Kentucky Hurricane

[Intro]
F  Am  F  Am
F  Am  F  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
    F
The wildest one I ever seen
Am
Blew out of Bowling Green
F                     Am
Half a mile off Exit 22
F
Save all week to lay a spell
Am
Up in that old motel
F                              Am
Have ourselves a redneck rendezvous
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
Say, mama, you'd better rest
            F
You've been rockin' them boys to death
Am            G               Dm
Every bar I'm in, I hear your name
F                         Am
Lay down my Kentucky Hurricane
 
 
[Interlude]
F  Am  F  Am
 
 
[Verse 2]
F
One by one, they slide in hot
Am
Crowdin' up the parkin' lot
F                                  Am
Darlin', how I wish they'd let you be
  F
I sit out here and wait my turn
Am
Wonderin' when you'll ever learn
F                                   Am
Told you I'm your man, I'll set you free
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
Now, mama, I've got enough
       F
We can count it up in the truck
Am                 G                 Dm
Quit this town and catch the morning train
F                         Am
Come on, my Kentucky Hurricane
 
 
[Bridge]
      F
Well, I've been up and I've been down
Am
Lookin' for a pretty gown
G                 F              Am G
Dreamin' 'bout an autumn wedding day
F
Comin' through the Campton gap
Am
With your legs across my lap
G                 F                 Am        G
One night, I just know we'll find a way, hey, hey
 
 
[Instrumental Break]
F  Am  F  Am
F  Am  F  Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
    F
For heaven's sakes, oh, man alive
Am
Got me down on 65
F                             Am
Swept me up, now here I am, marooned
F
Starin' out these prison bars
Am
Up into the bluegrass stars
F                              Am
Swear I saw you dancing in the moon
 
 
[Chorus]
     G
Now, mama, I've gotta go
      F
I can hear that ol' whistle blow
Am           G                  Dm
Got myself a brand-new ball and chain
F                           Am
Goodnight, my Kentucky Hurricane
 
 
[Outro]
F  Am  F  Am
