[Verse 1]
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
