_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Do you know _ who _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] could I [Abm] show _ _ you?
_ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] Do you [Db] know who [A] Jago _ was? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Who [E] was Jago? _ _
Take your place _ _ [Eb] and _ _ [E] _ _ see the bass _ _ man.
[Db] _ _ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ One who [Gb] played with so much _ _ _ _ feel. _
_ _ _ _ Don't you know [E] who he _ was? _ _ _
You [Ab] did it, you [C] did _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Gb] it.
Such a gift [F] from above.
[Gbm] Tell me that [G] you know [Ab] who he [E] _ was. _
[G] There's a great [Bb] _ sound [Eb] _ _
_ _ [E] up [G] _ in [E] Teen _ Town.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Eb] Where they know [G] who _ [A] Jago _ [Gb] was. _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ Tell [E] me you know.
_ _ From a volner. _ _
From a volner.
_ [Gb] To the [Abm] corner.
_ [Bm] _ To the corner.
_ _ _ _ [Db] Many people [E] love the [Bbm] _ _ sound.
[Am] The _ _ man.
Those who could _ [A] _ understand. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] Do you, did [Dbm] you?
_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [A] Who was I thinking of?
_ _ [Gb] _ Please [G] say you know [E] who it _ was.
This next part is Jago's solo.
I haven't played this in a long time.
So it might be a little sloppy. _ _ _ _ _
But it's soloing.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] Boy when _ I [Eb] first heard Jago play.
_ [E] _ _
_ [B] I've got to admit I [E] was blown away.
_ [Db] By the [Ab] sound of [A] his _ heart.
_ [Gb] And it tore _ _ [Db] [E] me _ apart.
_ _ _ _ Yet it _ _ gave me a brand new _ _ start.
_ _ _ _ I'd never heard a sound like that before.
_ [G] What you saying playing Love and Cops of the East.
What you playing?
I was [A] on his record.
[Gm] What he did was so [Ab] much more.
[Gb] So much better.
_ _ Running, jumping, slipping and [Gb] sliding.
_ _ [D] Dancing around.
_ [Abm] And the [Bb] _ [Abm] sound that he had on his [A] bass.
Really blew my mind.
That's the sound [E] I just had to find.
_ _ _ [Ab] Harmonically he [B] was so free.
Not to [B] chop to see my boy was [C] playing melody.
_ [A] So ferocious he was [Abm] turning it around.
[E] Making many sounds.
Standing on [A] the mound.
It was so astounding to this day.
I can't believe [Ab] the feelings that his [D] music gave to me.
One time I [Eb] went to see him do a show.
[Gb] Let him go.
It was a mother for [E] your sensibilities.
And everything you thought could be.
_ Does most of the musician really catch a spell on me?
[Ab] You see.
_ [C] And set me free.
_ _ [Eb] I [G] still clearly remember.
_ The [D] way that he did [E] _ Donnelly.
_ [N] _ How [Gb] could this be?
[Bb] _ [G] When I first heard Heavy Weather.
[B] I said [Db] I [A] never [B] heard a sound like that before.
[Db] [D] Quite a sound [Ab] like team town.
This guy [Bm] sure can [Eb] get [Gb] around.
[Ab] And [Db] solo too.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
It is [E] true. _ _
When I heard him [Ab] play Portrait of Tracy.
It [A] made me _ [A] crazy.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
[E] I told everyone get out of my face. _ _ _
_ [Bm] Get out of here.
Don't even try it.
That isn't a [B] bass.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ If [D] it isn't I guess he just [E] took it to another place. _ _ _
_ [F] Then one day Jemaita Ryder said [G] his news.
Spread _ [Em] around like a fire.
_ [E]
To the point that I couldn't believe it.
Jocko went to the _ wire.
_ [G] [Abm] Do [Eb] ya do do do. _
[Bbm] _ _ [A] Such a musician [F] you must admire.
And [Db] I say [Ab] this [D] because.
Everybody [B] should know.
Who [E] he was.
_ _ _ [B] Time to [E] go now.
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[Gb] Do [E] you know _ _ how.
[Db] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Abm] How to [Eb]
find good [G] _ [Gbm] Jocko. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] Now that I'm [E] through.
_ Now that I'm through.
_ [Gb] Guess [E] I told you.
Guess I told you.
_ _ [B]
And I [Dbm] sing this song [Bb] with.
_ _ Feel.
[A] And love.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] Cause I know. _ _
Who [E] he was. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
