Tom: D
D G D
When I was just a little boy we lived down on a farm
D A7
Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred miles from harm
D G D
We made our livin' from the dirt if anything would grow
D A7 D
And we got our country music from a big old radio and
[Chorus]
G D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
D A7
Then we'd head out to the fields a hoein' corn and mowin' hay
D G D
Aw mama loved his singin' daddy loved to hear him play
D A7 D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
[Verse 2]
D G D
We had a big old battery that ran the radio
D A7
Sometimes we run it down a listenin' to the Opry Show
D G D
But we all had our instruments and most of us could play
D A7 D
So we had Bill Monroe for breakfast anyway
[Chorus]
G D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
D A7
Then we'd head out to the fields a hoein' corn and mowin' hay
D G D
Aw mama loved his singin' daddy loved to hear him play
D A7 D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
[Verse 3]
D G D
Mama was a lady and my daddy liked to preach
D A7
All we ever had was just a place to eat and sleep
D G D
If I could go back home again back to the simple ways
D A7 D
Oh we'd have Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
[Chorus]
G D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
D A7
Then we'd head out to the fields a hoein' corn and mowin' hay
D G D
Aw mama loved his singin' daddy loved to hear him play
D A7 D
And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
[Outro]
D A7 D
We had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
