Intro: Am G C
Up at Henry's Bar and Grill
F
On the north side of town
G
I saw a man reach up to heaven
C
And pull a song on down
To a smoke filled room of misfits
F
Young and old and great and small
G
And with the laughing eyes of the Buddha
C ~ ~
He shared it with us all
Am
And every soul in that roadhouse
F
Felt the power of his song
D
Through life's joys and sorrows
G
He brought us together as one
Am
They called him 'God's own yodeler'
F
'The Pavarotti of the plains'
G
There's no bigger voice in Texas
C
Don Walser was his name
He was raised out in La Mesa
F
Just a boy when his mamma died
G
With daddy at the mill all night
C
In that empty house he cried
He'd climb up in the oak tree
F
To sing his broken heart
G
The neighbours gathered in the yard
C ~ ~
Listening in the dark
Am
Singing songs about West Texas
F
Cowboys and old John Deeres
D
Rodeos and drive-ins
G
And the thrill of teenage years
Am
They called him 'God's own yodeler'
F
'The Pavarotti of the plains'
G
There's no bigger voice in Texas
C
Don Walser was his name
