Iris DeMent Mamas Opry Chords

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ She grew up playing the cymbal in a [Eb] farming town
[F] Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the [Bb] calling when they had hold downs
[Gm] She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my [Eb] grandma's furniture around
And there'd be twenty or more that were on a low wooden floor
[F] Dancing to a country [Bb] sound
The Carters and Jimmy Rogers played her [Eb] favorite songs
And [F] on Saturday nights there was a radio show [Bb] and she'd sing along
And [C] I'll never forget her face when she [Eb] revealed to me
That she [Bb] dreamed about singing [F] at the Grand Ole [Bb] Opry
_ [F] For [Bb] her I'd be playing in the grass for her it might have seemed obliviously
But she [Eb] was _ _ [F] hanging the clothes on the line I [Cm] was a kid [Bb] just a hummin' along
For I'd be [Gm] playing in the grass for her it might have seemed [Eb] obliviously
But there ain't no doubt about it [F] she sure made her mark on me
She [Bb] played old gospel records on [Eb] the phone graph
[F] She'd turn them up loud and we'd sing along [Bb] now those days are past
But [C] just now that I am older [Eb] it occurs to me
That I [Bb] was singing [F] in the grandest [Bb] oblery
[F] And we'd [Bb] sing sweet Rosa Sherriff [Eb] abide with me
[F] Till I ride the gospel ship to [Bb] heaven's jubilee
And [Gm] in that great trembling morning [Eb] my soul will be free
And my burdens will be lifted [F] when my Savior's face I see
I [Bb] don't want to get adjusted [Eb] to this world below
But [F] I know He'll find me when it [Bb] comes time to go
[C] Oh nothing on this earth is [Eb] half as dear to me
[Bb] As the sound [F] of my mama's [Bb] song of grief

[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ Sweet Rosa Sherriff [Eb] abide with me
Till [F] I ride the gospel ship to [Bb] heaven's jubilee
And in [Gm] that great trembling morning [Eb] my soul will be free
And my burdens will be lifted when [F] my Savior's face I see
I [Bb] don't want to get adjusted to [Eb] this world below
But [F] I know He'll find me when it [Bb] comes time to go
[C] Oh nothing on this earth is half [Eb] as dear to me
As [Bb] the sound of [F] my mama's song [Bb] of grief
