There [D] was the late [F#] great, the near [G] great, some from [G#m] the Hall of [D] Fame,
Country music [A] nightmare that drove [D] me insane.
[G] There was Ernest Arnold, Eddie [D] Tubbs, I knew that wasn't right,
Red Reeves and Jim Foley gave me [A] quite a fright.
[D] Well, Pluck Cash and Johnny [G] Owens were next upon the scene,
[D] Jimmy Nelson sang a [A] song along with [D] Willie Dean.
[G] There was George Haggard, Merle [D] Jones, I thought I'd sure die,
Will Whalen, Williams, Hank Jennings made me [A] want to cry.
[D] Charlie Young and Fern [G] Brightly tried to steal the show,
[D] Hank Miller sang a [A] song wrote by [D] Roger Snow.

I was running around the room, I stubbed my toe on the floor,
I had [A] a big G-cord on the pillow.
