D                                     G 
We got silver eagles rollin' on the freeways every day 
A                                      D 
Singing country music, all across the USA 
                                              G 
But the wheels one day will fold-up and our wings will take the curves 
           A                                           D 
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird 

D                                            G  
Then the pearly gates will open and all the angel bands will ring 
A                                                          D 
Standing on that golden stage, we will hear the Great One sing. 
                                  G    
Well have a Grand Old Opry, like no one has ever heard 
           A                                           D 
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird. 

D                                            G 
And when Gabriel blows his trumpet, all the bands will be in tune. 
     A                                                           D 
And when that golden curtain rises, there will be only standing room 
                                     G 
Well entertain the Master, in his Grand Old Opry Church 
           A                                          D 
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.

And when that golden curtain rises, there will be only-standing room. 
                                        G 
Yes well entertain the Master, in his Grand Old Opry Church 
           A                                           D 
When the shiny silver eagle, meets the great speckled bird.
