Chords for God Bless The Child - Steve Miller

This time, I'd like to tell you that the fellow was best man at my wedding.
God rest his soul, he's still alive. _
Yep, and I just would like to say that he had a boy five years old.
And he used to say, hey Pop, where are you going tonight?
He says, I'm going down to hear Les Paul and Mary Ford.
And so he says, can I bring my son down?
And he did.
He brought the son down.
And the guy says, gee, Dad, I'd like to be like him someday.
And I'd like to introduce him to you now.
Steve Miller. _
