Now on today's good news New York, people struggle a lifetime to get half as good as Joey [D] Bonamassa and he's only in the eighth grade.
[E] [A]
[E] In the Syracuse area, there's a [Dm] player on the blues circuit that's [E] got the late night music [A] scene smoking.
[D] Musicians and audiences [A] alike agree, he's got a [Gm] spark for someone [G] his age.
You don't [D] need a lot of [G] explainables, you just have to [D] have that certain knack of [G]
bending notes and getting feel out of your instruments.
[G]
[A]
[Db] [Bb]
[A] Joey seems to have found a way to touch the emotions of the blues, [Am] though he's never known the sadness and [A] heartache that most people think of [D] as the [Dbm] blues.
As
[Db] [Gb] you know I have a guitar.
At the age of 13, he's [Abm] in a club most musicians work a lifetime to join.
[D] He's not only shared a stage with B.B. King, but the [A] legendary Stephen Stills [D] even invited Joey [A] to play with him.
Most [Ab] people would ask [Abm] him, can I [B] please play with you?
And I was kind of quite a compliment [G] to have him ask me.
[E] [G] [C]
[B] Joey's father taught him to play [Bm] guitar when he was [Ab] five years old.
Now Joey plays with the new and improved Hot in the [E] Shade.
Most of the players are more than twice his [E] age, but that doesn't intimidate [A] them one bit.
No, that doesn't make a difference.
Joey's really super mature for [Eb] his age and he's [D] an excellent guitarist.
Yeah, when I get him [Db] mad, he gets mad at me and he [E] just blows me away.
[Ab] [Db]
[Dbm]
[Ab] It's just so hard to play with [Eb] people my own age, because it's all heavy metal.
You just try to show them [Gb] something new.
[Ab] Boom.
[D] Bang out a couple of bar chords.
[Dbm] [Db] It gets to me sometimes.
[G]
[Cm]
I knew about the time when he was around six and a half years old.
He [Eb] was able to play [Cm] Scuttlebutt from Stevie Ray Vaughan [F] and I walked out of [C] the bedroom shaking my head.
[F] I mean, it was hard to explain to anybody what he was doing.
[Bb]
[Fm] You also have to have a little determination, a [Ab] little
you also have to have a goal.
You can't just sit there, well, I'm going to learn [Fm] the guitar and I'll figure out my goals [Cm] later.
[Gm] [Cm]
[C] [Gm]
[Eb] [Dm] [Gm]
[Fm]
[F] [G] [Cm]
If I ever do make it up to stardom, I feel like I might make a difference.
Len [B] Bonamassa says Joey outplayed him by age six.
So now, Dad's taken the dual role of coach and manager.
No doubt, Joey will go [N] far.
