Blue Kentucky Sky

	  		Leftover Salmon - Blue Kentucky Sky 

G     C     G 
Somebody asked me if I'd been to old Kentucky 
G    D 
If I'd seen the green hills in the early morning light 
G     C     G 
I just laughed and smiled, said you know that I've been lucky 
G     D     G 
I've got visions of Kentucky, in every corner of my mind. 

I fust saw Kentucky when I was seventeen 
And I hitchhiked out of Pittsburg chasing bluegrass dreams 
I went to my first festival and drank a little shine 
Watching Bill Monroe sing the Walls of Time 

Em G    
And them green Kentucky hills 
Bm  Em 
Rollin to the sky 
G    Em 
Ripplin waters flowin  
G         D 
Under that Moonshine 
C   G 
Been around the World  
G   Em 
But I've never rest my eyes 
C     G 
On a place as sweet as home 
D        G 
Under Blue Kentucky Skies 
C     G 
On a place as sweet as home 
D        G 
Under Blue Kentucky Sky 



Well I've lived a life I've been up and I've been down 
I have lived on porches and slept out on the ground 
Well I've hung around mansions and all that I've found 
That there's nothing ike a cabin in that Old Kentucky ground 

Chorus 

Jam (verse and Chorus) 

Well I go back to Kentucky just to play this old guitar 
That's how I make my livin now, singing in these bars 
But no matter how far I travel these days, no matter how far 
I've got visions of Kentucky shining like a star 

Chorus
