[N] [C] [G]
I've traveled all the country wide seeking fortune fair
Up and down the two-fold times I've traveled [D] everywhere
[C] From Poland East to Poland [G] West back [D] along the line
[G] I'm a-going out to the place that's best at all hometown of mine
Eight more miles and a new A [C]-bill will come into [G] my view
Eight more miles on the show [A] road and I'll never more be blue
[C] I knew [G] someday that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles and a new A-bill's the hometown of my heart
[C]
[G]
[D] [C] [G]
There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and [D] she is tall
[C] But she's the [G] kind that you can't find her applin' [D] to the land
[G] I'm on my way to birthday to win her heart in hand
Oh eight more miles and a new A [C]-bill will come into [G] my view
Eight more miles on the show [A] road and I'll never [D] more be blue
[C] I knew [G] someday that I'd come back I knew it [D] from the start
[G] Eight more miles Louisville's the hometown of my heart
[C]
[G] [D]
[C] [G]
Well I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little cot quickly we'll never [D] want to roam
[C] Now the place that's right for [G] that love sight is in them bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
Oh eight more miles and a new A [C]-bill will come into [G] my view
Eight more miles on the show [A] road and I'll never more be blue
[C] I knew someday that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles Louisville's the hometown of my heart
