[Verse 1]
G C
Late at night when all the stars are gone
G D
an old man sweeps the auditorium
G C
He'll close his eyes and sing into his broom
D G D
from an empty stage into an empty room
G C
He sold everything he owned to come to town
G D
but he had to take this job when the chips were down
G C
now he's sweeping up the biggest show in history
D G D/F#
he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
 
[Chorus]
Em C
Now every night he sings when they leave

on a stage where he always dreamed he'd be

He puts on the greatest show you'll never see

Well he writes and tells his folks he's doing fine
G D
that he expects to hit the big one anytime
G C
But he don't let on, he's sleeping in the streets

he's the Phantom of The Grand Ole Opry
