Don Rogers – Im A Kentuckian Live chords

[Chorus 1]
E                         BI’m a Kentuckian, and I’m from the South
        E                      ABut you won’t hear hate comin’ from my mouth
            E                        BUnless it’s aimed at greed, or maybe hate itself
E              AI believe in a Commonwealth
    E                               B                    AI’m from this place, and that’s how I was raised.  I’m a Kentuckian

[Verse 1]
E                           BThe people in my life, knew how to love
E                                          AThey’d see a man fall down and then they’d help him up
                 E                                        BSometimes they’d say harsh things, but it wan’t that they didn’t care
           E                                             AAnd they’d sure get mad at the people who didn’t want to treat folks fair
    E                    B                              AAnd I still hear, ringin’ in my ears the words of those Southerners

[Chorus 2]
E                         BI’m a Kentuckian, and I’m from the South
        E                      ABut you won’t hear hate comin’ from my mouth
                  E                  BUnless it’s aimed at greed, or maybe hate itself
E              AI believe in a Commonwealth
    E                               B                    AI’m from this place, and that’s how I was raised.  I’m a Kentuckian

Break (solo)

[Verse 2]
E                                 BAnd yes it’s true, that there was hate around
        E                                    ABut the people around me didn’t wanna try to bring folks down
           E                                     BThey would show respect to the people that would come around
E                              ADidn’t make a difference poor, black or brown
    E                    B                          AAnd I still see, lookin’ over me, the eyes of those Southerners

[Chorus 3]
E                         BI’m a Kentuckian, and I’m from the South
        E                      ABut you won’t hear hate comin’ from my mouth
            E                        BUnless it’s aimed at greed, or maybe hate itself
E              AI believe in a Commonwealth
           E                               B                    A'cause I’m from this place, and that’s how I was raised.  I’m a Kentuckian
