I was roaming around in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
D7 C G
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be
I have gathered their records for I cherish every name
D7 G
So I found myself a-standing in the Country Hall Of Fame
My heart beats somewhat faster as I walk in thru the door
D7 C G
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before
A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye
D7 G
Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why
Jimmie Rodger's railroad letters and his faithful old guitar
D7 C G
I could hear that old Blue Yodel coming from somewhere afar
Roy Acuff in Bronze likeness with the great Fred Rose his friend
D7 G
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend
The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call
D7 C G
Chet Atkins will be with him When The Works All Done This Fall
From the Autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seemed to ring
D7 G
Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner how they all could pick and sing
I could hear George Hay announcing as I stood there in the room
D7 C G
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Moving On
D7 G
May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who join His throne
Cowboy Copas Hawkshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline
D7 C G
Rod Brasfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine
Ernest Tubb the great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name
D7 C
Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall Of Fame
