                                           [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHer daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns.[/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]Em[/ch]

                  [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThat she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Old Opry.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]

[ch]G[/ch]                           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnD she played old gospel records on the phonograph.[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                                                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe
