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.
