Blue Kentucky Girl written by Johnny Mullen
performed by Emmylou Harris


(G) You left me for the (C) bright lights of the (G)town

A (C) country boy set out to see the (D) world

(G) Remember when those (C) city lights shine (G) down

That big old (C) moon shines on (D) your Kentucky (G) girl

CHORUS

I (C) swear I love you by the moon above (G) you

How (A) bright is it shining in your (D) world

Some (G) morning when you (C) wake up all (G) alone

Just come on (C) home to your (D) blue Kentucky (G) girl



(G) Don't wait to bring great (C) riches home to (G) me

I need (C) no diamond rings or fancy (D) pearls

Just (G) bring yourself your (C) all I"ll ever (G) need

That's good (C) enough for this (D) blue Kentucky (G) girl
