Verse 

D 
Lord I’m lonesome for Kentucky 
        G                      A7 
Dixie’s darlin’, my pride and joy 
          D                          Bbm 
Yeah I’m lonesome for the bluegrass country 
            D         A7       D 
Cause I’m a bluegrass country boy

            A                           D 
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight 
              A                       D                  A 
And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine 
          D                          Bbm 
Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country 
           D        A7      D 
And that bluegrass home of mine 


Verse 

          D 
And this longing for my darlin’ 
         G                         A7 
Lord it hurts some, the teardrops start 
         D                    Bbm 
And the wonder, if she loves another 
           D     A7     D 
Is like a bullet in my heart

      A                         D 
I reminisce about kisses oh so tender 
           A                      D            A 
Kisses so sweet as the blue muskadines on the vine 
          D                          Bbm 
Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country 
          D         A7      D 
And that bluegrass home of mine 


Verse 

          D 
Now I’ve decided I want fight it 
          G                   A7 
This old feeling, down in the mouth 
         D                          Bbm 
I can’t shake it, so the devil take it 
               D             A7     D 
I’ll take the first freight headed south
