Mamas Opry

G   D   G

[Verse 1]
    G                             
She grew up plain and simple in a 
C
farming town.
     D                             
Her daddy played the fiddle and 
                              G
used to do the calling when they had
 hoedowns.
              Em                 
She says the neighbors would come 
and they'd move all my grandma's 
  C
furniture 'round.
               C                   
And there'd be twenty or more there
                         D
 on the old wooden floor dancin' to 
a country sound.
    G                              
The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers 
      C
played her favourite songs.
        D                          
And on Saturday nights there was a 
                        G
radio show and she would sing along.
         A                         
And I'll never forget her face when
        C
 she revealed to me,
            G                      
That she'd dreamed about singing at
       D          G
 The Grand Old Opry.

[Verse 2]
G                                 
Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled 
        C
when she sang those songs.
              D                    
While she was hanging the clothes 
                              G
on the line, I was a kid just a 
hummin' along.

              Em                   
Well, I'd be playing in the grass, 
                          C
to her, what might be, obliviously,
             C                     
But there ain't no doubt about it: 
     D
she sure made her mark on me.
             G                     
AnD she played old gospel records 
      C
on the phonograph.
    D                           
She turned them up loud and we'd 
                       G
sing along, but those days have 
passed.
     A                        C
Just now that I am older it occurs 
to me,
             G            D       
That I was singing in the grandest
   G
 opry.

[Chorus]
D           G                     
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon, 
 C
Abide With Me,
       D                      
'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to 
        G
Heaven's Jubilee.
            Em                     
And In That Great Triumphant 
     C
Morning my soul will be free,
       C                           
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when 
   D
my Saviour's face I see.
           G                       
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to 
     C
This World below,
      D                          
But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it 
       G
comes time to go.
    A                              
Oh, nothing on this earth is half 
  C
as dear to me,
        G          D        G
As the sound of my Mama's Opry

[Chorus]
D           G                     
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon, 
 C
Abide With Me,
       D                      
'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to 
        G
Heaven's Jubilee.
            Em                     
And In That Great Triumphant 
     C
Morning my soul will be free,
       C                           
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when 
   D
my Saviour's face I see.
           G                       
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to 
     C
This World below,
      D                          
But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it 
       G
comes time to go.
    A                              
Oh, nothing on this earth is half 
  C
as dear to me,
        G          D        G
As the sound of my Mama's Opry
