Start Jamming...
Every culture have different music
[E] of their kind.
[A#] Even I have my own.
[E] New Orleans, they have their own.
[C#]
[F#] Grandpa Elliot Small has been a street musician in New Orleans for decades, occupying a corner on Royal Street.
Louisiana, they trying to wash us away.
They trying to wash us away.
This year, pushing 70 years of age, he made his recording [G#m] debut, performed on The Tonight Show and in front of 40,000 people at Dodger Stadium.
And a few years ago, producer Mark Johnson had an [Gm] idea.
Record street [N] musicians from all over the world playing the same song, but recorded in their home venues.
Then mix it all together for one high-tech global performance.
You know, the guys who filmed the guy, and he started it all going into a stand by me.
And he asked me to sing [C] along with it.
When the night has come [Am] and the land is gone, [F] and that moon [G] is the only [C] light we see.
[F] Oh, [C] playing for [N] change.
All my life I've been putting out love, but not like that.
[D] Sugar sweet, but [A] so's your kiss.
Honey is awfully sweet, [D] and so's your lips.
Your lips is so, y'all [F#] don't sweet to [C] me.
[G] Baby, I'm [Gm] afraid if [D] you kiss the ocean [A] it would turn to [D] lemony.
[A]
[D]
[G]
[Gm] [D] Ooo, ooo,
[A] [D] ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo.
I'm a poor man.
[A] I guess you see that clear.
Yes, I'll never get to be [D] a millionaire.
If I had a [Am] million dollars, girl, [G] tell you what [Gm] I'd do.
I would [D] trade it all [A] to spend one night with [D] you.
You are more to me [A] than the blood in [D] my veins.
You are more to me than [A] the blood in my [D] veins.
[Bm]
[D] [N] Grandpa Elliot!
Show us what you got!
