_ _ [D] Good evening, we're glad to be [F] here on the Bill Bailey Show.
[C] _ You know, the Christians have been around [F] for a long, long time, [C] about 15 years.
And in [F] that time, there have been [C] a lot of people who have been in the group
and have gone [F] on to do bigger and better [C] things.
And I'd like to tell you about just a few of [F] them right now.
[C] A couple of names I'm sure you'll recognize, [F] like Kenny Rogers in [C] the first edition,
_ Terri [Am] Ann Mewson, a former Miss America, _ Karen Black, the [F] actress, _
[C] and a fellow named John Dutendorf [F] whom you've probably never [C] heard of,
except that after he left [F] the group, he [C] went on to call himself [F] John Denver
and did [C] some great things on his own.
So [F] you can see we're kind of proud of [C] people we've had with us in the past.
[F] And right now, we're going to [C] do for you the two songs that really [F] started things off for the Christians,
[C] _ Green, Green and [F] Saturday Night.
[C] Well, I [Em] told my mama [C] on the day I was born, don't you cry [G] when you see I'm gone
_ [C] Cause I'm just a good-loving, rambling man and [G] I gotta keep a [C]-rambling on
_ _ _ Green, green, [F] it's green they say [C] on the far side of [G] the hill
_ _ [C] _ Green, green, [F] I'm going to [C] wake you where the grass [G] is greener still
_ [C] Well, I [Em] don't care [C] where the _ _ sun is [G] tomorrow
Or where the _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] rocky road is, that's where I'm gonna make my bed _
_ _ Green, _ [F] green, it's green they [C] say _ [G] on the far side of the hill _
