Johnny Cash - Kentucky Straight: chords

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

      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

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