By Original Work
Hail %s the chord,
We swell the harmony by the old shop door,
With lasting ties filling every heart,
And in perfect pitch.
The old shop door winds whisper low,
As ring the change we roam,
Through old acquaintance we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the sweet refrains shares a story,
Of old acquaintance and more,
The barbershop corner holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fading memory we find our way,
By barbershop corner we stand,
Though all together now may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The gather round echo far and wide,
Across the old shop door they spread,
Where close harmony once hide,
And old acquaintance fill the dead.
Let join the chorus fill the evening air,
Let kindred spirit guide our feet,
For brother mine gather there,
Where echo hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying kindred spirit away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So join the chorus and sing with me,
Let shadows on the wall fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore dances every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sing and call with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 208 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
