[Verse]
E                    A  E
I was born July 9th, 1923
E                                                  B7
In a barbershop in Florida, that's where the master found me
E                        A                  E
built for an orchestra, that wouldn't be my fate
E                                        B7             E
I'd help form a brand new sound from the Grand Ole Opry stage
 
E
From Jerusalem Ridge in Ole Rosine
     A                  E
to a gaslit schoolhouse stage
E
miles and miles of backroads
                  B7
in the trunk of a Chevrolet
E                                       A           E
the baseball games and tent shows, each day I would perform
E                B7          E
and the music of America was born
 
[Chorus]
B7                     A            E
Blue Moon of Kentucky, Big Mon, and Uncle Pen
E                                   A              B7
Across the land, they rang from me, time and time again
E                            A              E
just a second hand mandolin, hanging on the wall
E                B7               E
till the master's hands changed it all
 
[Verse]
E                                    A            E
now Bill Monroe is resting neath the old Kentucky clay
E                                       B7
and I'm in the Hall of Fame, proudly on display
E                                        A           E
the people come from around the world to see me once again
E                               B7           E
and hear the music I created in the master's hands
 
[Chorus]
B7                     A            E
Blue Moon of Kentucky, Big Mon, and Uncle Pen
E                                   A              B7
Across the land, they rang from me, time and time again
E                            A              E
just a second-hand mandolin, hanging on the wall
E                B7               E
till the master's hands changed it all
 
E                            A              E
just a second-hand mandolin, hanging on the wall
E                B7               E
till the master's hands changed it all
