Ricky Skaggs – A Voice Still Rings True (Guitar)

F              Dm                   Bb
Back in the mountains of eastern Kentucky

      F      Bm              C
A young boy grew up with a dream

   F          Dm      Bb
Of playin' the Opry like all of his heroes

  F            Dm                   C
By the time that he learned how to walk he could

  F
sing

                 Dm                 Bb
Blessed with the voice of a wild mountain

     F           Dm           C
Quick with a kind word and a smile

     F              Dm           Bb
His songs about heartache, hard-livin' and true

      F               Dm        C            F
Came right from the pages of life's lonely miles

     Dm                           Bb
When his voice rang true, as his legend grew

F                  Dm           C
He was destined to shine like a star

                     Bb
But he never forgot who that he Was

        F       Dm       C                             F
Or the friends that he made with his old guitar

              Dm             Bb
He wasn't a stranger to the rain or its danger

F        Dm              C
Found on the highways of life

     F          Dm        Bb
Too soon it was over, the road it had ended

     F           Dm                 C
And all we were left with was the sound of

      F
goodbye

                 Dm              Bb
Somewhere in the mountains of eastern

       F        Dm         C
A young boy is dreaming tonight

   F           Dm               Bb
Of playin' the Opry like his fallen heroes

F                 Dm            C        F
Who's gone on to sing with the angels on high

        C                      Bb
And a voice still rings true from the man that we

            F          Dm        C
Though his leavin' we can't understand

                                       Bb
And A new star shines bright in the heavens

     F            Dm        C        F
Now that he's part of that great angel band
