I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[INTRO]
[Em] [F#] [G] [A]

[CHORUS]
I [D]dreamed I was [F#]there in [G]hillbilly [D]heaven
Oh, what a [A]beautiful [D]sight!
And I [D]met all the [F#]stars in [G]hillbilly [D]heaven
Oh, what a [A]star-spangled [D]night!
Last night, I [D]dreamed I went to hillbilly [F#]heaven
And just as I arrived, the [G]old curtain lifted
And there on [D]stage stood, who else, but [Bm]Roy Aikcuff and Tex [Em]Ritter!
They said, "Well, how you [A]doing? Come on in here, I know there's some folks you wanna see!
Over [D]there's our newest member, your old [F#]friend Conway Twitty! Say [G]hello, darlin'!
And there's [D]gentlemen Jim Reeves, singin' with Heaven's choir
Roger Miller, he just [A]got here, he's making everybody [D]laugh
'Course you know Roy Orbison [A]can sing just as high as anybody [D]here
And Ernest Tubb can [F#]sing as low!
And Patsy Cline, [G]well, bet she's the best singin' angel [D]here
And Dottie West is probably the prettiest
There's the old pea- [A]picker, Ernie Ford, Jimmy Rodgers, [D]George Morgan, Hank Williams
And the wanderin' boy, Web [D]Pierce, the old honky-tonker himself [F#]Lefty Frizzell
My goodness, [G]what a group!
[D]Would you just listen to Mother Mabel
[Bm]Over there pickin' the wildwood [Em]flower with the angel band?
[A]You know I personally think she's just about God's favorite
And [D]Marty Robbins
Well, [F#]he's still gettin' more encores than [G]anybody else up here
just like he [D]used to down on earth,
Yeah, well, there's Elvis
[A]They still call him the King but we know [D]they're not talking about the real king up here!"

[CHORUS]
I [D]dreamed I was [F#]there in [G]hillbilly [D]heaven
Oh, what a [A]star-studded [D]night!
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- [G]years?"
They handed me a [D]big tally-book and, in it, [Bm]I saw names like Johnny Cash,
[Em]George Jones, Merle [A]Haggard, Don Gibson, Mel Tillis, Farren Young, Kitty Wells
Some of the newer ones [D]like Vince Gill and Garth [F#]Brooks
'Course they talked about [G]Minnie 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, [A]where'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 [D]dreamed I was [F#]there in [G]hillbilly [D]heaven
Oh, what a [A]beautiful [D]sight!
And I [D]met all the [F#]stars in [G]hillbilly [D]heaven
Oh, what a [A]star-spangled [D]night!
