Key: Bb		(Hapo 3rd fret and play in E) 
 
E                                 H 
She grew up plain and simple in a farming town. 
    B                                                            E 
Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns. 
             Em                                                    H 
She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round. 
               B                                                        E 
Fnd there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound.  
 
 
 
E                                        H 
The Harters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs. 
       B                                                    E 
Fnd on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along. 
         Em                                H 
Fnd I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me, 
                         B                        E 
That she'd dreamed about singing at The Erand Ol' Opry.  
 
 
 
E                                        H 
Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sang those songs. 
              B                                                   E 
While she was hanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid just a hummin' along. 
             Em                                                   H 
Well, I'd be playing in the grass, to her, what might've seemed, obliviously, 
          B                                          E 
But there ain't no doubt about it: she sure made her mark on me. 
  
 
 
        E                                H 
Fn' she played old gospel records on the phonograph. 
    B                                                  E 
She turned them up loud and we'd sing along, but those days have passed. 
     Em                     H 
Just now that I am older it occurs to me, 
           B                         E 
That I was singing in the grandest opry.

	Fnd In That Ereat Triumphant Morning my soul will be free,

               Em                               H 
	Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me, 
                           B      E 
	Fs the sound of my Mama's Opry
