Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
There's (C major) a building down in Nashville, (G major)
Tennessee.
It's the old rivalry,
home of the Grand (C major) Ole Lottery.
Back when you hear that familiar phrase,
(F major) Howdy, Miss Minnie Pearl
It's (G major) brought laughter to people
all over (C major) this old world
Why, if its walls could talk,
what a (G major) story could be told
Of its memories of sadness
and happiness (C major) it holds
It's the stage where the greatest stars
(F major) are always heard
Like (G major) Roy Aiken singing The
(C major) Great Speckled Bird
You know so many songs that are sung
(G major) there are so true
Like Ernest Tubbs singing
Walking the Floor (C major) Over You
Yes, at the old Ryman
you'll hear (F major) so many different sounds
(G major) Like Earl Scruggs playing
his Foggy (C major) Mountain Breakdown
I know there's big modern building (G major) s
and some that are small
But to me the old Ryman
is the (C major) greatest of them all
No other building has ever
filled so (F major) many dreams
Of stars (G major) who come on stage
amidst laughter (C major) and screams
It seems it's that way almost every (G major) time
Like when Porter Wagner does
Satisfied (C major) Mind (G major) (C major)
Thanks to the man above
to let (F major) country music expand,
to (G major) be blessed with great stars
like (C major) Chet Hedges,
and other great stars
who have departed (G major) from this life.
We'll always remember
Hank Williams singing
(C major) I Saw the Light, Rod Brasfield, Patsy Cline,
(F major) and gentlemen Jim Reeves,
Jack (G major) Englund, Hawkshaw Hawkins,
we'll (C major) never forget these.
And our late friend, Cowboy Copus,
(G major) doing Alabama.
They gave their all for country music.
May we (C major) never let them down.
Like these stars mentioned,
they've made (F major) country music so great.
(G major) To all of them, we proudly (C major) congratulate.
And to you, old Ryman,
from our music, (G major) you've never grown.
It's just a small way of saying thanks.
(C major) That's why this story was wrote.
