Chords for Richard Thompson & Jo-El Sonnier - Tear Stained Letter [1990]

_ _ _ _ _ Well, good evening and welcome to Night Music.
Now, if you're watching at home or in our studio audience, for that matter, and you're
thinking that this is the week that those Night Music people are going to slack off
and put on a lukewarm show, well, nothing could be further from the truth.
_ Don't be skeptical now.
With us tonight, just for example, just to illustrate the fact that we have an incredible
show for you tonight, we have Tim Byrne with us. _
We have_
_ Yep.
_ _ We have John Cale and B.J. Cole. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We have a great singer named Sean Colvin.
_ _ _ _ _ But before we get to those guests, first, two of our guests are going to team up.
They are Richard Thompson and the Raging Cajun, Joel Sonje, doing Richard's song, Tear [B] Stained Letter.
