There’s a low green val-ley 
-4  4  -5   6   -6 -7   7
on the old Ken-tuck-y shore, 
  -7   -6    6     6  6 -6  6    5   4 -4
Where I’ve whiled man-y hap-py hours a-way, 
5  -56  6    6 -6  6    5
A  sit-ting and a sing-ing 
-4  4  -5   6  -6   -7   7
By the lit-tle cot-tage door, 
-7 -6   6    56  6   -5  -4  -3   4
Where lived, my dar-ling Nel-lie Gray

O my poor Nel-lie Gray, 
 6    -5  -5  5   5  5  5
They have tak-en you a-way, 
 5   -5   6  6   6  6  -6   6   5  4  -4
And I’ll nev-er see my dar-ling an-y more, 
5-5  6   6   6  -6   6  5
I’m sit-ting by the riv-er 
-4   4   -5   6  -6  -7   7...
And I’m weep-ing all the day, 
-7    -6    6    5
For you’ve gone from 
 6   6  -5   4  -3   4
The old Ken-tuck-y shore.
