Verse 1:
         C                      F             C
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
      C                         G
'Tis summer, the old folks are gay
           C                      F               C
Where the corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
                     G              C
While the birds make music all the day


Chorus:
C       F         C
Weep no more, my lady
    C             C
Oh, weep no more today
      C
We'll sing one song
       F            C
For my old Kentucky home
       C             G        C
For my old Kentucky home, far away

Verse 2:
C                              F                 C
Well the young folks roll all around the cabin floor
C                              G
They're merry, all happy and bright
       C                         F               C
By-and-by hard times will come a-knocking at the door
                      G           C
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight


Chorus:
C       F         C
Weep no more, my lady
    C             C
Oh, weep no more today
      C
We'll sing one song
       F            C
For my old Kentucky home
       C             G        C
For my old Kentucky home, far away

We'll sing one song
       F            C
For my old Kentucky home
       C             G        C
For my old Kentucky home, far away
       C             G        C
For my old Kentucky home, far away
