The guy from Louisiana that grew up like I grew up and for the success that I've had
I feel lucky and blessed to have.
But to be here tonight in New Jersey and be singing a Hank Williams [Fm] song with [Ab] Tony Bennett
[B] is [F] gotta be the highlight of my career so far.
I tried so [Eb] hard my dear to show that she's [Gm] my every dream
[Ab] Yet she's afraid [Eb] each thing [Fm] I do is just some evil [F] scheme
A memory from her lonesome past [Db] keeps us so [Ab] far apart
[Bb] Why can't I free her doubtful mind [Ab] and melt her cold, cold [Eb] heart?
[Bb]
[C] Another [Bb] love [Eb] before [Bb] my time [Eb] made her heart sad and [Fm] blue
[Bb] And so [Ab] my [Fm] heart is pained [Ab] now [Fm] for things I [Eb] didn't [Bb] do
[C] In [F] anger unkind words [Bbm] are said [Eb] that make the teardrops start
[Ab] [Bb] Why [Fm] can't I free [Bbm] her doubtful mind and [Fm] melt her [Bb] cold, cold [Eb] heart?
[F] Well I can tell you I was nervous [C] as hell.
That was the [Bb] main thing, you know, singing with Tony Bennett.
That's always a [Eb] good sign for a good performance.
When you [Ab] feel that way, you know, you just care and you want to make sure it comes out [Bb] right.
Absolutely.
You sure [Fm] did.
Thanks so much.
Thank you.
I wanted to do it right and I was so proud that you asked me to do it.
[Ab]
I'm thrilled to hear it.
And be a part of [Abm] this project.
Fantastic.
[Eb] There [Bb]
[C] [Bb] was a time [Bb] when I [F] believed that [Eb] she belonged [Bb] to me
[Fm] But now I know her heart is shackled [Gm] to a memory
[Eb] [Bb] [C] More [Bb] I learn, [Eb] care for her, [Bb]
the more we drift [Ab] apart
[Fm] Oh yeah, he called me and he said, Tony and I never met him.
I said, yes Mr.
Williams, what is it?
I was just starting out, you know, singing.
And he said, what's the idea of ruining my song?
[Bb] Why can't I [Ab] free her [Fm] doubtful mind
And melt her [Ab] cold, cold [F] heart?
[Gm]
I feel lucky and blessed to have.

[C] In [F] anger unkind words [Bbm] are said [Eb] that make the teardrops start
[Ab] [Bb] Why [Fm] can't I free [Bbm] her doubtful mind and [Fm] melt her [Bb] cold, cold [Eb] heart?
[F] Well I can tell you I was nervous [C] as hell.
