Porter Wagner
(Capo 1st. Fret)

[Intro]
D G A D

D                                     G
We got silver eagles rollin' on the freeways every day
A                                      D
Singing country music, all across the USA
                                              G
But the wheels one day will fold up and our wings will take the curves
           A                                           D
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird

D                                            G 
Then the pearly gates will open and all the angel bands will ring
A                                                          D
Standing on that golden stage, we will hear the Great One sing.
                                  G   
We'll have a Grand Old Opry, like no one has ever heard
           A                                           D
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.

D                                            G
And when Gabriel blows his trumpet, all the bands will be in tune.
     A                                                           D
And when that golden curtain rises, there will be only standing room
                                     G
We'll entertain the Master, in his Grand Old Opry Church
           A                                          D
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.

D                                            G 
And when Gabriel blows his trumpet, all the bands will be in tune.
     A                                                           D
And when that golden curtain rises, there will be only standing room.
                                        G
Yes we'll entertain the Master, in his Grand Old Opry Church
           A                                           D
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.

                                        G
Yes we'll entertain the Master, in his Grand Old Opery Church
           A                                           D
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.
