Chords for Bobby Bare Interviews Bill Monroe Part 2

Like I promised we're back and here's the legendary Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys doing their classic Uncle Penn
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ people would come from far away
They danced all night till the regular day
When they called real hard
Don't you know you knew Uncle Penn [E] was ready [A] to go _ _
[D] Running in the mountain
[A] Nine high on the hill
And above the town
[D#] Made a fiddle all the [Em] high but rang
He [A] had a talk he did [B] sing
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Played _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
an old piece of gold soldered joy
And won a couple of balls
The greatest of all what Jimmy Land
I mean that's where it all began
_ _ [D]
Running in the mountain
[A] Nine high on the hill
And above the _ _ _ town
Made a fiddle all the high but [B] [F#m] rang
_ [A] Oh _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ never [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
forget that morning
When Uncle Penn was called away
They hung up his fiddle
He said he hung up his ball
He knew it was time for him to go
_ _ [D] Ranging in and bouncing [A] down
Nine high on the hill
And above the _ _ _ _ _ town
Made a fiddle all the high but rang
He had a talk he did sing _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ What _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ an ending
[N] How did you like that
I love Bluegrass ending Bill
Did you have when you wrote [B] this song
did you really have an Uncle Penn
Yes, sir, Uncle Penn went by the side of the family
Was he a fiddle player?
He was the first fiddle player [E] I ever heard play a number. _
_ Let me [N] ask you this, where did you learn how to do that [F#] dance?
_ Up in Kentucky.
_ [B] _ _ _
Well, I know all your family picks and plays, Charlie and all of them.
Yes, sir.
But [F#] how did you wind up playing the [B] man then?
Well, to start with, there was three of us brothers, and one of them, [F#] he was the oldest one, he wanted to [G] play the fiddle.
I wanted to [C#m] play the fiddle, but he played the fiddle, and Charlie, he wanted to play the [D#m] guitar, [N] so I was left to Taterbug Manlin to play. _ _
They used to call that the gourd.
Yes, sir.
This is better than that, though.
This is one of the best.
How old is that?
It's [Gm] made in 1923.
[D#] _ That's older [B] than, _ yeah, that's older than I am. _ _ _
[F#] I know that [N] _ you all travel as much, probably more than anybody in the world. _
How many days do you think you'd be on the road in a year's time?
[D#] _ [G#] 150, [E] _ 200?
Bobby, I would say this year [N] we'll probably hit from 200 to 250 days on the road.
_ Bill, now we've all heard about the famous Bill Monroe _ _ School of Bluegrass Music.
Now, how many people have been in it?
I know Mack Wiseman was part of it for a while.
Yes, sir.
He had a lot to learn when he started with me.
I would say around 150, something like that.
Who all have you had?
Earl Scruggs?
Yeah, Earl, he played for me when he was 19 years old, I believe.
Benny Martin when he was 17.
Sonny Osborne when he was 13.
_ You've had them all.
I have.
You've got some good ones here now, don't you?
Why don't you introduce the fellas?
All right.
Could I start over here on the left-hand side?
Yeah, sure.
This is Wayne Lewis.
He's from up in the eastern part of Kentucky.
And he's been with me around eight years.
_ And then with the bass fiddle here, we have a gentleman from the [A#] state of Wisconsin.
His name is Mark Hembrick.
And then with the five [G]-string banjo from Sparta, Tennessee, the Sparta Flash, we [E] have [F#] Blake Williams.
[G#] And over on the corner with the little fiddle from [C#m] Jenkins, Kentucky, he's been with [G#] me around 23 years.
[F#m]
His name is [A#] Kenny Baker. _ _ _ _ _
Now, I know [N] I was just fooling around a while ago in there messing around with [B] Blue Moon in Kentucky.
[G] Now, of all the [D#] songs you've written, that's [A#] probably my favorite.
[F#] Now, why don't you guys _ [N] get together and do it the way it should be done, the way you wrote it?
What, sir?
Blue Moon in Kentucky.
I love it.
Thank you.
