Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If [D]you[G] should go to Ontario to the town of B[D]allin[G]afad|At the General Store they can tell ya more|About the phone cal[A]l they once had|[D]When they heard the[C] man say tell [G]the band|From Nashville I did call|And hold on tight I'll be there tonight|To play the ball at t[D]he Ba[G]llinafa[D]d H[G]all||Now the word got around from town to town till a thousand ticket[D]s were sold|To se[G]e the star with a great big car from Nashville [A]they were told|And t[D]he local band got [C]a grea[G]t big hand when the walked into the hall|But the crowd looked high and low||For the guy who made the teleph[D]one call||The[G]n thro[D]ugh[G] the door with a rush and a roar|Came Sam the fur[D]nace man|With a fi[G]ddle case and big red face and he jumped upon the stand[A]|I'll have t[D]o st[C]ate I'm a little bit late but I[G] hope you got my call|With an ol' straw hat he grinned like a cat when he bouced that[D]
fiddle like [G]a b[D]all[G]||Now about that car with a Nashville star the band wa[D]s never t[G]old|But after the pause and the one for the cause|T[A]he mystery did unf[D]old|From the General[C] Store they knew th[G]e score|When Sam walked in the Hall|But he couldn't have been in Nashville when he made that te[D]lephone c[G]all||N[D]ow [G]Sam took a bow as he laughed out loud|An he said I'll hav[D]e you know|Ther[G]e's a little place called Nashville here in old Ontari[A]o||And [D]there my truck got stu[C]ck in the[G] muck and I thought I'd better call|And tell the band I'll be on hand|When they play the Ballina[D]fad B[G]all|[D]|Sa[G]id Sam my truck got [C]stuck in the muck|[G]But tonight I'm tellin' you all|I just come down from Nashville town|Toplay the Ballinafad Ba[D]ll||I jus[G]t come down from Nashville town|Toplay the Ballinafad Ball|[D]|Ya'll co[G]me back now ya' hear||
