The Original Carter Family's last performance in 1953 chords
Start Jamming...
Still a lot of show back there and I know you're waiting to hear them.
[Gb] So right now, we'd [Bb] like to bring out an act that knew the original, the one, the only, Jimmy Rogers.
You've heard their [Gb] records.
Those of you who can remember cranking your phonographs
and your old RCA Victor Victrolas [Bbm] with a little doggie on the front,
will all remember the original Carter family.
Let's bring them out, the original Carter family.
[Bb] I guess you people have finally forgotten the [Gb] old Carter family name.
You know, [Bb] many years ago, about 25 years ago, the Carter family and Jimmy Rogers
was two of the old first acts that started in Victor, Virginia.
I know I didn't meet Jimmy at the time he recorded, but I seen a letter just in a few days after we had recorded
and the Victor people said they figured they had found two good talents in this house.
And one was Jimmy Rogers and the other was the old Carter family.
So [E] this is the old Carter family that [Bb] you heard for many years past on [C] records
[Bb] and we've been off the air for a little while.
So in order to pay a [Bb] tribute to this good friend of ours that left us,
we've come down here to sing a number for you.
So the first [Gb] number we're going to sing to you,
while you are via hymn.
The title of it is Anchored in [G] Love.

And it's another hymn.
God Gave No Way to Rainbow [F] Sun.

I've got a home in Adirondacks, don't you see.
I've got a home in Adirondacks, don't you see.
I've got a home in Adirondacks, just beyond the mountain top.
I've been told [D] off the day just to [G] step up.
[D] [G]
For old Lazarus poor as I, don't you see.
For old Lazarus poor as I, don't you see.
For old Lazarus poor as I, when he died he had a hole in my heart.
