[D]
This [Bm] is the most appropriate [Gb] song for the ending of this video.
[D] We've [Gb]
been together for a [Bm] long time.
I've been with [Gm] them all [D] my life.
They've been singing for a very long time.
When I look around [Bm] and I see my daddy, [Gb]
[Bb] [D] this is my daddy.
Now my daddy's been real sick.
[Bm] I'm going to [Gm] call my uncle Hayward.
[D] Still holding on.
My uncle Pope.
[Bm] Still holding on.
All these [Gm] guys have been through sickness, but [D] I'm still holding on.
[Bm] When [Gm]
[D] I look out, [Gb]
I think about what Roy [Bm] Marston said.
Now you don't find very [Gm] many quartets that still sing the big quartet.
[D] But the Sunset Diva, [Gb] man.
The Night of Dead.
[Bm] Willie Neal, even though he's gone.
[Gm]
The Jackson Southern Band.
[D] All of those guys are old.
And they're still [Bm] holding on.
They just [Gm]
[A] [D] can't help but hear.
We all gotta pray.
[Bm] [D] Help them [Gm] hear.
[D]
[Bm] Because you pray.
I [Gm]
know some of you.
[D] Let me take that out.
Y'all need to [Gb] edit that part.
[Bm] Saying that we won't go make it.
[Gm]
I know to me that I won't go [D] amount to anything.
[Bb]
[Bm] But [Gm]
look at us [D] now.
Look at us [Gb] now.
[Bm] The people here, we're still holding on.
[Gm]
[D]
That's the only [Bm] way our pastor makes it.
He's [Gm] 77 years old, but he's still [D] going strong.
Still holding on.
To God's [Gb] unchanged hand.
Let me sing this.
[Bm] [Gm]
[A] [D] They [Gb] said I wouldn't make it.
[Bm] [Gm] Some said I wouldn't be here today.
[D] [Bm] [E] They said I'd never [Bm] amount [D] to anything.
[A]
[B] I'm [G] [B]
glad to say [G] that [B] I'm on my [Gb] way.
[G] [D] And I'm [Em] growing more and [A] more and more [D] each day.
[A]
[D] Well, we started out.
[Gbm]
[D] [Am] That [D] started out with [Bm] me.
