Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
She grew up plain and
C 
simple in a farming town
D 
Her daddy played the fiddle
and use to do the calling
G 
When they had hoedowns
Em 
She said the neighbors would come
And they'd move all my grandma's
C 
furniture 'round
And there'd be twenty or more there
on the old wooden floor
D 
Dancing to a country sound

Verse 2
G 
The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers
C 
played her fa vorite songs
D 
And on Saturday nights
there was a radio show
G 
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
D 
at The Grand Ol' Opry
G 

Verse 3
D 
G 
Her eyes, oh how they sparkled
C 
when she sang those songs
D 
While she was hanging the clothes on the line
G 
I was a kid just a humming along
Em 
Well, I'd be playing in the grass,
C 
To her what might of seemed obliviously
But there ain't no doubt about it,
D 
she sure made her mark on me

Verse 4
G 
She played old gospel records
C 
on the phonograph
D 
She turned them up loud
and we'd sing along
G 
But those days have passed
A 
C 
Just now that I am older it occurs to me
G 
That I was singing in the
D 
grandest opry
G 

Verse 5
D 
G 
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon,
C 
Abide With Me
D 
'til I ride The Gospel Ship
G 
to Heaven's Jubilee
Em 
And In That Great Triumphant
C 
Morning my soul will be free
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted
D 
when my savior's face I see
G 
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted
C 
to This World below
D 
A 
D 
But I know He'll Pilot Me
G 
'til it comes time to go
A 
Oh, nothing on this earth
C 
is half as dear to me
G 
D 
As the sound of my Mama's Opry
