Verse 1
(Wah, wah, wah, (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) waaahhhh)
I dreamed I was (F sharp major) there (G major) (D major)
in hillbilly heaven
{Oh what a (A major) beautiful (D major) sight}
Spoken:
Last night I dreamed I went to hill (F sharp minor) billy heaven. And
you know (G major) who greeted me at the gate? (D major) The ole
cowboy- philosopher himself, (A major) Will Rogers. He said (D major) to me,
he said "Tex, the Big Boss of the riders
up here has asked me to kinda show you around. (F sharp minor)
Now, over yonder are (G major) a couple of your ole compadres." (D major)
My, was I glad to see (A major) them, Carson Robison and
the (D major) Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers.
I dreamed I was (F sharp major) there (F sharp minor) in (G major)
hillbilly (D major) heaven
{Oh what (A major) a beautiful (D major) sight}
Spoken:
He introduced me to Wiley Post,
(F sharp minor) and he showed (F sharp major) me the Hall of Fame (G major) with all the gold guitars (D major) and fiddles
hanging on the walls. Then he said, "Tex, step over this (A major) way,
there are two more of your friends I know
(D major) you'll want to see, they're waitin' for you." There they were
standin' side (F sharp minor) by side and smilin' (G major) at me- -
Hank Willi (D major) ams and Johnny Horton. (A major) (D major)
I met all the (F sharp major) stars (F sharp minor) (G major)
in hillbilly heaven (D major)
{Oh what a (A major) (D major) star- studded night}
Spoken:
Then I asked him who else (F sharp minor) do you expect (F sharp major) in the next, (G major) uh,
say a hundred years? (D major) He handed me a large book
covered with star dust. (A major) Will (D major) called it the Big Tally Book.
In it were many names and each name was branded (A major)
(D major) in pure gold. I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley,
Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry,
Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, (A major) Tenness (D major) ee Ernie, (A major) Jimmy Dean,
Andy (D major) Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter (Whaaaatttt???)
Tex Ritter? Oh, well, that's when I woke up,
and I'm sorry (D major) I did, because
I (D major) dreamed I was (F sharp minor) there (F sharp major) in
(G major) hillbilly (D major) heaven
{Oh what a (A major) beautiful sight}
(A major) (D major)
