Country Hall Of Fame

C
I was roaming around in Nashville in the state of Tennessee

      G7                              F              C
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be


I have gathered their records for I cherish every name

     G7                                             C
So I found myself a-standing in the Country Hall Of Fame



My heart beats somewhat faster as I walk in thru the door

      G7                              F           C
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before


A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye

         G7                                                     C
Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why



Jimmie Rodger's railroad letters and his faithful old guitar

        G7                                   F         C
I could hear that old Blue Yodel coming from somewhere afar


Roy Acuff in Bronze likeness with the great Fred Rose his friend

      G7                                                C
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend



The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call

     G7                                         F         C
Chet Atkins will be with him When The Works All Done This Fall


From the Autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seemed to ring

      G7                                                 C
Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner how they all could pick and sing



I could hear George Hay announcing as I stood there in the room

        G7                                  F         C
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon


Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Moving On

        G7                                                      C
May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who join His throne



Cowboy Copas Hawkshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline

    G7                                    F      C
Rod Brasfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine


Ernest Tubb the great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name

                G7                                               F
Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall Of Fame
