Blue Moon of Kentucky

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
1 5
Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
1 5 1
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

It was on a moonlight night the stars were shining bright
4 1 5
And they whispered from on high your love has said good-bye
1 4
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
1 5 1
Shine on the one that’s gone and said good-bye
