Mama's Opry

Key: Bb         (Capo 3rd fret and 
play in G)

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.
               D                   
And there'd be twenty or more there
 on the old wooden floor dancin' to 
 G
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.
         Em                        
And I'll never forget her face when
        C
 she revealed to me,
                         D         
That she'd dreamed about singing at
               G
 The Grand Ol' Opry.

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, 
to her, what might've seemed, 
 C
obliviously,
          D                        
But there ain't no doubt about it: 
                  G
she sure made her mark on me.



        G                          
An' 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.
     Em                     C
Just now that I am older it occurs 
to me,
           D                       
That I was singing in the grandest 
  G
opry.

CHORUS:
                    G            
        And we sang Sweet Rose of 
         C
Sharon, Abide With Me,
               D                   
        'Til I ride The Gospel Ship
             G
 to Heaven's Jubilee.
               Em                  
        And In That Great 
             C
Triumphant Morning my soul will be 
free,
               D              
        And My Burdens Will Be 
                                 G
Lifted when my Saviour's face I see.

                    G         
        So I Don't Want to Get 
            C
Adjusted to This World below,
               D                 
        But I know He'll Pilot Me 
               G
'til it comes time to go.
               Em                  
        Oh, nothing on this earth 
             C
is half as dear to me,
                           D      
        As the sound of my Mama's 
G
Opry
