Glenn, I think one of the, of course, he's known for a lot of great songs, but one of the songs of the 70s that he started surfacing with was this song of the [Eb] Prodigal.
Ah.
The Prodigal Son.
The first night I heard him sing this, and we had rehearsed it, you know, and sitting around the piano rehearsing, you just can't get into it like you do when you walk on the stage and you got several hundred or several thousand people out there, you know.
There's no way you can get that kind of excitement around a piano.
Yeah.
So I'd heard him sing it a few times around the piano.
We rehearsed it.
But man, I never had seen him sing it.
And he walked out on stage that first night and [Db] sung it.
Towing [Eb] me up.
[Ab] Like the [Eb] prodigal son, I [Ab] wondered [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] and traded my life [Cm] for [Eb] a [Bb] world of good times.
[F] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] No peace in my heart [Ab] I [Eb] ever could find.
[Db] [Ab] [Eb] And I got so [G] tired.
[Cm] [Eb] After the [Fm] swine.
[Ab] [Eb] [Eb] [Bb] So I believe [Eb] I'll go home [F] [G] [Ab] and eat [Eb] with the father.
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] The table [G] [Cm] is spread.
And [F] they're waiting [Bb] for me.
[F] [Bb] I can [Eb] see the father.
[Fm] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] The [Fm] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] Lord, I'm willing [Eb]
to be.
Lord, I'm [G] willing to [Cm] be [Eb] just to serve.
Just [Ab] to [Eb] serve for the like the prodigal son.
Like the prodigal son.
[Ab] I wonder [Eb] from Jesus.
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] But the good [Eb] shepherd saw.
But the good [Cm] shepherd saw.
Through the [F] heat [Eb] and the [Cm] cold.
[Bb]
[Eb] Mighty and I [Ab] here left in the [Eb] fold.
[Ab] [Eb] Just [Bb] to find [Eb] this flow of sheep.
Just to find [Cm] this flow of sheep.
[Eb] That was I.
