And she got it, it was so beautiful.
He wrote to us beforehand, Adam [Eb] said we've got this letter from this fella who wants to propose to this lady and he got up and Adam and I were sitting on the doos like this and he got up and got the microphone and shaking like this and [Abm] he said, you know, my darling and had this whole speech prepared, [G] my darling and will you marry me and she yelled out, no!
[Eb] God we love her.
We loved her answer.
[G] [D]
She did say yes, didn't she?
She did say yes.
[Ab] I'm sure she did.
Bless her.
And we sang that song.
[D] Was it the Don Williams song?
[Ab] I know I used to be a nervous wreck, I don't know about you, you were [Gb] Tom T.
Hall but [Eb] when I'm around people like that I just, normally [Bb] you can't shut me up as you know [A] but I just turn into [Em] a [F] blubbering mess.
I remember the time I [Bb] introduced you to Willie Nelson, do you remember [Eb] that?
In [A] Melbourne when you were singing with Willie down in Melbourne.
It was the Rod Laver Theatre, I got the Willie Nelson support and it was [C] such a coup for me, I was just amazed every night and when I got to Melbourne, it was before he'd moved to New South Wales, [Gb] I rang Adam and I said you have to come and [Eb] you already had tickets didn't you and I said [A] please come and sing a song [D] with me, it'll add punch to my [Eb] show and this was years ago.
[C] And yeah it was probably the first time we [Ab] were singing together and I [F] invited you backstage, do you remember that?
Oh god yeah, we get [Gb] backstage there to meet Willie Nelson and Dick says come on, come on into Willie's room and anyway they open up the door to the room and of course it looks like someone's been [B] burning the toast in [A] there, you can't see the smoke, it's [Gb] old Willie loves the electric cabbage, I don't know if you know [G] that.
[B] Anyway and out through this [A] mist comes this guy about four foot high, looked like a jockey and he said hey I'm Willie Nelson.
And you know what, Adam was so nervous he [Db] put his hand out and he said I'm Adam Brand.
