John Hartford – Tear Down The Grand Ole Opry lyrics

They're gonna tear down the grand old opry
F#m B
They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song
E A
They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry
F#m B E A E A
Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on



E
Well there were campers
A
And there were busses
F#m B
Parked all around, where there used to be a door
E
But that place
A
Called the grand ole opry
F#m
It just ain't there
B E A E A
Just ain't there no more

CHORUS

A C E
Right across from the wax museum they used to line up around the block
A C E
From east Tennessee and back down home again
E G B
All of a sudden there's nothing to do where there once was an awful lot
E G B
Broad Street will never be the same


I've been in love with the grand ole opry

And I guess I have now for a good many years
