[G] [D]
[Em] [G] [D]
Listen people, [Bm] listen, [A] I'm gonna sing you [G] a song
[F] About a man who [G] lived good, [A] but didn't live too long
[D] He was born in [Bm] Macon, Georgia, [A] a poor boy without [G] a dime
[F] He found his way [G] to Memphis, [A] singing these arms [D] of mine
Odin, [C#m]
[Bm] Odin's spreading was [D] his name
[G] Without his soul [F] for singing, [Em] his whole world won't be [A] the same
[D] Now he traveled on [Bm] the Frisco,
[A] New York and [G] abroad
[F] Everywhere he [G] sang, [A] the people would applaud
[D] One day he [Bm] left Georgia,
[A] Wisconsin [G] bound
[F] But he didn't get [G] to sing that night, the plane he was in [D] went down
Odin, [C#m] [C#m]
[Bm] Odin's spreading was [D] his name
[G] Without his soul [F] for singing, [E] his whole world won't be the same
[A]
He [D] was a soul [Bm] music singer,
[A] the king of the [G] Memphis sound
[F] It makes me feel [G] so sad, cause now he ain't around
[D] He died with [Bm] his guitar, [A] close to [G] his hands
[F] But his soul lives [G] on today, in the hearts of a million [D] fans
Odin, [C#m]
[Bm] Odin's spreading was [D] his name
[G] Without his soul [F] for singing, [E] his whole world won't be [A] the same
[D] Odin, [C#m]
[Bm] Odin's spreading was [D] his name
[G] His picture ought to [F] be hung [E] in the music hall [D] of fame
Odin, [C#m]
he [Bm] was known as [A] Big O
[D] Odin, [C#m]
[Bm] we gonna miss [A] him so
