Rosemary Clooney - Sweet Kentucky Ham chords
Start Jamming...
This next song is a song written by a wonderful musician, Dave Frishberg, who has a kind of a strange slant on everything.
This is the quintessential road song.
All musicians know about it, and a lot of other jobs that entail a lot of travel.
It's [C#] 6pm,
[B] suppertime [F#] in South Bend, Indiana, [C#]
[B] and you figure what [A#m] the hell, [F#] you can eat in your [A#m] motel, so you order up [C#] room service on the phone,
[D#m]
[G#m] and you watch the [Fm] local news, and [D#m] eat alone, [C#]
[G#] you've gotta take [B] what little pleasures [A#m] you can find, [D#] when you've [F#] got sweet Kentucky ham on your mind,
on your [D#m] mind, [D] nothing but sweet
[B] Kentucky ham [F#] on your mind, [G#m]
[C] [B]
it's [C#] 10pm, [B]
they're rolling [C#] up the [B] sidewalks [A#m] in Milwaukee, [B]
[F#] and the only place to eat [A#m]
[B] is just across the [A#m] street,
so [B] you sit there with a bowl of [A#m] navy bean, [D#m]
[B] and you turn the [Fm] pages of [D#m] your magazine, and you feel you wanna quit, while [C#] you're behind, [A]
you've got [B] sweet Kentucky [C#] ham on your mind,
on your [A#m] mind, nothing but sweet [B]
Kentucky ham on [Fm] your mind,
[F#] [Bm] and you feel like [C#] you're forever on the [C#m] phone, half past ten, [E] [C#m] let it ring, [F#m] [D] dial again, [E] [E] [A] same damn thing,
and [Dm] you're really getting [C] hungry for some talk, grab a shower,
[D] take a walk, [F#]
[F] [A#m]
[B] it's [C#m] 3am, [B]
[C#] they're serving up, last call in Cincinnati, [B]
[E] [B] but it's still a nighttime [A#m] town,
if you [F#] know your [A#m] way around, [B] and despite yourself, you find you're [A#m] wide awake,
[D#m] and [G#m] you're staring at [Fm] your scrambled [D#m] eggs and steak, [B] and you feel as though your heart's [C#] about to break,
[A] when [C#] you think of [B] what you left [F#] behind, [D#m] and you got sweet [B] Kentucky [F#] ham on your mind, [D#m] on your mind, nothing [Fm] but sweet Kentucky [B] ham [C] on your
[Bm] mind.
[A#m]
[B] Dave Frishberg, [F#] love you.
