Mama's Opry Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
She [G]grew up plain and
simple in a [C]farming town
[D]Her daddy played the fiddle
and use to do the calling
When they [G]had hoedowns
[Em]She said the neighbors would come
And they'd move all my grandma's
[C]furniture 'round
And there'd be twenty or more there
on the old wooden floor
[D]Dancing to a country sound

[Verse 2]
[G]The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers
played her [C]fa vorite songs
And on Sat[D]urday nights
there was a radio show
And [G]she would sing along
And I'll [A]never forget her face when
she [C]revealed to me
That she'd [G]dreamed about singing
[D]at The Grand Ol' Opry
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Her [G]eyes, oh how they sparkled
when she [C]sang those songs
While she was [D]hanging the clothes on the line
I was a kid just a hum[G]ming along
Well, I'd be play[Em]ing in the grass,
To her what might of seemed ob[C]liviously
But there ain't no doubt about it,
[D]she sure made her mark on me

[Verse 4]
She [G]played old gospel records
on the [C]phonograph
[D]She turned them up loud
and we'd sing along
But [G]those days have passed
Just [A]now that I am older it oc[C]curs to me
That I was [G]singing in the
[D]grandest opry
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
And we [G]sang Sweet Rose of Sharon,
[C]Abide With Me
'til I [D]ride The Gospel Ship
to Heaven's [G]Jubilee
And In [Em]That Great Triumphant
Morning my [C]soul will be free
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted
when my sa[D]vior's face I see
So I Don't [G]Want to Get Adjusted
to This [C]World below
But I [D]know He'll [A]Pi lot [D]Me
'til 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 Opry

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
And we [G]sang Sweet Rose of Sharon,
[C]Abide With Me
'til I [D]ride The Gospel Ship
to Heaven's [G]Jubilee
And In That [Em]Great Triumphant
Morning my [C]soul will be free
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted
when my sa[D]vior's face I see
So I Don't [G]Want to Get Adjusted
to This [C]World below
But I [D]know He'll Pilot Me
'til 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 Opry

[Outro 1]
