(Capo on 2)
[Intro]
Em F# G A
[Chorus]
I Ddreamed I was F#there in Ghillbilly Dheaven
Oh, what a Abeautiful Dsight!
And I Dmet all the F#stars in Ghillbilly Dheaven
Oh, what a Astar-spangled Dnight!
Last night, I Ddreamed I went to hillbilly F#heaven
And just as I arrived, the Gold curtain lifted
And there on Dstage stood, who else, but BmRoy Aikcuff and Tex EmRitter!
They said, "Well, how you Adoing? Come on in here, I know there's some folks you wanna see!
Over Dthere's our newest member, your old F#friend Conway Twitty! Say Ghello, darlin'!
And there's Dgentlemen Jim Reeves, singin' with Heaven's choir
Roger Miller, he just Agot here, he's making everybody Dlaugh
'Course you know Roy Orbison Acan sing just as high as anybody Dhere
And Ernest Tubb can F#sing as low!
And Patsy Cline, Gwell, bet she's the best singin' angel Dhere
And Dottie West is probably the prettiest
There's the old pea- Apicker, Ernie Ford, Jimmy Rodgers, DGeorge Morgan, Hank Williams
And the wanderin' boy, Web DPierce, the old honky-tonker himself F#Lefty Frizzell
My goodness, Gwhat a group!
DWould you just listen to Mother Mabel
BmOver there pickin' the wildwood Emflower with the angel band?
AYou know I personally think she's just about God's favorite
And DMarty Robbins
Well, F#he's still gettin' more encores than Ganybody else up here
just like he Dused to down on earth,
Yeah, well, there's Elvis
AThey still call him the King but we know Dthey're not talking about the real king up here!"
[Chorus]
I Ddreamed I was F#there in Ghillbilly Dheaven
Oh, what a Astar-studded Dnight!
Then I ask Roy and Tex, I said, D"Well, who do you think will be showin' up,
F#say, within the next 40, 50, 60- Gyears?"
They handed me a Dbig tally-book and, in it, BmI saw names like Johnny Cash,
EmGeorge Jones, Merle AHaggard, Don Gibson, Mel Tillis, Farren Young, Kitty Wells
Some of the newer ones Dlike Vince Gill and Garth F#Brooks
'Course they talked about GMinnie Pearl, the Judds, Tanya Tucker, Reba McIntyre, Hank Jr.
Oh, of course, Buck Owens, Roy Rodgers, Gene Altry, Randy Travis, and Willie Nelson, there's old Chet!
I said, "Well, Awhere's Porter Wagoner's name?"
Oh, there it is!
And then there was Loretta Lynn, and Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton!
That's when I woke up!
[Chorus]
I Ddreamed I was F#there in Ghillbilly Dheaven
Oh, what a Abeautiful Dsight!
And I Dmet all the F#stars in Ghillbilly Dheaven
Oh, what a Astar-spangled Dnight!
