_ _ _ And the day that we married, Roy, I was gonna sing and I tried to think of something that I could
sing and I just, you know, I'm not really so much a singer as I am a writer, so I just got up [D] and I

just sang it.
_ And Emmy and I are getting ready to go out and do these Lapa Doosa concerts and
what they're about is that _ _ everybody deserves a [G] home, everybody [D] deserves a place on this planet
[G] _ and we're going through a period of time right now where the world's sort of tipped on its axis and
people are just being emptied out of one whole part of the world and they gotta go somewhere
and it's up to those [Em] of us that have the most [C] to take [G] care of those people, no matter
[D] what we think we're afraid of and [G] what people tell us we're afraid of because it's the right thing to do. _ _ _ _ _
