Country Hall Of Fame
by Hank Locklin
G
I was roaming around in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
D7 C G
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be
I have gathered their records for I cherish every name
D7 G
So I found myself a-standing in the Country Hall Of Fame
My heart beats somewhat faster as I walk in thru the door
D7 C G
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before
A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye
D7 GE
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
B7 A E
I could hear that old Blue Yodel coming from somewhere afar
Roy Acuff in Bronze likeness with the great Fred Rose his friend
B7 E
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend
The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call
B7 A E
Chet Atkins will be with him When The Works All Done This Fall
From the Autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seemed to ring
B7 EA
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
E7 D A
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Moving On
E7 A
May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who join His throne
Cowboy Copas Hawkshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline
E7 D A
Rod Brasfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine
Ernest Tubb the great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name
E7 D
Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall Of Fame
