Intro
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Found myself heading down toward Springfield
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
The last sign said it was twelve miles west
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
So I walked through his house and saw his tomb
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The people in the country certainly know how to play
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
It may be a while before I'm ready
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
Solo
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin'
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend
ch]G/B[/ch
But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The people in the country certainly know how to play
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
It may be a while before I'm ready
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
