Subject: RE: tune Req: Kentucky Waltz From: Gulliver Date: 24 Jan 07 - 11:57 AM This sounds very similar to a tune recorded by Ry Cooder called "I always knew that you were the one". Is it the same tune? Which came first? |

Subject: Chords Add: KENTUCKY WALTZ (Bill Monroe) From: GUEST Date: 30 Apr 06 - 12:42 PM Country & Western Songbook Sheet Music Score KENTUCKY WALTZ Bill Monroe We were (C) waltzing that night in Kentucky Beneath the beautiful (C/E) Har-(EbDim)-vest (G7) moon And I was the boy that was lucky But it all (G+) ended too (C) soon As I sit here alone in the moonlight I see your (C7) smiling (F) face And I long once (D7/F#) more (F#dim) for (C/G) your em-(A7)-brace And that (D7) beautiful Ken-(G7)-tucky (C) Waltz. Note. The original "Kentucky Waltz" was one of some 75 instrumentals that Bill Monroe wrote before he tried his hand at lyric writing. The 1934 version helped established the Monroe Brothers as a major country act and became a mainstay in Bill's repertory when he formed his famous Blue Grass Boys in 1938. He added a lyric to the tune and scored another success with it in 1946, but it was Eddy Arnold's 1951 recording that became a best seller. Monroe was born in Kentucky, and his "bluegrass style" of unamplified instrumentals was a dirrect of the string bands that flourished in the 1920s and featured a solo fiddle. |

Subject: RE: tune Req: Kentucky Waltz From: Mark Clark Date: 18 Apr 04 - 02:04 PM I'm not certain why GUEST reposted the ABC code above. It's identical to the ABC code I posted above on 23 Feb 04 - 04:53 PM. GUEST's code has the disadvantage of being incomplete with respect to the required header fields and GUEST didn't bother to escape the < characters in measures 11 and 18 so they are eaten by our browsers and don't appear in GUEST's code.Don't try copy or use GUEST's code since it won't produce a useful score or MIDI file. - Mark |

Even pages that tout themselves as tabs are chords only. Can anyone help? sheet music, abc's, midis, whatever. Thanks, sj I moved this message here from another thread on the same topic. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Kentucky Waltz From: Mark Clark Date: 24 Jun 01 - 05:27 PM I think you'll find it pleasing to add an F6 in the second to last line as follows:
And I long once [F6] more for [C] your em-[A7] brace... Assuming you're using a full 6-string thumbed F and your little finger is therefore unused, add the D note by placing your little finger on the second string, third fret to form F6. Try it, you'll like it. - Mark
