There may be karaoke versions of songs on youtube or amazon/itunes.

I’ve searched and found nothing as far as backing tracks. You might try to get in touch with Bill Anderson, who wrote it, or maybe Billy Ray who also recorded it. Another possibility,,, there are audio programs which remove the singer. The singer is usually set in the middle of the stereo recording. So that might be a possibility. Using Bill’s or Billy’s recording, and deleting the vocal, leaving you with the left and right music with no vocal.

You can get software to take the vocals out so you can use the voiceless song for karaoke. Not perfect, but if you can’t find a backing track, DO it yourself.

You might find an eight-track with that song on it floating around somewhere.

Something like this;

Enter “remove vocals from recordings” in your search engine. There are a lot of options!

Just a guess, but since this is Free Republic and there’s always some FReeper who knows the answer to every question, I’ll bet you hear from a talented FReeper or two who can play the song on piano or guitar and send you an MP3 or CD of it. That would be so much better than a canned karaoke track!

Old Army Hat lyrics and chords These country classic song lyrics are the property of the respective artist, authors and labels, they are intended solely for educational purposes and private study only. The chords provided are my interpretation and their accuracy is not guaranteed. Old Army Hat lyrics and chords are intended for your personal use only, it's a great WWII patriotic song co-written and recorded by Bill Anderson.

Did you try youtube? If it’s not there Google it and see what comes up.

Who even has tape players anymore?

[Do_Tar]

That melody sounds a LOT like “Gentle On My Mind”. Or the other way around I suppose.

You Tube has karaoke videos, but you can’t upload them and can’t avoid the commercials.

However, if you have iTunes, you can probably get the “Instrumental” for a $1.99.

If that doesn’t work, go to Ultimate_Guitar.com and get the simplest chord chart that even a beginner guitar player can follow.

My students do all three to get their tracks.
