Old Time Country Halls chords by Slim Dusty

Old time country halls

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

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

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

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

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

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

       G       A       D
In an old time country hall
       G       A       D
In an old time country hall.
