[Dm] [C] [N] me!
Alright, so, uh, you wanted to mention something before we-
I-I-I wanna plug, uh, one thing.
I-I-I-I waited for Cher, I waited, you know, she's doing
solos, doing movies now, so I figured I-I'm gonna get a new singing partner.
So I've-I've
got a new singing partner.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Who would that be, son?
And we're gonna, uh, we're gonna premiere, uh, Jan-uh, Jan-uh, December 31st in Palm
Springs.
We're gonna open the convention center with a big 60s rock and roll show, and we're gonna-
She's blowing, however.
She's blowing.
This is-for real, you actually have a-
For real, I have a new singing partner.
And what is her name?
Her name is, well, I'm gonna be with, uh, like, the Mamas and [F] Papas, Dion [D]-
But who will you be singing with?
I will be singing with Chastity Bono.
Oh, is [N] that right?
Yeah.
Who won't come out?
He's hiding back there in the center.
Do you think he's gonna ask me to come out there, Mom?
I'm not gonna come out there.
So-
Well, I wouldn't-I wouldn't-
She's a-
I said, I don't know.
You can never tell what he's gonna ask you to do.
Now, would you-if-if she [G#m] came home with a tattoo all over [G#] her butt, would that drive you nuts?
Well, [B] but, you know what?
I was 27 years old when I did that.
My mother doesn't tell me
what to do anymore.
[F#] I have to tell you something.
Today, Chastity was saying [G#]-we were discussing
the fact that I wanted to get a mohawk one time.
And Chastity threw herself against [N] the
door.
And she said, this is ridiculous.
She said, you should be throwing yourself against
the door saying, you know-
She's the voice of reason now.
She is the voice of reason.
I'm very reasonable, but when I-you bring out the worst in me.
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
Okay, now, what do you think?
You wanna try a little of this now?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You have a [F#] kind of a sore throat.
Yes.
But you sounded great.
Yeah, but I was so nervous, and I-and I-
We're all a little nervous, but this would be a wonderful way-
I wasn't nervous to be on the show with you.
I was nervous because I told her to do it.
Oh, [F] well.
[A#] Thanks, Paul.
Now, [F] it's right there.
You can [G] give it a shot.
Right here?
[F] Yeah, go right over there.
Come on.
You'll love it.
Sunny [A#] and clear.
[F] [A#]
[F] [A#] Do I start?
[F] You start.
They say we're [A#] young and we don't [F] know.
We won't [A#] find out until [C] we grow.
[F] [C]
[F] I don't know [A#] if all that's true.
[F] Cause you [A#] got me and [D#] baby, [C] I got you.
[F] [A#] Babe, [F] I got you, babe.
[A#] I [F] got you, babe.
[A#]
[F] They say our [A#] love won't pay the rent.
[F] Before it's [A#] earned, our money [D#] has [C] all been spent.
[F] [C] [F] I guess that's [A#] so.
We don't have a [F] pot, but at least [A#] I'm sure of [D#] all the [C] things we got.
[F]
Babe, [A#] [F] I got you, babe.
[A#]

[F] And when I'm sad, [A#] you're close.
And if I get scared, [C] you're with [C#] [F#] me.
So let [B] them say your hair's too [F#] long.
I don't [B] care, [E] you are [C#] handsome as all.
[F#] Oh, that's what your [B] little hand and [F#] mine.
There [B] ain't no hill [E] or mountain [C#] we can't find.

I got [C#] you and I want
[F#] [B] you to kiss [F#] goodnight.
I got [C#] you to hold.
[F#] I got you [B] and I want [F#] you to hold.
I got you [C#] to love me so.
