Chords for Chris Botti & John Splithoff, Paris

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ instinct that said possibly something's going on with this guy's career _ so my
friend played me this song if you go home and Spotify this song it's called
Ray but it's spelled r-a-y-e _ _
_ _ _ _ _ the reason I pointed out the e part _ _ _ might be referring to someone with a
different pitch _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ probably listened to that song ray more than anything else
summer 2021 when it comes to popular music and I can recognize instantly [E] that
this young artist is [Gb] going to be a song and he has [G] four characteristic traits
that a lot of the artists that when I grew up that I read that I admired so
much Elton John Billy Joel sting Paul Simon James Taylor about a prince see you
wonder all these people had or have four characteristics in common they can
write a song they produce a [E] song they can play an instrument Stevie Wonder
to play nine million instruments [G] and _ they when they step up to a microphone
like a thumbprint they had an [N]
identifiable unique impact on the
audience they were singing for and I hear that in this musician and I think
it's a lost art form because so many young people are spending all the time
on apps and not learning a craft [A] in this old-school style which [Ab] encompasses
harmony and [G] lyrics and all that sort of stuff _ I can't see enough things of
going things about him so we invited him down to the blue note a year and a half
ago [N] to a meeting _ [G] and I asked him to join me on that record to be the only singer
on the album [E] and he sent me a text of the song that he produced and he'd
written and it's brilliant and I was like we would have [G] recorded it for you
there's no and it's called Paris and so we recorded [A] it on [Abm] my album and whenever
it comes out it will be the first single [N] from that record and recording project so
we're gonna begin by playing the song Paris for you and then we're gonna play _
