Biography:
Bill Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) developed the style of country music known as bluegrass, which takes its name from his band, the "Blue Grass Boys," named for his home state of Kentucky. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. He is often referred to as "the father of bluegrass."
In the rock (and roll) community, Bill Monroe may be best known via one of Elvis Presley's earliest recordings at Sun Records, that of Monroe's 'Blue Moon of Kentucky'.

Little Cabin Home On The Hill
Recorded by Bill Monroe
written by Lester Flatt and Bill Monroe
[Verse]
G C G
Tonight I'm alone without you my dear
Em A7 D7
Its seems there's a longing for you still
G C G
All I have to do is sit alone and cry
Em D7 G
In our little cabin home on the hill
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Oh someone has taken you from me
Em A7 D7
And left me here all alone
G C G
Just listen to the rain beyond my window pane
Em D7 G
In our little cabin home on the hill
[Verse]
C G
I hope you are happy tonight as you are
Em A7 D7
For in my heart there's a longing for you still
G C G
I'll just keep it there so I won't be alone
Em D7 G
In our little cabin home on the hill
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Oh someone has taken you from me
Em A7 D7
And left me here all alone
G C G
Just listen to the rain beyond my window pane
Em D7 G
In our little cabin home on the hill
[Verse]
C G
And when you have come to the end of your way
Em A7 D7
And find there's no more happiness for you
G C G
Just let your thoughts turn back once more if you will
Em D7 G
To our little cabin home on the hill
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Oh someone has taken you from me
Em A7 D7
And left me here all alone
G C G
Just listen to the rain beyond my window pane
