_ _ [E] _ _ [A] Yeah, I can see [D#] a lot of y'all been in the joints.
Yeah, that's good.
But you know what folks, let me share one thing with you.
_ [N] And that is, there's no way in the world that we can do what we're doing up here without
the help of these professional musicians.
Let _ me _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
take a moment and let me introduce you to _ our bass player, Mr.
Merrick Miller. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm from Mr.
Paul Merrard. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[G] And over here on the keyboard synthesizer, [G#m] Mr.
Don.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ And over here playing on the [G#] funky guitar, [G#] Mr.
Major. _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And these two beautiful young [D] ladies that we take them all over the world.
But as [B] if they're passing around the world with us for the whole [C] time.
I don't know how to meet [D#] you.
Miss [D] Cynthia [N] Bass. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And Miss Cynthia Vegas. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
And the next in our list, our music conductor and arranger, [C] _ _ _ [D#] Mr.
John [N] Austin. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ See that little baby face?
[F#] Is that [D#] something?
Well, look at him, he's an old [N] man. _ _ _
_ Are you all having a good time? _
_ _ _ Thank you for coming and spending [B] all your afternoon.
_ [D] _
_ To [C#] be up here singing for you, singing the music that we love [F#m] and you all love it, and
we love it, it's just [B] a love fest.
[G#]
Well, you [Am] know, _ [D] this next song is a song that [Bm] I had no idea I was [F#] going to end up recording.
When I was a little girl in Los [G] Angeles, I used to love [D] Torch songs.
You know, the songs about the man that got away?
[Bm] Yeah.
[C] _ _ [D#] _
I always loved [B] songs about hunger and [A] quieted love.
And my mother used to look at me [G] and she said, what do you know about [B] the man that got away
at nine years old? _ _ _
Sometimes you hear things and [D] they just connect you.
[E] But I had no idea [C#m] what day I [F#] was going to grow up and I was going to be singing in a
group [B] on [D#] the sixth dimension.
And I was going to [F#] have an [Bm] opportunity to record _ [F#m] a Torch song that I think is one of
the greatest [G] Torch songs ever [A] written.
It was [B] written by Bert Bacher. [N] Thank you. _ _
