I want to thank you for coming.
I hope to see you again soon.
I want to sing a part of a new song and then go into the one you [D] asked for.
I've [A] sung it all [D] tonight.
I'll be out in the lobby, but I forgot to mention that.
Sign anything you want me to sign.
[Bm] [G] Almost every [A] story [D] I know.
[G] But now when [A] they turn [D] out the [F#m] spotlights,
[B]
[A] [E] I'm not sure where [A] to go.
[D] I'm so hoarse, I can't hit the high [G] notes.
It's just the whisper [A] when I'm [D] low.
[G] But when you [A] sing [D] from the [F#m] inside,
[B]
[Am] you [Em] hope that something shows.
[G] That is [Am] [G] why.
Oh yes, you [F#m] are [D] the [F#m] only [Bm] song.
[A] [G] The only [D] song I [A] need.
[G] You're the laughter.
[B] You're [D] the [Bm] loneliest song.
[E] You're the harvest.
You're [Em] the seed.
[G]
You're my [Em] first [D] and my [A] final [G]
song.
For you own [D] me,
[A] indeed.
[G]
Yes, oh [A] yes.
[G] Oh, after [F#m] [D] all is [A] [Bm] said and done,
you're [Em] the one [A] song that [D] I need.
Ah, all my life's a circle.
Sunrise [Em] and sundown.
The moon goes through the night time
[D] till the daybreak comes around.
All my life, all my life's a circle.
I can't tell you, I can't tell [Em] you why.
Seasons, the seasons spinning round again.
The years keep rolling [D] by.
I'm going to sing one more, and then you're going to help me out on this thing.
Including the cheap secret.
Well, it seems like I've been here before.
I sure [Em] remember when.
And I got [G] this [Em] funny feeling
[D] that we'll all get together again.
Round those straight lines, make up my life.
And all my [Em] road's half ends.
There's no quicker beginnings.
[G] And so far, no [D] dead ends.
Now sing with me, all my life's a circle.
Ah, sunrise and sun.
[Em] The moon goes through the night.
Till the daybreak comes.
[D]
All my life's a circle.
But I can't tell you.
[Em]
Seasons spinning.
The years keep rolling.
[D] Now before we go out on a blazing glory,
I want to get Don Ruthie, who's running the sound out there tonight.
For free, by the way.
He's going to benefit too tonight.
They're singing [G#] out there, and they've got to be very quiet.
One, a two, a one, peace.

Get out of here, anyone.

Come on.
Come on, everybody.
I don't know what my husband's doing.
Bro, get out of here.
Everybody.
All [E] my life's a [D] circle.
It's silence [Em] and now I'm lost.
The cold won't see me.
[D] Till the daybreak comes.
All my life's a circle.
But I can't tell you.
I can't [Em] tell you why.
The seasons spinning.
The years keep rolling.
[D]
You can't deny the [G] heartache.
And the years keep [A] on rolling.
[D] They keep on.
[G] [D] Bye bye.
