Chords for Jeannie Seely and Other Female Grand Ole Opry Members on the Opry's 60th Anniversary in 1985

Behind _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ every great country song, there stands a woman that's either by her, for her, or about her.
Tonight I'd like to present some very special women.
My sisters of the Grand Ole Opry.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ Can be kisses,
_ _ _ _ [C] baked _ _ _ _ through. _ _ _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ Can be [G] _ kisses,
_ _ wrapped in [C]
baked _ _ [Db] _ _ [G] through. _
_ [D] That line too deep. _ _
[A] _ [Dm] Love to [D] saddle the sheep,
saddle the sheep.
Still I,
_ _ [G] leapt in pillows to cry on _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ me. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
No one [Bm] _ [A] _ set me [D] free.
_ [G] You play up _ _ for me, see my sister out. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] That fair God full of you dear
and I am really touched with all this [G] tenderness. _ _ _
_ _ But as the women are as proficient things
we know that men are born to make [C] you so shy.
_ _ _ _ [D] Now that's more than _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] a_
[Bb] Why does the sun [F] go on shining? _ _ _
[Gm] _ Does the sea [Dm] rush to shore? _ _
_ [Cm] Don't they know it's the end of the [G] world?
[Cm] How you don't love me [C] anymore?
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] Why does my heart go on beating?
_ _ _ [Gm] Why do these eyes of [Dm] mine cry?
_ _ [Cm] _ Don't they know [Dm] it's the end of the [G] world?
[Cm] The end is [F] when you say [Bb] goodbye
[Fm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] Money's promised, [F] but you lie
Battery's partying, _ [C] something's right
Something's [F] wrong, you and I
[C] Love's gone wrong, but it used to be right
And I can keep slipping away
Slowly, slowly slipping away
It'll [F] be gone in a few more days
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping [C] away
If we don't stop this love of ours from slipping away
[G] _ _ [E] _
[Gbm] And _ [A] _ _ this light, a torch, each [B] time you take me
[B] _ _ _ [Dbm] [D] But look, and [E] your eye _ _ _ [A] falls me apart
_ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ You [E] don't let me _ sleep
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ Big [A] Midnight Special, shine your light [E] on me
Big [B] Midnight Special, shine your ever [E]-loving light on me
Woke up [A] this morning, heard the whistle [E] blow
The jams had [B] come, boy, it's time to go
Big [A] Midnight Special, shine your light [E] on me
Big Midnight [B] Special, shine your ever-loving light on me
[D] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] Once a day, _ _ all [Bb] day long
Once _ _ [C] a _ _ night, from dusk [F] till dawn _
The only time
I _ wish [Bb] you a _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ great deal tonight, a goodbye
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ The [F] tune about the wild
[Bb] To _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the words [D] you are [Eb]
saying
_ _ It brings [F] memories when I was a [Bb] trusting wife _ _
It was with God _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
we sang _ _ _ your [Bb] _ song
Too [A] many _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] will say [Eb] it was _ _ _ _ [F] me, a good girl to [Bb] go wrong
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
