I'm the don't and [C] in the field we need to [G] cross that son of a man
And the words spoke last night was [Am] so hard
You [C] said you're a fried
[E] baby, so my
all [Eb] right
Hello, we are live out here on the plaza.
It's a beautiful day [B] when you say absolutely
Yeah, so we have a rocker with us in the guy
I'm looking at you and you [E] look like a rocker like if you're walking on the street
I would know [Gb] what you did for a living [Ab] when this is Michael McDermott by the way when you get a [D] record deal
They give you these clothes.
You really have no choice, and it's just like here's your uniform go out [A] to be for success
Okay, so you've been called a rock folk icon.
So what is it between the two why the mix here?
Well, it's just folk [N] music is a kind of resurgence lately, but you know I still kind of a little old-school
So I still like to rock it out a little more than maybe the younger folk
Okay, well Stephen King called you one of the best songwriters in the world possibly the greatest undiscovered rock and roll talent of the last
20 years how does [F] that make you feel it was [E] great?
It was surreal when I first read that but [D] I you know
I don't like the undiscovered part as much as I [Ab] like the first part of that sentence great
But the second part's not so much [E] well Michael.
We want to hear you sing Michael McDermott everybody.
[D] Thank you all right.
We'll move away
[E] [Em] [G] [D] Yeah, things moving so [Em] fast that I couldn't [G] comprehend it.
[D] I was first
Maybe I was last and [Em] confusion had [G] descended
I was [D] amazed by what had transcended [Em] down through [D] the pages of time
The [Em]
faith [G] is a wall I [D] must climb
[E]
[Em] [D] And I was intrigued by your [Em] spirit and your eyes showed [G] no pain
[A] You were screaming, but I couldn't hear and your [Em] movements would not [G] explain why [D] you condemned me
[E] [Em] But to this world [D] of senseless rhyme
[Em] This fear is [G] a wall I [D] must climb
[Em]
And I've seen some heroes in my day
[E] I've seen the failures in [G] yours, and I tried to connect us in some way we run to different [Em] shows
[D] Though your love is [E] worth millions of treasures
[Em] [D] But I can't even spare a dime
[E] [Em] Love [D] is a wall I must climb
[Em] [D]
In the people they [Em] were singing I could hear them from the [D] street and my feelings
[E] They were stinging [Em] I was submerged down in my [D] defeat
But then I smiled [E] for a second [Em] and for that second man.
I [D] felt just fine
[E]
[Em] His pain is a [G] wall I must [D] climb
[E] [Em] [D] And so quiet is the terror [Em] it swallows me like [D] the night
So quiet is my [E] sickness and [Em] these songs that I long [D] to write, but I shall receive my passion
[A] Eternally from [D] beyond the bitter stars that shine
[Em] Doubt is a wall [D] I must climb
[Em]
[G] [Em] In my world of convergence.
[A] I'm a prisoner only answer me
Well, [B] I wait for the [D] emergence of the fall myself soon [Em] be
Till I [D] wait in the [E] museum
[Em] The [D] museum [Dm] of my
Fate [Em] is [D] a wall I must climb
[Em] [D]
And the hangman he's [E] in the shadows [Em] is looking for [D] something to do until we find him on [Em] the
Battles of the evil and the [D] true and the judge is there and he says
[N] Well, it was a fluke really that song was written in 91 when I just got signed but I'm from Olin [F] Park
You know, it's born in Beverly Park.
And [Bb] yeah, I just I was [G] kicking around, you know, this is a long time ago
So taking around hanging out and then someone's like, hey, here's [Abm] a record deal
I'm Dave Hoekstra wrote an article in the Sun Times and somebody in New York saw
[D] Isn't life funny like [A] that, you know, very whimsy wait good seeing you [N] again.
You were fantastic.
You should definitely go see him tomorrow
And oh and if you want more information on the construction event go to my fox Chicago comm we'll have it for you Megan Thank you
And the words spoke last night was [Am] so hard
You [C] said you're a fried
