[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D
Daniel Boone cut his way into Kentucky
D A D
Indians call that place the dark and bloody ground
D
They opened up the wilderness with courage
D A D
Celebrated with an ol’ hoe down

[Verse 2]
D
I grew up in the shadow of the mountains
D A D
Where the creeks ran clear and the nine pound hammer swings
D
My folks taught me to have pride in ol’ Kentucky
D A D
And it wells inside me every time I sing

[Chorus]
G
I hear the sound of horse’s hooves
G
McCoy 'n' Hatfield mountain feuds
G D
The bluegrass music, that’s Kentucky thunder
G
I hear the rumble from the mines
G
Up dark hollers the moon still shines
G A C G A
Sweet Kentucky girls are still the wonder
D
Lord and when I die, that’s where I want to lie
G A Bm G
Until ol’ Gable blows his final number
A
And it rolls across the sky like
D
Kentucky thunder
G A D

[Verse 3]
D
My music carried me far from that ol’ home place
D A D
But my roots always ran to that rocky soil
D
Aw you can take the boy from ol’ Kentucky
D A D
But you can’t take Kentucky from the boy

[Chorus]
G
I hear the sound of horse’s hooves
G
McCoy 'n' Hatfield mountain feuds
G D
The bluegrass music, that’s Kentucky thunder
