Verse 1

C                            G7
Where are you old moon of Kentucky
        C                     G7
There's somebody lonesome and blue
     C          Am        F            C
With nothing it seems but memories and dreams
D7                    G7
Waiting to whisper to you

Verse 2

       C                G7                   D7
Day is done and here am I alone and you know why
     G7                        C   G7
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
       C                       G7           D7
Shed a ray of silvery light on one I love tonight
     G7                        C
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

Verse 3

        G7                     D7          G7
You are watching on high as we whisper goodbye
       D7                        G7
Twas a love dream that ended too soon
        C                  G7                D7
But wherever you may be go bring her back to me
     G7                        C
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

Verse 4

                              G7
At dawning fond hopes come to cheer me
    C                       G7
But twilight brings sorrows anew
    C              Am       F             C
And night finds me here the world sad and drear
D7                      G7
Sending this message to you

Verse 2

       C                G7                   D7
Day is done and here am I alone and you know why
     G7                        C   G7
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
       C                       G7           D7
Shed a ray of silvery light on one I love tonight
     G7                        C
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

You are watching on high as we whisper goodbye

Twas a love dream that ended too soon

But wherever you may be go bring her back to me
