Key of Bb Capo on 3 G C She grew up plain and simple in a farming town. D G Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns. Em C She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round. D D And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound. G C The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs. D G And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along. Em C And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me, G D G That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Old Opry. G C Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sang those songs. D G While she was hanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid just a hummin' along. Em C Well, I'd be playing in the grass, to her, what might be, obliviously, C D But there ain't no doubt about it: she sure made her mark on me. G C AnD she played old gospel records on the phonograph. D G She turned them up loud and we'd sing along, but those days have passed. Em C Just now that I am older it occurs to me, G D G That I was singing in the grandest opry. D G C And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon, Abide With Me, D G 'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee. Em C And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free, Am D And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see. G C So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below, D G But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go. Em C Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me, G D G As the sound of my Mama's Opry D G C And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon, Abide With Me, D G 'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee. Em C And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free, C D And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see. G C So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below, D G But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go. Em C Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me, G D G As the sound of my Mama's Opry
