Chords for Gypsy - Tribute to Spoiler

You know that the footstep of spoiler is not an easy one to [D] follow in. _
[Ab] _ And, no I'm [D] serious.
And it was only about three days ago when they [B] handed me two songs and said that you're supposed to sing this song
that [N] I realized how great this man really was.
_ He's the greatest songwriter of all time, I mean of all time.
He has the greatest imagination of any man living or dead. _
_ _ _ And, in order for somebody as humble as myself to get into one of spoiler's songs, it takes a great lot.
I'm serious, I'm serious, I'm serious.
As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to figure out whether I know this song good enough.
Only I might have [G] to edit this tape a lot because I really tried.
Hey, Frank, you used to play for spoiler, [Bb] play for me just like you play for him.
