[F] [G] [C]
I know I'm [G] just a country [C] girl, I hadn't [G] seen much of the [F] world, the day my [G] bus pulled out of [C] old Kentucky.
My daddy [G] waved and mama [C] cried, and I felt [G] all bloated up inside, [F] cause I was [G] leaving everyone [C] that loved me.
[G] The first I saw of city ways, went against how I was [F] raised, this country girl was really [C] out of place.
[G] And I was set to go back home, but I was broken all alone, [F] and I couldn't find another [C] friendly face.
[E] But I didn't have the bus from [Am] Kentucky, [G] or this city would have seen the last [C] of me.
[E] I didn't have the bus [Am] from Kentucky, [D] and that old grey dog won't let you ride [G] for free.

[C] I met a boy [G] from Tennessee, [C] and I guess he [G] reminded me [F] of someone that [G] I knew in old [C] Kentucky.
It was good [G] to have a friend, [C] and it was good [G] to laugh with him, [F] and it was good [G] to hear him say [C] he loved me.
[G] I never thought he'd do me wrong, so I gladly went along, [F] I loved him more than any [C] man I've known.
[G] And after he had all his fun, he told me that our love was done, [F] and he left this country [C] girl alone.
[E] [Am] Kentucky, [G] or this city would have seen the [C] last of me.
[E] I didn't have the bus from [Am] Kentucky, [D] and that old grey dog won't let you ride [G] for free.
I can't afford to go first class, so I'll make the best of can.
Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land.
My thumb is in the air, and my suitcase by my side.
Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride?
[C] Kentucky, I don't need [F] anymore.
[G] Kentucky, I don't know why I [C] ever stray.
Kentucky, you're the best thing in the [F] world to me.
[G] Kentucky, I'm coming [C] home today.
Kentucky.
