[A]INTR[D]O[E7][A]

[A]Bury me a[D]long the big san[D7]dy,
[A]Down in those blue, gray [E7]mountains.
[A]Rest my soul in those [D]hills of coal,
Un[A]til this old [E]earth does [A]tremble.
Don't you [D]mourn for me when my [A]soul is free,
No [D]woman, don't you [E]cry.
You just [A]bury me a[D]long the big sandy,
[A]Under a [E7]blue Kentucky [A]sky.


This old town of sin, its a[D]bout to do me in,
I don't [A]know how much I can [E7]stand.
With my [A]knees on the street and my [D]heart at their feet,
I'm [A]forced to [E]beg from Satan's [A]hand.


So bury me a[D]long the big san[D7]dy,
[A]Down in those blue, gray [E7]mountains.
[A]Rest my soul in those [D]hills of coal,
Un[A]til this old [E]earth does [A]tremble.
Don't you [D]mourn for me when my [A]soul is free,
No [D]woman, don't you [E]cry.
You just [A]bury me a[D]long the big sandy,
[A]Under a [E]blue Kentucky [A]sky.


[A]INS[D]TRU[A]MEN[E]TAL[A] [D][A][E][A][D7][A][D][E][A][D][A][E][A]


When I came to this land, I was [D]strong and I could stand,
Oh, but [A]now I've somehow gone a[E]stray.
Yet I [A]still see the truth in the [D]teaching of my youth,
And I [A]know that the [E]Lord ain't turned a[A]way.


[A]Bury me a[D]long the big san[D7]dy,
[A]Down in those blue, gray [E7]mountains.
[A]Rest my soul in those [D]hills of coal,
Un[A]til this old [E]earth does [A]tremble.
Don't you [D]mourn for me when my [A]soul is free,
No [D]woman, don't you [E]cry.
You just [A]bury me a[D]long the big sandy,
[A]Under a [E7]blue Kentucky [A]sky.
[A]Under a [E7]blue Kentucky [A]sky.
[A]Under a [E7]blue Kentucky [A]sky.
