Chords for Yo-Yo Ma and James Taylor at Tanglewood

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I just want to say thank you again and from the part of Tanglewood and the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, you know, this is where there's so much to celebrate
again.
We celebrated the beginning of Tanglewood in the city [G#] this summer in
[C] the Commons of _ _ Bitsfield and in [N] Boston.
It's fantastic.
This is about community.
We [B] love the Tanglewood Learning [D] Institute and we [E] mourn the loss of
Andre Previn, whose [G#m] concert this is dedicated to.
And the one [F] thing I wanted
to say and leave you with [N] is the idea that _ _ here _ at Tanglewood, at the Boston
Symphony, we like to support young people and young _ talent. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, and _ to that _
end, _ _ _ _ we _ look for _ _ talented people, for musicians, _ _ singers, singer-songwriters,
and we found _ someone who wrote _ a wonderful song _ at age _ 20, _ 21.
_ Would you
like to hear that song? _ _ _ _ _
_ So ladies and gentlemen, _ may I introduce to you Jimmy
Taylor as in James _ Taylor. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Young _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ talent.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You had to say it.
_ _ _ _ _ Man, what a delight and
an honor really to _ have been asked to be part of tonight's this unique, _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ you know,
this is this is an evening to tell your grandkids about.
This is such a unique
[N] _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ very, very special [B] thing to be present for, my God. _
And I'm _ [A] not worthy, my
[B] friend, I'm not [F] worthy, but _ _ I'm so glad [N] you asked me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But I _ _ [Am] suppose we
[E] ought to do the _ _ right thing here and _ play as close as I'll ever
get to writing a sweet, [A] sweet baby James. _

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ And as the moon rises, _ he sits by his [D] fires, _ _ [B] thinking about [G] old women [D] and glasses of [A] beer.
_ _ _ [G] Flows _ [D] in his eyes as [Em] the _ [D] doggies retire.
_ [B] He sings [G] out a song which is [D] soft, but it's
clear, _ just as if maybe [E] someone could [A] hear. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ He [D] says, good night, old [G] moon, my
[A] _ _ [D] leaves.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Rock on by [G] my sweet baby [D] James.
_ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Deep [Em] greens [G] and blues for [D] the colors [G] I
[D] _ choose.
Won't you let me [E] go down [A] in my _ dreams. _
_ _ _ [C#] [A] Oh, where I go [D] by my sweet _ baby James. _
_ _ _ Now the first of [B] December _ [G] is covered with [F#] [F#m] snow.
_ _ _ _ Yes, [Bm] and so was [G] the turnpike [D] from
Stockbridge, _ [F#m] Boston. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] The [G] virtues that seem dreamlike on [D] account of that [F#m] _ [A] frosted, with
[D] ten _ miles behind me [Bm] and ten [A] thousand [Em] more to go. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] There's a song that they _ sing when
they take to [D] the highway.
[Bm] There's a song that [G] they sing when [D] they take to [A] the sea. _
[G] There's a song that they sing of their hope in the [D] sky.
_ [Bm] Maybe you can _ [G] believe it, [D] it might
help you [Bm] to sleep.
Oh, and the singing seemed to [E] work [Em] fine for [A] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So [D]
good night, [G] all you _ moonlight [D] _
[A] ladies.
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _
Rock on by [G] old sweet _ baby [D] _ _ _ James.
_ [Bm] When it's deep greens [G] and blues for [D]
the colors I _ choose.
[Bm] Won't you let [E] me go down in my [D] _ dreams.
[A] _ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ [E] time to rock on [Em] my [A] old sweet baby [D] James. _
