_ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ Last night I dreamed I went to [A] country music heaven.
And you know who greeted me [Bb] at the gate?
The old blue yodeler [F] himself, Jimmy Rogers.
[Dm] And he said to me, he said, [D] Bill, they've kind of asked me to show you [G] around up here.
[C] And right over there's some of your old compadres.
Man, was I [F] glad to see them.
There was Ernest [A] Tunn, Marty Robbins, Red [Bb] Foley, _ Lefty Frazell, [F] and Tennessee Ernie [Bb] Ford.

I [F] dreamed I was [E] there [A] _
[Bb] in country music [F] heaven. _
_ Oh, what [C] a _ [F] beautiful sight.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] He introduced me to Hank Williams, [A] and we saw Elvis.
And then he showed [Bb] me the Hall of Fame with all the gold [F] guitars and fiddles hanging on the wall.
[Dm] And then he said, step over this way.
[G] There's some more of your friends I know you'll want to see.
[C] They're waiting for you.
And there they were, standing [F] side by side, smiling at me.
[A] Tex Ritter, [Bb] Johnny Horton, _ George [F] Morgan, Dottie West, and [Bb] Keith Whitley.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] And then he said, we've got a big show [A] up here tonight, and we've saved you a seat on [Bb] the front row.
Oh, and I sat [F] and watched and listened as Grant Turner [Dm] introduced an all-star lineup like none [G] I'd ever seen.

I [F] saw all the [Em] _ [A] stars [Bb] in country music [F] heaven. _
_ Oh, what a [C] star _
[F] studded night.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] And then I asked him who else he [B] expected within the next, oh, say, hundred [C] years.
Jimmy handed me a large book [G] covered with stardust.
He [Em] called it the Big Tally Book.
[A] In it were many names, and each [Cm] name was branded in pure gold.
[D] I began to read some of them as I turned [G] the pages.
Roy Acuff, [B] _ Minnie Pearl, _ [C] Eddie Arnold, [G] Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, _ Randy Travis,
[C] Garth Brooks, Reba McIntyre, Whispering Bill [Db] Anderson, _ _ Whispering Bill Anderson.

[Am] Oh, what a [D] _ beautiful [G] sight.
