[Verse 1]
D
You were the king of Sand Mountain
G
At least I thought so
A G
You had a knack for high tenor
A
And I sang the low
D
Alabama to the Opry
A G
Was the second hardest road
D A
The worst was me losing you
D
And singing all alone
[Chorus]
D G D
Ira, I still hear you
D A
Off in the distance your sweet harmony
D G D
Ira, I still miss you
D
There'll never be another
A
'Cause you can't beat family
G A
I know you're up there singing
Bm G D A D
With the angels, Hallelujah, I ra
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
D
Mandolin strings still ringing
G
In my memory
A G
There were times when you gave Bill Monroe
D A
A run for his money
D
You had a way with writing
G
Music from the heart
D
Your voice is strong
A
Even though you're gone
D
'Cause I still hear your part
[Chorus]
D G D
Ira, I still hear you
D A
Off in the distance your sweet harmony
D G D
Ira, I still miss you
D
There'll never be another
A
'Cause you can't beat family
G A
I know you're up there singing
Bm G D A D
With the angels, Hallelujah, I ra
[Outro]
G A
One day soon I'll sing with you
Bm G D A D
And the angels, Hallelujah, I ra
