[Speech]
A
Up in Kentucky they make a whiskey they call a Kentucky straight whiskey
A
And up in Kentucky I married a woman
A
That I bet she is a better woman than that whiskey is whiskey
A
I call her my Kentucky straight


[Verse 1]
     A                 D                  A                E
I've rambled round the country side, I've drifted near and far
     A                   D                  B7               E
I've been off to seek my fortune, I've been following every star
     A                D            E                A
I've rode the devil's highway, the hell bound interstate
    A               D                E            A    A7
But now I'm back at happy shack with my Kentucky straight


[Chorus]
       D             E                A
And we rise up every morning with the chicken
    D            E                 A  A7
And every minute we're alive we're living
        D              E                  A             D
She's a little bit old fashioned, but her lovin's up to date
        A               E            A
And I'm happy here with my Kentucky straight


[Verse 2]
      A               D              A               E
I had looked for satisfaction in the arms of quite a few
    A              D                B7            E
And I've done everything that I was big enough to do
    A            D                 E               A
But everywhere I see her face from Maine to golden gate
    A                   D                  E            A    A7
And I knew that this is where it's at with my Kentucky straight


[Chorus]
       D             E                A
And we rise up every morning with the chicken
    D            E                 A  A7
And every minute we're alive we're living
        D              E                  A             D
She's a little bit old fashioned, but her lovin's up to date
        A               E            A
And I'm happy here with my Kentucky straight
