Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[C]n I[G] wa[D]s j[G]ust a little
boy we lived [C]down on [G]a farm
Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred
miles [D]from harm
[G]We made our livin' from the dirt if
[C]anything [G]would grow
And we got our country music
from a big [D]old ra[G]dio
And we had Bill [C]Monroe
for breakfast [G]every day
Then we'd head out to the fields
a hoein' corn and mowin' [D]hay
[G]Aw mama loved his singin' daddy
loved [C]to hear [G]him play
And we had Bill Monroe for break[D]fast
[G]every day[C]
[G][D][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[D][Fiddle - Mandolin [G]]

[Verse 3]
We had a big [G]old battery
that ran [C]the radi[G]o
Sometimes we run it down a listenin'
to the [D]Oprah Show
[G]But we all had our instruments
and most [C]of us [G]could play
So we had Bill [D]Monroe[G]
[C]for breakfast any[G]way[D][G][C][G]
We had Bill Monroe for breakfast...
[D]Mam[G]a was a lady and
[C]my daddy liked [G]to preach
All we ever had was just
a place to eat and sleep
[D]If [G]I could go back home again
back to [C]the simple [G]ways
Oh we'd have Bill [D]Monroe[G]
[C]for breakfast eve[G]ry day[D][G][C][G]
We had Bill Monroe for [D]break[G]fast...
We had Bill Monroe for [D]breakfast every [G]day
