Blue Moon Of Kentucky - ukulele chords

This is a really nice bouncing traditional tune that I think works wonderfully on the ukulele - just get into a chugging rhythm on your uke and away you go!


(lyrics provided strictly for educational purposes!)


Verse:

Blue [A]moon of Kentucky, keep on [D]shining.
Shine [A]on the one that's gone and proved un[E7]true.
Blue [A]moon of Kentucky, keep on [D]shining.
Shine [A]on the one that's [E7]gone and left me [A]blue. [A7]

 Chorus:

It was [D]on a moonlight [D7]night,
The [A]stars were shining [A7]bright.
And they [D]whispered from on [D7]high,
"Your [A]love has said good[E7]bye."

Blue [A]moon of Kentucky, keep on [D]shining.
Shine [A]on the one that's [E7]gone and said good[A]bye.

Repeat Verse

  4. When growing up my folks sang this song but instead of "the one that's proved untrue" it was "the one who's left me blue"

    and "your love has said goodbye" was "our love will never die"
