And around [Ab] one day I had this idea and I said, Ray, that's a brilliant idea.
I [Gm] had this [B] and I said, well, thank you.
[E]
[Eb] And I said, I [Abm] had this idea [Eb] to write a honky tonk [E] gospel tune.
[Eb]
Huh?
Yeah.
Just came to [Em] me if I could write this honky tonk gospel tune, if I could write [C] this one song
[G] that would bring these two separate [Em] groups together.
You know, the people like beer [Abm] joints and honky tonk,
and the [N] people that like gospel music, they would, if I would write this song,
it would bring them together.
You know, not, [B] not so they got along with each other.
I [N] didn't care about that.
But they would come together as consumers.
[Abm]
You know, the idea of being the people who like [Ab] beer joints and honky tonk.
So I've got to have that record.
And the people who [Db] like gospel music say, I got to have that record.
That was my [G] ticket to easy [Ab] [B] street.
Well, come to find out there's [Gbm] not a mark of these songs at all, not even where I [B] live.
But I'd already written a song.
So [N] I didn't want to waste the time and effort I spent writing this song.
It could have been doing something else for that 10 minutes.
So I said, how can I salvage this song?
And then another brilliant idea, sing along.
[Em] So that's where you come in.
So [A] I'll sing it here, [B] teach it to you.
We'll sing it and we'll [Eb] have the time of [E] our lives here today.
Which [N] is kind of a depressing thought.
[E] [N] It's
[B] the time of your life.
Oh man, this is called when [A] she sang amazing.
[E] I [B] [E]
[B] was a [E] child.
Her [A] loving arms for the storm [E] clouds come along.
Far far thrice and gone through it.
She would say, [B] oh, [E] God, so love crashing.
Oh, I'm flashing.
[A] I found comfort in the words that she [E] would say.
Y'all be gone.
God, it's a rainbow.
Don't [Em] love the sun.
[E]
It's a [B] [E] great
[A] tear in [E] my face.
So the young broke.
All I do is blue sky.
I'm rolling on and a circle was full.
Oh, [A] my man, I'm somewhere [Abm] beyond blue.
I started rambling.
[E] I lost my way.
Hardly [Gbm] took [Em] away [E] the guy.
I knew.
Yeah, I started crying.
I started gambling.
[A] Had no one to [E] look over me.
There were no blue skies now.
It's only sorrow.
And I could only hear a thing in my family.
It's a game.
[B] I [A] felt
so [E] beyond.
All [B] right, [E]
[Abm] [A]
[E]
[A] [B] [E] [Em]
[E] [Em] you with me?
Yeah, right.
[E] All [N] right.
What's happening?
The song.
Come [Em] on.
Yeah, I tell you, there's a [Abm] little kid and it's under the light [Em] and he gets scared.
He crawls up in his mom's lap.
[N] She sings him this old gospel tune and he just [E] calms right down.
That's what we're going to do [C] this afternoon.
We're going to sing [Gm] this gospel tune.
I [N] wrote.
I mean, not that you need calming down.
[B] I love you.
You're doing all right without me.
OK, [E] I'm going to sing a [Gm] lot of this chorus.
And [Ab] then right after I sing that line, [G] you repeat what I just say.
What?
After I just [E] sang it.
You got it.
I.
When she's saying she's amazing, great.
[A] All right.
The next line is up.
[B] [E]
When she's saying she's [G] going to be unbroken.
OK, there's not enough room for [Bm] all that.
No, [Eb] not enough room for all that.
So [D] you just have to go be unbroken.
[B]
Circle be unbroken.
[Db] [Abm] After [Am] that, you can do what you want.
[E] All right.
When she's saying she's amazing, great.
[A]
Helping me in [E] my.
When she's saying she's going to be unbroken.
That's good.
[B] Now I'm singing like we really [E] mean it.
[B] When [E] she's saying she's amazing, great.
[A] I'm here. [E] And I.
When she's saying she's going to be unbroken.
But I knew [B] that [E] blue sky.
Well, I was running all with this wild, wild fun.
[A] I was hanging with the world and [E] around.
Yeah, I live in fact, man, I don't know.
I was alone.
[B] Well, I had no [E] problem.
Well, I was lost.
And I was hurting.
Yes, I was.
[A] I was on the streets and [E] all day.
I stumbled into a midnight mission way down there.
I saw an angel [B] shaking a [E] tambourine.
Oh, when she sang, when she sang amazing, great.
[A]
Helping me in [E] my.
When she's saying she's going to be unbroken.
But I [B] knew that blue [E] sky.
[Gb] When she's saying she's [E] amazing, great.
Oh, I felt the tears in my.
When she's saying she's going to be unbroken.
But I thought I knew that blue sky.
[Em] Oh, I [E] [A]
felt the tears [E] in my.
When she's saying she's going to be unbroken.
But I knew [B] that [A] blue sky.
It [Abm] was.
[E] [F] [Em]
[Bm] [N]
That was the best it's ever [G] been done.
[E] I'm not just saying that because I got [G] some CDs and T-shirts.
[B] [N]
I [Gm] had this [B] and I said, well, thank you.
