Mama's Opry chords and lyrics - EVE GOLDBERG

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, she grew up plain and simple
in [C]a farm in town.
Her [D]daddy played the fiddle
and used to do the calling
when they [G]had hoedowns.
She said the [Em]neighbors would come
and they'd move all my grandma's
[C]furniture around.
There'd be twenty or more,
they're on an old wooden floor,
[D]dancing to a country sound.
The [G]Carters and Jimmy Rogers
played her fa[C]vorite songs.
And on [D]Saturday nights
there was a radio show
and she would [G]sing along
And I'll [A]never forget her face
when she revealed to [C]me
That [G]she dreamed about singing
at the [D]Grand Ole [G]Opry
Her eyes, how they'd sparkle
when [C]she sang those songs
Well she was [D]hanging
the clothes on the lawn,
I was a kid just [G]a -humming along
I'd be play[Em]ing in the grass to her
what might have seemed ob[C]liviously
But there ain't no doubt about it,
she sure [D]made a mark on me
She played [G]old gospel records
on [C]the phonograph
She'd [D]turn them up loud
and we'd sing along
with those [G]days that passed
Just [A]now that I am older, it occurs to [C]me
I was [G]singing in [D]the grandest opera [G]ring
And we sang, sweet rose you'd share
and abide [C]with me
Till I [D]ride that gospel ship
to heaven's [G]jubilee
In that [Em]great triumphant morning
my [C]soul will be free
And my burdens will be lifted
when my [D]Savior's face I see
I don't [G]want to get adjusted
to this [C]world below
And I know [D]He'll pilot me
till it comes [G]time to go
Oh, [A]nothing on this earth
is half as [C]dear to me
As the [G]sound of my [D]mama's opera [G]rings[C]
[D][G][Em]
[C][D][G]
[C][D][G][A]
[C][G][D][G]
And we sang, Sweet Rose of Sharon,
abide [C]with me
Till I [D]ride that gospel ship
to heaven's [G]jubilee
In [Em]that great triumphant morning
my soul [C]will be free
And my burdens will be lifted
when my [D]Sa vior's face I see
So I don't [G]want to get adjusted
to this [C]world below
And I know [D]He'll pilot me
till it comes [G]time to go
Oh, [A]nothing on this earth
is half as [C]dear to me
As [G]the sound of my [D]mama's oper[G]in'
No, [A]nothing on this earth
is half as [C]dear to me
As [G]the sound of my [D]momma's off -the [G]-reed
