♫ Verse 1:
G                                     C
Late at night when all the stars are gone
                      G         D
an old man sweeps the auditorium
      G                                C
He'll close his eyes and sing into his broom
                      D             G     D
from an empty stage into an empty room
        G                              C
He sold everything he owned to come to town
                          G                      D
but he had to take this job when the chips were down
         G                                    C
now he's sweeping up the biggest show in history
                        D         G       D/F#
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry

♫ Chorus:
    Em                              C
Now every night he sings when they leave
     G                                  D
on a stage where he always dreamed he'd be
        G                                 C
He puts on the greatest show you'll never see
                        D            G
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry

C  D   G

♫ Verse 2:
        G                                        C
Well he writes and tells his folks he's doing fine
                           G             D
that he expects to hit the big one anytime
       G                                     C
But he don't let on, he's sleeping in the streets
                        D            G
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry

♫ Chorus:
    Em                              C
Now every night he sings when they leave
     G                                  D
on a stage where he always dreamed he'd be
        G                                 C
He puts on the greatest show you'll never see
                    D             G    D/F#
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
   Em                                  C
If they would only listen, they would know
            G                                  D
they'd say "man, this guy should be on the radio"
       G                                     C
But at night when they go home, he sings for free
                        D           G  D/F# Em
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
    C              D             G  D/F# Em D
the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
         C              D             G
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
