_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Db] _
_ [G] _ _ _ Oh, I'm sure you're saying to yourself,
what is JB Fletcher [D] doing here in Salt Lake [Eb] City?
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Well, let me tell you [E] that when I received the invitation
[F] to be a guest of the great [E] Mormon _ _ [Eb] Cabernacle
Choir [Gb] for their Christmas program,
my first [E] reaction was, _ oh [Bb] my goodness, what a lovely honor.
[A] _ And then I [E] thought to myself, [C] yes,
but what could I [Db] _ [Bb] possibly bring [G] to this [C] extraordinary [F] yearly event? _
_ [G] Well, many of you [D] have known me for a number of years
for motion [Ab] pictures and [C] more [Ab] recently as Jessica [E] Fletcher
in Murder, She Wrote.
[Db] But you know, before I came to television,
[A] I spent a number of years on Broadway [E] appearing in musicals
like [Em] Mame and [Gm] Gypsy and Sweeney [Em] Todd and, [A] as they say,
singing and dancing [G] and carrying on.
_ [Ab] Anyway, then [G] came Disney's [C] _ [D] Bedknobs and [C] Broomsticks,
[E] and that [Ab] brought me back to the movies. _
[G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ And Beauty and the Beast followed,
and I [Abm] was suddenly in an animated [Ab] movie
[Db] as the voice [Gb] of the beloved little teapot, _ Mrs.
Potts.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And you know, thinking about [Eb] that,
it struck me _ _ [Bb] what it was that [D] I could bring to this event.
[Bb] And it was the voice _ that many of the children of our [G] country
have learned to recognize.
_ _ You know, the attacks of the last September [Fm] the 11th
have had an [D] immeasurable impact on the minds
and [E] _
indeed the lives of [Abm] millions of children throughout America.
[Em] _ Their little fears and often secret terrors,
[Gb] they need to be addressed [D] so very carefully.
And all of us, [G]
grandparents, parents, aunts, [Abm] uncles,
we all have to try to do everything that we possibly can
to _ reassure these [Eb] little ones that they are safe [E] and loved
_ and that good will triumph over evil and right will prevail.
[C] You know, _ [Eb] _ I _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ believe this lovely song that [G] I sang in [Eb] Sweeney Todd
by the great Stephen Sondheim really says it [Db] all. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] Nothing's gonna [Eb] harm you, _ _ _ not while [F] I'm [Eb] around. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Nothing's gonna harm you, no, sir, _ not while I'm around.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _
Demons are prowling everywhere _ _ nowadays.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
I'll send [Bb] them howling, I don't care, _ I've [Ebm] got _ _ ways.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna [Bbm] _ dare. _ _ _
_ [Ab] Others may desert you, not to worry, [Db] whistle, I'll be there.
[Ab] _
_ _ [Db] Demons will charm you with a _ smile [Cm] for a while, _
but [Fm] in _ time [E] _ _
_ [Ab] nothing _ can harm you, _ not while _ _ I'm _ around. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] Being close and being clever ain't like being true.
[E] _ _ [A] _ I don't need to, I won't never hide [Gbm] a thing from [E] you _ [Db] like some_ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] No one's gonna hurt you, _ [D] no one's gonna dare.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle, [G] I'll be there.
_ Demons [A] _ [D] _ will charm you with [E] a smile [Dbm] for a while, _
[Gbm] but in _ [F] _ time _ nothing _ _ _ [Dbm] can harm you, _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ not _
_ [Bm] while _ _ _ _ [A]
I'm around. _ _ _ _ _
