I know these guys have some stories. _ _ _
None that can be told here.
None are clean enough.
None of mine.
I'll tell my quick first concert story.
I grew up in a really small town two hours from Memphis, and when I was 12 years old,
my parents took my two older sisters and I to see James Taylor, and it was my first concert ever. _
[F] And they dropped us off at the Mid-South Coliseum.
And we went in, we saw James Taylor, and we came out.
And it was the first time I'd ever [Em] heard 16,000 people sing in unison.
_ _ Glorious.
And I knew that I wanted to be [N] a musician.
This is for you, James.
You changed my life.

[G] señorita with [F] the eyes on [D] fire.

[D] _ Sounds so sweet when [Am] the stars take [D] a look.
