[G]
Thank you ever so much.
[C] You've been a very warm crowd.
We would like to maybe [Dm] close out with [C] something [G] for you that may lend a bit [C] of food for thought.
Hopefully a bit of inspiration.
A song [D] taken from a movie known as Claudine.
[Dm] Where I've had the pleasure of preparing music for Miss Gladys [F] Knight and the Pips.
A little [A] song goes a bit [G] something [C] like this.
[D]
[Dm]
[F]
[G] [C] To be [Dm] invisible
[G] [Am] Will be my claim [Dm] to fame
A man with no [Am] name
[F] That way [G] I won't have to feel [Em] the pain [Dm] [G] Indispensable
[Am] Just [C] a plain old [Dm] human being
To date don't mean a [Am] thing
[F] In a [G] world that's so mean
[E] A world [Am] that seems [Dm] not for me
[C]
[Dm] So privately
I'll [Am] be invisible
That way I won't have [Dm] to explain a thing
If you know [Am] what I [F] mean
I won't [G] even have to be [C] here on the scene
It's [Dm] so [G] ridiculous
[Am] But the strife and the bliss
Will [Dm] go right on through
[Am] [F] Right on through [G] me
To have missed [E] all the [Am] things
That [Dm] hurt you so
[F] No one [C] would ever know
[F] [C] They'd never know
That [Am] life so preciously
[F] Just don't seem to be
[D] As free as people claim
[F] Freedom to be
[E] Things are going fast
[Am] To have found that all's in the [C] past
[D] To have to take what you [F] can get
But I sure can make a [Em] heart of sand
[F] [G] Indispensable
[Am] I must behave [Dm] myself
For somebody [Am] else
[F] With a little fame, [G] fortune and wealth
[C] It's so [Dm] ridiculous
[G] [Am] But the strife and the bliss
[Dm] Will go right on [Am] through
[F] Right on through [G] me
To have [E] missed all the [Am] things
That [Dm] hurt you so
[F] [C] No one would ever [F] know
[C] They'd never know
That life so [D] preciously
Just don't seem to be
[Dm] As free [F] as people claim
[C] Freedom to [B] be
[C] Things are going fast
To [D] have found that all's in the [F] past
To have to take what you can get
Sure [G] can make a heart of sand
So I'll be invisible
[C] Invisible
[G] We wish you love, longevity, peace and happiness
For all of [C#m] you
Everybody, thanks for coming out
[G#m] And we [C#m] have enjoyed you tremendously
[E] So long everyone
