# COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME Recorded by Hank Locklin IF PLAYED IN KEY OF G; chords are: [G] I was roamin' 'round in Nashville, in the state of Tennessee For I [D7] love that country music, it's as soulful [C] as can [G] be I have gathered their records, for I cherish every name So I [D7] found myself a-standing in the Country Hall Of [G] Fame [G] My heart beats somewhat faster as I walk in thru the door For I [D7] heard the sound of voices I had often [C] heard be-[G]-fore A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye Now I'll [D7] tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see [G] why CHANGE TO KEY OF E: [E] Jimmie Rodger's railroad letters and his faithful old guitar I could [B7] hear that old 'Blue Yodel' comin' from some-[A]-where a-[E]-far Roy Acuff - in Bronze likeness, with the great Fred Rose - his friend And I [B7] heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the [E] bend [E] The guitar of Eddy Arnold - memories of Cattle Call Chet [B7] Atkins will be with him, 'When The Works All [A] Done This [E] Fall' From the Autoharp of Maybelle - 'Wildwood Flower' seemed to ring Riley [B7] Puckett and Gid Tanner, how they all could pick and [E] sing CHANGE TO KEY OF A: [A] I could hear George Hay announcin', as I stood there in the room I could [E7] hear Tex Ritter singin' his classic [D] song - 'High [A] Noon' Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps 'Movin' On' May the [E7] Lord bless those still livin' and the ones who join His [A] throne [A] Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins; Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline Rod [E7] Brasfield, Ira Louvin; these stars will [D] always [A] shine Ernest Tubb, the great Red Foley and Hank Williams - bless his name Tho' some are [E7] gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall Of [D] Fame [A] Note.
