Old time country halls

Verse 1:
   D MajorD          G+G      D MajorD
As I pick up my guitar to sing another song
                    E MajorE          A augmentedA
I hear the walls of this old hall-you?ve done this thing too long
   D MajorD                             G+G
You know you?ve been around for years, I guess you?ve shown us all
            D MajorD         G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall.

Verse 2:
  D MajorD                 G+G        D MajorD
I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar
                 E MajorE       A augmentedA
De silvers all star cavalcade and Dante was the star
  D MajorD                     G+G
He taught me lots about the game, today I understand
         D MajorD       G+G  A augmentedA    D MajorD
He was a great magician and he was a fine old man

Chorus:
   A augmentedA                 G+G      D MajorD
I?m a howlin cattle camp crooner, I?m an old time dinosaur
   G+G          D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Hey. Let me sing where the rafaters ring, in an old time country hall.

Verse 3:
  D MajorD                   G+G        D MajorD
I?ve been on the road for forty years and Dante could equal that
                      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And you?ll find his faded posters still in some halls way out back
 D MajorD                         G+G
I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall
            D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
The shows I?ve had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls.

Verse 4:
     D MajorD                 G+G         D MajorD
Take the old Town hall Kalgoorlie with it?s old time charm and grace
                 E MajorE      A augmentedA
And your multi-million complexes never will replace
   D MajorD                          G+G
All glass and steel and concrete, some large and some too small
             D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Oh let me sing where the rafters ring in the old time country halls.

Chorus:
  A augmentedA                  G+G       D MajorD
I?m howlin cattle camp crooner, I?m an old time dinosaur
   G+G          D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring, in an old time country hall
  A augmentedA                  G+G       D MajorD
I?m holing cattle camp crooner, I?m an old time dinosaur
   G+G          D MajorD         G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Hey let me sing where the rafters ring, in an old time country hall

    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
In an old time country hall
    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
In an old time country hall.
