F                   Bb                  F
You left me for the bright light of the town
F G7                            C
A country boy set out to see the world
  F                 Bb                 F
Remember when those neon lights shine down
             G7             C             F
That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl
          Bb                    F
I swear I love you by the moon above you
    G7                            C   C7
How bright is it shining in your world
     F                Bb            F
Some morning when you wake up  all alone
             G7           C             F     
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl

SOLO

F                         Bb            F
Don't wait to bring great riches home to me
  G7                             C    C7
I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls
      F             Bb                   F 
Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need
             G7             C              F
That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl
          Bb                    F
I swear I love you by the moon above you
    G7                            C   C7
How bright is it shining in your world
     F                Bb            F
Some morning when you wake up  all alone
             G7           C             F     
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
             G7           C             F     
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
