[D] [G]
[C] I'm gonna let my tears [G] show again, that Jesus came like a angel in the night.
Praise the [D] Lord, [G] I saw the light.
Oh I saw the light, I saw the [C] light.
No more darkness, no [G] more night.
Now I'm so happy, oh sorrow is silent.
[D] Praise the Lord, I saw [G] the light.
Well I praise the [Em] Lord.
Yeah, [A] we did that enough.
[F] [Am] [Em] [G] [E] You remember the session of Gentle on the [F#m] Mind, right?
[D] Yeah.
You know what they did with that?
You remember [E] I was going through and I was saying,
It's knowing that your door is always open and this path is free to walk.
Yeah guys, that feels good.
Yeah Leon, keep that, like that lick.
It makes me tend to leave my sleep and at the end of it I go,
Don't stand behind your couch, mmm.
That was on the record, if you'll notice it on the record.
And they gave me a Grammy for singing out of tune on that.
That track we did, that was the way they released [D] the record.
I didn't know it at the time though.
Maybe there's hope for me.
There's hope for you Leon, definitely hope for you.
Let's do it [E] guys, two, three, [D] four.
[F#m] [D]
[F#m] [Bm] [F#m] [D] It's knowing that your [F#m] door is [Bm] always [D] open and your path is free [Em] to walk.
[G] [A] [Em] That makes me tend to leave my sleep and [G] back row,
[A] Or a pair of stash [D] behind the old couch.
[F#m] [D]
And it's knowing [F#m] I'm not shackled [D] by forgotten words and bonds,
And the exchange that I've [A] tried upon [Em] some line.
[G]
[Em] That keeps you [B] on the back row [G] by the rivers of my [A] memory,
[G] And keeps you [A] ever gentle [D] on my mind.
[F#m] I'll play one.
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[Em] [A] [Em]
[A] [D] [F#m] [D]
[F#m] [D]
[Em]
[G] [Em] [B] [Em]
[A] [D]
[F#m] [D] I may dip my cup [F#m] of soup [Bm] back from a Kirkland, [D] crackling, cauldron [Em] in some train yard,
With my beard or a thin coal pile and a dirty hat [A] full across [D] my face.
[F#m] [D]
I still [F#m] might run in silence, [Bm] fears that joy might [D] stain my face,
And a summer sun might burn me [Em] till I'm blind.
But not to [B] where I cannot see [G] you walking on the back row,
By the rivers flowing gentle [D] on my mind.
[F#m] [D] [F#m] You're gentle on [Em] my [D]
[Em] mind.
[D]
That's a good song.
[N] Yeah.
[E] I had a long talk with Elvis.
I did some sessions with Elvis.
Were you there?
Heartbreak Hotel?
No, I never
With Elvis, you mean?
Mm-hmm.
I did a
Not Heartbreak Hotel, but
I never played with him.
Viva Las Vegas.
I got to know him.
I'd known him since 56.
He was a heck of a guy.
You know how people come up to you sometimes when you're sort of [Bm] a celebrity,
And they say real strange things [N] to you?
I met Elvis up in Vegas, and he called me backstage.
I was so excited about meeting him and everything.
I walked up to him, shook hands, [E] and I said,
Elvis, how come you ended up in all them terrible movies?
And I said, oh!
[B] Why did I say that?
And I knew how those people felt [E] that said all that stuff.
Oh.
Well, that was in your younger days, Leon.
You always were tactful, though.
Yeah.
[N] You always were.
That's one thing about Leon.
If he tells you a hog weighs five pounds, you can just wrap it [E] up.
You don't even have to weigh it.
I do Heartbreak Hotel.
Okay.
What key is it in?
[F] Let's see.
[D] I love [F#] your
What is it, verse?
[C#] [F#]
[Am] I ain't found [D] one yet.
Well, since my baby [F#] left me,
Found a new [D] place to dwell,
Out in the air of a lonely street,
Heartbreak Hotel.
[G] Just alone, baby.
Be so alone.
[A]
So alone.
