	        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 done this thing too long 
     D                                                         G 
You know you been around for years, I guess you shown us all 
                       D                  G       A       D 
I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall. 

Verse2 

   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 

      A                                  G           D 
I a howlin cattle camp crooner, I 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 been on the road for forty years and Dante could equal that 
                                           E                  A 
And you 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 had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls.

          D                                 G                 D 
Take the old Town hall Kalgoorlie with it 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.

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

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