D9         A9
Never been anywhere
A9           C9
South of the Delaware
G9                  A
Never been through Kahalamazoo
G7         C7        D

D9        A9
Living is fanasy
A9         C9
Travelling mentally
G9              A
Making up tunes in hotel rooms
       G7          C7         D
'bout places I've never been to

       A                   G7      C7       D
Though I've never cruised under a Kentucky Moon
D  C        A    F        D   C  A   D
I have my dream Kentucky Moon

         G   F   D
But it's all imitary
      G      F         D
From songs, films and TV
       G   F    D        C           A
But I can visualise what I've never seen
D  C        A    F        D  C  A   D C  A  
I have my dream ­Kentucky Moon.

Route 66 to me is still a mystery
And Ohio, too
Went Chicago blue down to St. Louie blues

Never been anywhere south of the Delaware
Never been through Kalamazu
Never been to Timbuktu

But I can visualize what I've never seen
So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon
As I sit by a while I sleep in my room
But it's just imagery
From songs, films and TV
But I can visualize what I've never seen
So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon
