My Old Kentucky Home chords
Stephen Foster 
    G          G7           C            GThe sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
                 A7          D7'Tis summer, the darkies are gay
    G          G7           C           GThe corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloom
          Em         D     D7      GWhile the birds make music all the day
                G7          C            GThe young folks roll on the little cabin floor
               A7        D7All merry, all happy and bright
      G       G7           C               GBy 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door
        Em           A7    D7   GThen my old Kentucky home, good night.
G       C       GWeep no more my lady,
   C              Goh weep no more today.
                 G7           C            GWe will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
        Em           A7   D7   Gfor the old Kentucky home far away.
     G       G7            C              GThey hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,
               A7           D7On meadow, the hill and the shore,
     G       G7          C              GThey sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
       Em            D   D7    GOn the bench by that old cabin door.
             G7        C               GThe day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
                  A7        D7With sorrow where all was delight.
    G        G7            C               GThe time has come when the darkies have to part,
        Em           A7    D7   GThen my old Kentucky home, good night.
G       C       GWeep no more my lady,
   C              Goh weep no more today.
                 G7           C            GWe will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
        Em           A7   D7   Gfor the old Kentucky home far away.
The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go
A few more days and the trouble will end,
In the field where sugar-canes may grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light.
A few more days till we totter on the road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G       C       GWeep no more my lady,
   C              Goh weep no more today.
                 G7           C            GWe will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
        Em           A7   D7   Gfor the old Kentucky home far away.
