This has been a great show.
Thanks for being with us tonight.
And special thanks to The O'Kanes, Jesse Winchester and Ralph Stanley.
One night, Jamie and I were watching TV and we saw Ralph on the Nashville Now Show and he did a song called Room at the Top of the Stairs.
When we had the opportunity to come and do this show, we thought, we've got to get Ralph to come and sing this song.
Ralph Stanley.

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ She lives all alone on a dark windy street [E] in a room [B] at the top of the stairs.
She smokes her air and stares at the wall [E] of no one that [B] my heart will die. _ _ _ _

[F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [B] In the cool of the night, she takes me inside [E] and helps me [B] through my troubles and pain.
_ She's warm, she's sweet, her kisses leave me weak.
[E] I [B] love it when she touches my face. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ She talks about the past, the sorrow and regret.
[E] She cries [F#] about the grave in her [B] heart.
_ _ I love her so much, but she doesn't want to believe [E] that any [F#] man alive [B] could ever care. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ I wish I'd been there when she was a girl, [E] for [F#] love had freed [B] her from her past.
She wouldn't be so sad, and she wouldn't live alone [E] in a room [F#] at the top [B] of the stairs.
