I wrote the song for Bonnie Raitt when I met Bonnie.
It was back in 1970.
Warner Cook, something like that.
She had just gotten out of college.
[Gb] [Em]
[Eb] [Em] [B]
[F] [Ab] So I wrote the song [Eb] for her.
Somebody hammered on her.
I [N]
never really had the confidence to play it for her or tell her that I wrote it for her.
Years later, a woman named Susan told me that she told Bonnie.
[B] I said, well, they saw Bonnie, but she didn't hear [D] you.
You'll find out later, Kate.
Anyway, yeah, it's called Blues on Holiday.
