LAURA NYRO Monterey with Pennebaker intro chords
Start Jamming...
[Em] [Dm] [C] So this was already a hit for her?
[E] Yeah.
[Dm] Well [Ab] all her songs are pretty [Em] well known when she sang them really.
[C] That's why the Times [E] Obit was rather [Dm] peculiar because they said she [Ab] got booed [C] off the stage which [E] wasn't the case at all.
She [C] didn't get booed off the stage.
But that's what they put in the Times.
I wrote them a letter yesterday.
She [A] didn't feel good about [N] how she looked.
She didn't feel good about the band.
And she carried that burden for almost 30 years.
And then about two months ago we called her and said we looked at the footage and the only thing close to a boo that we can hear is somebody yelling beautiful.
Which was the absolute truth.
Come in and take a look at it.
This is in New York at Penny Bakery.
[C] Unfortunately she never got a chance to look at it.
