[Cm] [G]
[Dm] Hello London!
[C]
[Cm] [Gm] We're gonna have some fun tonight London.
[G] We're going to get to know each other
better.
We're going to reflect.
[D] We're going to go back in time.
[G] Here comes the sun, little
darling.
[D] Here comes [Cm] the sun.
I [G] say it's alright.
[C]
[A] [Em] [D] It's alright.
I was born [G] and raised in a town
called Springfield, Ohio.
I'm [Em] told if I have to compare Springfield [Eb] to a city here in the
UK, [G] I could compare it to [C] Slough, maybe.
[A]
It's alright.
[D]
[G] Little darling, it's been [C] a long,
[E] cold, [D] lonely winter.
[G] Little [Gm] darling, it's alright.
I was born [Em] as John Rogers Stevens
to Phyllis [Bm] and Ronald Stevens.
My family [G] belonged to the Pentecostal church and I was [Dm] there
from the womb.
[C] So I grew up going to lots and lots [Cm] of church.
It shaped every [G] aspect
of my world and it was the foundation [A] for my music, my [G] family, and my education.
It's
alright.
[D] [G]
Little darling, the [C] smiles returning to [D] the faceless.
[G]
Little darling, it seemed
[C] like years since you've [D] been here.
[G]
Little darling, [Dm] it's been a [C] long, cold, lonely winter.
I [D] graduated high school at 16.
I was number two in my [G] class.
I was accepted into some
great schools like Harvard and [C] Morehouse and Georgetown and I chose to go [D] to the University
of [G] Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
I was two years younger than everybody from a [C] small
[Em] midwestern town.
I was [Cm] poorer than just about everybody.
I [G] was black in a majority white
school.
There were all these [C] reasons I had to feel like [G] I was an outsider and it [D] took
me a while to warm up to any kind of social circumstance.
[G]
[C] [Eb] [G]
[Gm] [C]
[Eb] But as shy as [G] I was, the one
thing I knew was that I [F] could sing and play.
[C] So music was my [Eb] way of introducing myself
to people, [D] connecting with them.
[C] It was my [Bm] icebreaker.
[Am] [Em]
[D]
[G] Here comes the [Bb] sun.
[C]
[Eb] [G] Here comes
the [Gm] sun.
I wanted to make a living [C] as a musician since I was a kid.
[Eb] So in 2002, I finally [G] quit
my job as a management [F] consultant, thankfully.
Yeah, I [C] was a management consultant for [Eb] three
years.
Very sexy, [G] sexy work.
[F] Not at all.
[C] But I didn't give up on music.
[Eb]
It'll be [G] alright.
[F]
Here comes [C] the sun.
[Eb]
It'll be [G] alright.
[F] Here comes the sun.
Here comes the sun.
Here comes
the sun.
[C] [Cm]
It'll be [G] alright.
[Dm]
[D] [Cm]
I've been [D] performing as John Stevens for my [G] entire life, but more
and more people began to know me as John [C] Legend.
So I [Cm] had a decision to make.
It'll be [G] alright.
Part of me was saying, how am I going to call [C] myself a legend?
I don't [A] even have a record
deal yet.
[G] But maybe the better part of me said, you know what?
[C] We're going to make this
work.
[A]
It'll be [G] alright.
And I didn't want to [C] doubt myself so much [Cm] that I wouldn't take
the name because I was [G] afraid of the name.
[D]
[B] [G] It [Cm] was time for me to stop [G] living that double
life.
Stop [Dm] worrying about [G] my backup plan and start to [C] have faith in myself and my purpose.
[Cm] So I was like, fuck [G] it.
I'm going to call myself John Legend.
It's alright.
[C] [G]
[A] [Em] [A] It's alright.
