Alicia Keys and John Legend - Special tribute to Madiba (Yarra Valley) chords
Start Jamming...
There's an incredible energy in here tonight and it feels [G] good
It's something about the wind blowing
You know, this is something about being on grass that it changes things, you know
Well, I wanted to do
Something special tonight.
We wanted to do something special tonight for you in honor of the great Nelson Mandela
Who I feel
So moved by in every way and what a life lived
What an incredible life lived and what an inspiration for us to all carry forward so
John called me and he said I think we should do something special for our people tomorrow
That was yesterday and now it's today.
And so
We wanted to sing a special song for you tonight
Please give some love to Hanan on guitar
