Leftover Salmon - Blue Kentucky Sky
G C G
Somebody asked me if I'd been to old Kentucky
G D
If I'd seen the green hills in the early morning light
G C G
I just laughed and smiled, said you know that I've been lucky
G D G
I've got visions of Kentucky, in every corner of my mind.
I fust saw Kentucky when I was seventeen
And I hitchhiked out of Pittsburg chasing bluegrass dreams
I went to my first festival and drank a little shine
Watching Bill Monroe sing the Walls of Time
Em G
And them green Kentucky hills
Bm Em
Rollin to the sky
G Em
Ripplin waters flowin
G D
Under that Moonshine
C G
Been around the World
G Em
But I've never rest my eyes
C G
On a place as sweet as home
D G
Under Blue Kentucky Skies
C G
On a place as sweet as home
D G
Under Blue Kentucky Sky
Well I've lived a life I've been up and I've been down
I have lived on porches and slept out on the ground
Well I've hung around mansions and all that I've found
That there's nothing ike a cabin in that Old Kentucky ground
Chorus
Jam (verse and Chorus)
Well I go back to Kentucky just to play this old guitar
That's how I make my livin now, singing in these bars
But no matter how far I travel these days, no matter how far
I've got visions of Kentucky shining like a star
Chorus
