Chords for Jackie DeShannon; Johnny Cash - Grand Ole Opry Rememberance

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[G] This old house gave us great music, [C] this old house gave us great star.
[D] Hear the echo in the rafters [C] of folks banjos [G] and guitars.
Hear a million songs resounding [C] from the walls that heard it all.
[D] Country music is the pillar this old house will [G] never fall.
That's right, Jackie.
This old house has been [C] standing a long time.
It was built [D] back in the 1800s as a church first.
[C] Had [G] some great preaching in here as well as music.
Billy Sunday, a lot of big [C] evangelists.
But 1941 came [D] along and the Grand Ole Opry was 16 years old when they moved into here in 41.
And since [G] 41, there's been some great country music talent right here on [Dm] this stage.
I know, John.
And every time [G] I think of the Grand Ole Opry, I remember that great artist, Patsy Cline.
[C]
Oh, I _ _ [F] fall _ [G] to _ pieces _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ each _ [G] time I see you [C] _ _ again. _
[C] _ _ _ Oh, I _
[F] fall _ _ [G] to _ _ pieces.
_ You [F] are free _
[Dm] _ [G] and I fall to pieces.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] You're tearing me up, too.
Patsy Cline will always be remembered [G] and another great Opry favorite.
Mine is Cowboy Coppola as he sang this song.
Well, I [E] went to a turkey roast down the street. _ _ _
[A] _ _ And [D] I'm going back to [G] Alabama.
_ _ [E] Hey, you're talking about people having a wheel of time, eating up a chicken and a drinking that wine.
[A] I'm on my way.
[D] And I'm going back _ [G] to Alabama. _
_ I _ [C] ain't going to leave this house no longer.
[G] Ain't going to lose this history.
[D] Ain't got time for thank you, folks.
Ain't [G] got time for misery.
When [C] I hear the music go, and I [G] hear the voices sing,
[D] Ain't going to lose this inspiration that this Grand Ole [G] Building brings.
_ [Gm] You know, John, [C] the Grand Ole Opry has turned [F] out a lot of stars.
And I guess you can say that Hank [C] Williams is one of the biggest.
_ [F] And this is a song that's still echoing throughout this building.
_ Hey, hey, good-looking,
Oh, [Bb] it's perfect,
[G] Well, [C] I'm knocking [F] off the [D] knees.
_ [F] Hey, hey, sweet baby,
Well, don't you think maybe
[G] We can find [C] ourselves a brand [F] new recipe. _ _
Yeah!
_ _ _ _ _ Hey, you know, speaking of stars,
I can [C] see Red Foley standing [F] over there in the spotlight now,
[Dm] singing a song that [F] I won't ever forget. _ _
_ Have you ever passed a corner of Portland, Grand Ole?
Where the people _ _ [Bb] _ gather round and they [Fm] clap their hands.
[F] He's a great big bundle of joy.
He [C] pops a boogie-woogie [Bb] rag,
The Chattanooga Shoe [F] Shine Boy.
Yeah, [G] well, we won't forget Red Foley,
Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Cowboy Copus,
and we won't forget this old house.
_ [C] Ain't going to leave this house no longer,
Ain't [G] going to lose this inspiration.
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] I hear those voices sing,
[D] Ain't going to lose this inspiration that this Grand [G] Ole Building brings.
Ain't [D] going to lose this inspiration that this Grand [G] Ole Building [C] brings.
