Chords for Blue moon of Kentucky/Kentucky Waltz - Bill Monroe - Emmylou Harris - Live 1995

[Em] I had invited somebody [Am] to come down and dance with me, but [Dm] he was [G] detained.
[Bm] So he was unable to come and dance with me.
So [N] he's here now, and he's going to come out and play a little mandolin for you.
Please welcome Bill Monroe.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey, I know _ _ _ _ _ nothing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
_ [N] _ _ Good afternoon, sir.
What are you doing [G] here?
_ I'd be awful happy [N] if you did.
You think she'd let me?
She might.
You haven't asked her.
Put the microphone [B] on.
I think it's on.
[A] _
_ _ Hi, Mr.
Monroe. _ _ _
_ _ He owes me a dance, but he's going to sing instead.
[Em] _
[N] She owes me more than a dance.
Oh, [Eb] well, we won't get into that.
What will Music City [Gm] News say?
[D] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
She's going to let me sing a couple songs.
And the first one, _ _ I'm going to sing the first verse, of course.
And then Sam over there will pick the time of the song up.
I [Db] want you to put your hands together then and sing with me on the last half of the song.

They think I just know the words to one more song.
_ [D] _

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ We were waltzing that night in Kentucky _
_ _ Beneath a beautiful _ [G] harvest [A] moon

_ _ [N] _
_ _ _ You're going to let me sing again sometime with you, ain't you?
I sure am.
Please.
It's a date. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank you so much.
It's really a pleasure to be down here.
[Em] And that was where we used to have the Grand Ole Opry here, you know.
Started at War [Gb] Memorial Building.
And then we [N] moved down here.
And I was the first Grand Ole Opry person to get it, come in the building here.
The Saturday night that we was going to be [D] here.
I was about [Dm] 35 minutes ahead of all the rest of them.
_ [A] _
But I've been on the Grand Ole Opry 55 years.
Now, this is a [Ab] truth, [D] and I hold up my hand to the good Lord.
[Bm] Out of the 55 years, I was late three times.
_ _ _ _ [C]
I [Gm] was late tonight.
_ _ [N] _ [Em] But they had so much stuff going on, you know, [B] I just [G] couldn't think of everything.
_ [Bb] _ [Am]
Thank [B] you so much.
And I want to hear you sing now.
All right.
I'll go head on.
