Porter Wagoner – Mother Church Of Country Music (Guitar)

    G
The old clock hands are movin'

   C
So soon it's time to go

D
We got time for one more song

  C                 G
Before we close the show

    G
Roy Acuff played his fiddle

     C
To a classic country tune

    D
And Minnie Pearl made us laugh

     C              G
With her new hat in blue

   G
So if you like your music

C
Country-fied like me

D
You'd be next to heaven

And surely you will find yourself a friend
