Thank you so much.
I tell you, I've been in the dressing room listening to tonight over the speaker and I have to say that I just feel like this is a blessed night.
I'm just so proud to be here and to be here with our Grand Ole Opry artists.
Everybody is just sounding so amazing.
I decided to, I wanted to do a song by a woman who was a friend to all of us, especially new female artists.
She was so generous and such a wonderful, wonderful woman.
Just the epitome of grace and I know she's looking down on us tonight and is very proud for all of us that are here and so I'd like to honor Tammy Winnette, our First Lady of Country Music, for the song she wrote, Paul, it's how I can make it on [G] my own.
I'll [D] need time to [C] get you off [G] my [Dm] [C] view.
Try [G] to be in touch with you, [D] even as too much of [Am] you from time [G] to time.
Now [D] and then.
[C] Lord, you know [G] I'll need a few more days [C] to lose you.
Let [G] me keep on using you [D] till I can make it [G] on my [Ab] own.
[Eb] I'll get by.
[Db] But no matter.
[Ab]
[Db] [Ab] Chances are my tears will fall [Eb] and I'll have no pride at all from [Ab] time to time.
But [Eb] they say.
[Db] Oh, there'll be a brighter [Ab]
[Db] light on you.
[Ab] That's all I mean to do.
[Eb] Till I can make it on [Ab] my [Fm] own.
[Eb] Surely someday [C] I'll look [Fm] and see the morning [Ab] [Db] without another [Eb] lonely night [Ab] behind me.
[Eb] Then I'll know [C] [Fm]
[Ab] [Bb] no more her memories [Bbm] can find [Eb] me.
[Ab] [Eb]
But Lord, [Db] you know I'm [Ab] gonna need a few more [Db] days to lose you.
[Ab] Let me keep on using you [Eb] till I can make it [Ab] on [Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] my [Db] own.
[Eb] [Ab]
God [F] bless Team UNA.
