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

C F G C~ Am F D G Am F G C
From the honky-tonks and dance halls
F
To the Grand Ole Opery
G
Don Walser brought a smile
C
To every fan who came to see
Now it's oxygen and wheelchairs
F
And trips to the docs in town
G
The stays kept getting longer
C
He knew he was glory bound
Am
My friend, your work is done here
F
And I'd say you did it well
D
Your voice rings down from heaven
G
All the way to the Devil himself
Am
And now you're god's own yodeler
F
High above the Texas plains
G
We miss you here in Austin
C
With love we speak you name
