Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
Jimmy (C sharp major) Ro gers
was born (A flat major) (C sharp major) in Dixie (D major)
about thirty -five years ago
(A flat major) From (D major) poor but honest parents,
they (C sharp major) were (A flat major) proud of (E flat major) him (D major) we know
Ever (A flat major) (C sharp major) since he'd been a youngster,
(D major) he played his old gui (A flat major) tar. (D major) (E major)
(D major) And all the (D flat major) neighbors
predicted
(D major) he'd (D flat major) win (D major) fame wide and far.
When (A flat major) (D flat major) Jimmy grew up (D major) to manhood,
he went to Ten (D flat major) ness (D major) ee.
He worked on the Southern Railroad,
A (A flat major) reckless brakeman was he. (D major)
But his health began (A flat major) (D flat major) to fail (D major) him, (D flat major)
(D major) And he didn't (D flat major) last (D major) that long.
But (A flat major) he (D major) always wore a big smile,
And (A flat major) yodeled his brake (D major) man song. (C sharp major)
(D major) Then one (C sharp major) day he made some records,
(D major) And soon won (D flat major) lot (D major) s of fame,
Brought happiness to millions,
Folks (D flat major) id (D major) olized his name.
And (A flat major) (D flat major) then in every nation,
(D major) the voice of (D flat major) Jimmy was (D major) heard. (A flat major) (D major)
He sang (C sharp major) to cheer the millions, (D major)
sang (D flat major) sweeter (D major) than a bird.
Life is filled with sorrow,
each day (G flat major) de (D flat major) mand (D major) s (D flat major) a (D major) toll.
We can't predict tomorrow
for (A flat major) any living soul
(D major) So it was with (D flat major) Jimmy Ro (D major) gers
when (G flat major) angels called (D major) one day
They needed a songbird in heaven
so they (A flat major) took (D flat major) Jimmy (D major) away
There's (A flat major) (D flat major) an old guitar that's si (D major) lent
That Jimmy used (D major) (C sharp major) (D major) to play
But the magic touch of (D major) music
Is (C sharp major) (D major) missing there today
Jimmy's (A flat major) golden voice is up there
Where angels sing sweet refrain (D major) s
Where (D major) God in his mercy
for heaven in glory ever reigns.
