How are things in Clay, Kentucky?  Bet you thought I'd never care 
      G5    C5                                           G5 
There was a time when I felt lucky just to be away from there 
G5       C5                         C5     F5                  C5 
I've had all of what I wanted, but what I want, I just can't find 
  G5         C5                                      G5    C5 
& how things are in Clay, Kentucky, has been lately on my mind 
 

A5     D5                      D5        G5               D5 
  All alone in New York City, searchin' for that pot of gold 
        A5     D5                                                 A5 
Now I'm at the end of all my rainbows, & all at once I'm feelin' old 
  A5        D5                           D5     G5             D5 
I count the tires of how I'm livin', of what I am & what I'm not 
  A5       D5                                       A5   D5 
& the only gold in New York City is in a Salvation Army pot 
 

B5            E5                        E5      A5                E5 
  I'm gettin' blue for the bluegrass & how the old folks are at home 
B5       E5                                            B5 
Just let me do the talkin', 'cause I know you're all alone 
B5     E5                                A5                E5 
I hear kids back there playin'; I won't be, don't notice me 
B5    E5                                         B5     E5 
Jesus knows I still love you, but I just had to call & see 
 

G5           C5                       C5      F5                 C5 
  How things are in Clay, Kentucky.  Bet you thought I'd never care
