Slim Dusty - Old time country halls

As I ^Dpick up my guitar to ^Gsing another ^Dsong I hear the walls of this old hall-you?ve^E done this thing too^A long You k^Dnow you?ve been around for years, I guess you?ve shown us ^Gall I talk like this when I^D reminisce with an ^Gold time^A country^D hall.

I j^Doined a tent show as a kid with a d^Gream and an old g^Duitar De silvers all star cavalcade and ^EDante was the s^Atar He t^Daught me lots about the game, today I under^Gstand He was a great ma^Dgician and he w^Gas a ^Afine old ^Dman

I?m a ^Ahowlin cattle camp crooner, I?m an ^Gold time din^Dosaur Hey. L^Get me sing where the ^Drafaters ring, in an ^Gold time^A country ^Dhall.

I?v^De been on the road for forty years and ^GDante could equal^D that And you?ll find his faded posters still in ^Esome halls way out ^Aback I ^Dlike to go back stage and dream sometimes and just ^Grecall The shows I?ve had, the ^Dgood and bad, shared ^Gwith these ^Acountry h^Dalls.

Take the o^Dld Town hall Kalgoorlie with it?s ^Gold time charm and^D grace And your multi-million complexes ^Enever will r^Aeplace All g^Dlass and steel and concrete, some large and some too ^Gsmall Oh let me sing where the ^Drafters ring in the ^Gold time^A country ^Dhalls.

I?m^A howlin cattle camp crooner, I?m an ^Gold time dinosa^Dur Hey, l^Get me sing where the ^Drafters ring, in an ^Gold time^A country^D hall I?m^A holing cattle camp crooner, I?m an o^Gld time dinosa^Dur Hey le^Gt me sing where the r^Dafters ring, in an ^Gold time^A country^D hall

In an o^Gld time ^Acountry ^Dhall In an o^Gld time ^Acountry ^Dhall.
