A real treat and a real thrill for us to have you drop into the [G] old farmhouse like this just out of the blue.
Thanks for coming down and welcome.
Well, thank you so much.
Heard so many good things about your show and it's a real pleasure to be here.
Well, it's great to have you.
You know, over the years you've written [E] and recorded so very many ballads that people [G] remember and sing and think fondly about.
[Em] I wonder if you'd sing one of those for us right now.
I picked out [B] a real oldie.
I hope everybody enjoy [G#] this one.
The Baggage Coach Ahead.
