A5
Turpentine and dandelion wine
     A5                     D5
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
D5                            A5
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
E5                          A5
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
         D5                     A5
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
        E5                           A5
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead

A5
Sister Sue she's short and stout
    A5                       D5
She didn't grow up, she grew out
D5                                  A5
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind
E5                                  A5
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
   D5                        A5
We don't let her out much except at night
    E5                           A5
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right


          A5                       D5            A5
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
        A5                       E5 
And the young folks roll on the floor
        A5                       D5            A5
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
     A5                E5           A5
Keep them hard times away from my door

A5
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
       A5                 D5
And he don't have much to say
D5                         A5
Got a little woman who he whooped each day
E5                   A5
But now she's gone away
    D5                        A5
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs
    E5                         A5
But I'm all right, so I don't care


        A5                       D5            A5
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
        A5                       E5 
And the young folks roll on the floor
        A5                       D5            A5
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
     A5                E5           A5
Keep them hard times away from my door

A5
Turpentine and dandelion wine
     A5                     D5
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
D5                            A5
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
E5                          A5
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
         D5                     A5
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
        E5                           A5
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
