They shut down the mine last summer
      F             C
We're gettin' by on welfare
               Am      C
It's Christmas Eve I'm walkin' home
      F            G
Not a dollar to my name
C
Night is almost on me
  F                C
A night I'm almost dreading
   F                     C
No store bought gifts to open
                F         G7       C
But there'll be Christmas just the same

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
     F               C                 Dm7               G
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands
           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
                   Am       C                             Am  C
Our fine and fancy homemade love God's precious gift from up above
                               Am      G             C
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man

C
  There's a brand new Barlow knife
       F            C
with a shiny wooden handle
                Am
Gleamin' in the window
F         C               G
  Down at Galen Johnson's store
   C
My wide eyed little Billy Boy
    F                   C
His face pressed to the window
    F              C
Too young for understandin'
F         C        G     C
  what it means to be so poor

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
     F               C                 Dm7               G

It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

Little Linda ain't no baby hell
    G                 D
She turns thirteen in April
           Bm        D
She's been dreamin' about that dolly
                           A
In the window for half her life
      D
She's old enough to realize
     G              D
That it ain't never comin'
    G               D
I'd damn near rob a bank
   G        D        A       D
To get that doll and Billy's knife
