Chords for Hank Locklin - Country Music Hall of Fame

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ was roaming around in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
_ For [D] I love that country music, it's as soulful [C] as can [G] be
I have gay _ _ _ records, for I cherish every name
So I [D] found myself a-standing in the country hall [G] of fame
My heart beat somewhat faster as I walked in through the door
For [D] I heard the sound of voices I had often [C] heard [G] before
_ A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye
_ [D] I'll tell you what I saw there, and I'm sure that you'll [G] see why
_ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ Jimmy _ Rogers, Railroad Leonard, and his fateful old guitar
I [B] could hear that old blue yodel coming from [A] somewhere [E] _ afar
Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with the great Fred Rose, his friend
And [B] I heard that Wabash _ Cannonball somewhere around the [E] bend
The guitar of Eddie Arnold, _ memories of cattle call
Chet [B] Atkins will be with him when the work's [A] all done [E] this fall
From the auto harp of Maybell, wildwood flowers seem to ring
Riley [B] Puckett and Gid Tanner, how they all could pick [E] and sing
_ [A] I _ _ _ _ _ could hear George Hay announcing as I stood there in the room
I [E] could hear Tex Ritter _ singing this [D] classic song [A] I knew
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there, and Hank Snow keeps moving on
May [E] the Lord bless those still living and the ones who's joined [A] his throne
Have our co-hosts Hawkshaw Hawkins, Gentleman Jim, and Patsy Cline
_ [E] Rod Bradsfield, Ira _ Lewton, these stars [D] will [A] always shine
_ Ernest Tubb, the great red boy, and Hank Williams, bless his name
Though some [E] are gone, they'll live forever in the country hall [D] of fame _ _ _ _ _ _
