Tear Down the Grand Ole Opry - John Hartford

They’re gonna tear down the grand old opry

They’re gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song

E a

They’re gonna tear down the grand ole opry

Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on

Well there were campers

And there were busses

Parked all around, where there used to be a door

But that place

Called the grand ole opry

It just ain’t there

B e a e a

Just ain’t there no more

A c e

Right across from the wax museum they used to line up around the block

A c e

From east Tennessee and back down home again

E g b

All of a sudden there’s nothing to do where there once was an awful lot

E g b

Broad Street will never be the same

I’ve been in love with the grand ole opry

And I guess I have now for a good many years
