 BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY
 Words & Music by Bill Monroe 1947
 These lyrics transcribed directly and faithfully from a Bill Monroe
 recording of his song, played in the key of "Bb".
 This song basically has only one verse and one chorus
 which are sung before & after fiddle & mandolin instrumentals.

 [G]Blue moon of Ken[G7]tucky, keep on [C]shining
 Shine [G]on the one that's gone and proved un[D]true
 Blue [G]moon of Ken[G7]tucky, keep on [C]shining
 Shine [G]on the one that's [D]gone and left me [G]blue
 
 It was [C]on a moonlight night
 The [G]stars were shining bright
 An' they [C]whispered from on high
 Yo' [G]love has said good[D]bye
 Blue [G]moon of Ken[G7]tucky keep on [C]shining
 Shine [G]on the one that's [D]gone and said good[G]bye
 
 Mandolin Instrumental verse
 
 Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
 Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
 Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
 Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
 
 Fiddle Instrumental verse
 
 It was on a moonlight night
 The stars were shining bright
 An' they whispered from on high
 Yo' love has said goodbye
 Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
 Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye

 "Back in those days, it seems every trip we made was from Kentucky
 to Florida driving back and forth.
 I always thought about Kentucky, and I wanted to write a
 song about the moon we could always see over it.
 The best way to do this was to bring a girl into the song.
 I wanted words to this, because most of my songs were instrumentals.
 'Kentucky Waltz' had come earlier and I knew I could write both words
 and music, so I qrote it in the car on the way home from one of those
 Florida trips." --Bill Monroe
