Ballad Of The Grand Ole Opry chords by George Morgan

Chords with lyrics

C majorC               FF
As the lights were turned off and the curtain was closed

  C majorC     D7D7       G7G7
And all of the songs had been sung

    C majorC       FF
At the Grand Ole Opry I sat there and wondered

C majorC           G7G7    C majorC
How this great country show had begun


              FF
Did the Great One above us gather some tears

   C majorC       D7D7         G7G7
With some heartache He took from life?s page

  C majorC        FF
And mix it together with laughter and joy

  C majorC      G7G7    C majorC
And sprinkle it over the stage

             FF
Did He speak to the heart of all the great stars

  C majorC        D7D7      G7G7
Did He help them put soul in their songs

  C majorC        FF
And maybe He guided their foot steps in life

  C majorC        G7G7     C majorC
And showed them just where they belong


              FF
Could it be He was thinking one Saturday night

  C majorC     D7D7        G7G7
Of something that we all could share

  C majorC          FF
So He started the Opry for you and for me

  C majorC         G7G7     C majorC
And He put this great show on the air

                 FF
Did He know there?d be happiness there on the stage

  C majorC         D7D7     G7G7
Did He know men would cry in the wings

  C majorC             FF
Is He pleased with the smiles on the faces of thousands

  C majorC        G7G7      C majorC
As each star steps out there and sings


            FF
And each Saturday night over forty some years

   C majorC         D7D7       G7G7
Folks have lined up for blocks just to see

  C majorC            FF
How the Great One has played the best show in the land

    C majorC      G7G7     C majorC
