Ricky Skaggs - Kentucky thunder

Daniel ^DBoone cut his way into Kentucky Indians ^Dcall that place the ^Adark and bloody ^Dground They ^Dopened up the wilderness with courage Cele^Dbrated with an ^Aol’ hoe ^Ddown

I grew ^Dup in the shadow of the mountains Where the ^Dcreeks ran clear and the ^Anine pound hammer ^Dswings My folks ^Dtaught me to have pride in ol’ Kentucky And it ^Dwells inside me ^Aevery time I ^Dsing

I ^Ghear the sound of horse’s hooves ^GMcCoy 'n' Hatfield mountain feuds The ^Gbluegrass music, that’s Kentucky ^Dthunder I ^Ghear the rumble from the mines ^GUp dark hollers the moon still shines ^GSweet Kentucky girls are still the ^Awonder^{C G A} Lord and ^Dwhen I die, that’s where I want to lie Un^Gtil ol’ ^AGable blows his final ^Bmnumber^G And it rolls across the ^Asky like Kentucky ^Dthunder

My music ^Dcarried me far from that ol’ home place But my ^Droots always ran ^Ato that rocky ^Dsoil Aw you can ^Dtake the boy from ol’ Kentucky But you ^Dcan’t take Ken^Atucky from the ^Dboy

I ^Ghear the sound of horse’s hooves ^GMcCoy 'n' Hatfield mountain feuds The ^Gbluegrass music, that’s Kentucky ^Dthunder I ^Ghear the rumble from the mines ^GUp dark hollers the moon still shines ^GSweet Kentucky girls are still the ^Awonder^{C G A} Lord and ^Dwhen I die, that’s where I want to lie Un^Gtil ol’ ^AGable blows his final ^Bmnumber^G And it rolls across the ^Asky like Kentucky ^Dthunder (repeat 4x, hold on last)
