[Verse 1]
D Em F#m Em
Kentucky winter morning like a baby freshly born
D Em F#m Em D
Its snowy blanket may look cold but the feelin’s soft and warm
G D A D
And though the world looks trapped beneath the ice on evergreen
G A D
Life is waitin’ crouched and set to spring
[Chorus]
G A D G
Kentucky’s just as close to heaven as I’ll ever come
D A G A
Up there the mornin’ dew shines like emeralds in the sun
G A F#m G
The bluegrass and the meadow lifts you right up to the sky
D A G D
And I hope that I can go back to Kentucky when I die
[Verse 2]
D Em F#m Em
Kentucky spring time afternoon with perfume in the air
D Em F#m Em D
Is like a young girl runnin’ free with flowers in her hair
G D A D
Warm threads of sunlight weave a blanket on the meadow
G A D
A bed just right for any weary fellow
[Chorus]
G A D G
Kentucky’s just as close to heaven as I’ll ever come
D A G A
Up there the mornin’ dew shines like emeralds in the sun
G A F#m G
The bluegrass and the meadow lifts you right up to the sky
D A G D
And I hope that I can go back to Kentucky when I die
[Bridge]
G A Bm A
Kentucky summer days are lazy and long
G F#m Em A
The air is full of sunshine, and the woods are full of songs
G D A D
A father and his son sit beside a crystal stream
G D A
Reflecting on their past and future dreams
[Verse 3]
D Em F#m Em
Kentucky Autumn evening, front room rockin chair
D Em F#m Em D
An old man lights his pipe and blows smoke rings in the air
G D A D
Smiles down at the children, sittin’ at his knees
G A D
And tells them stories made of memories
[Chorus]
G A D G
Kentucky’s just as close to heaven as I’ll ever come
D A G A
Up there the mornin’ dew shines like emeralds in the sun
G A F#m G
The bluegrass and the meadow lifts you right up to the sky
D A G D
And I hope that I can go back to Kentucky when I die
[Outro]
G D F#m G
...Yeah the bluegrass and the meadow lifts you right up to the sky
D G A D Em F#m Em D
And i hope that i can go back to kentucky, when i die
