Chords for AT THIS MOMENT - Billy Vera Big Band

When I started performing, _ _ we were playing an engagement at the Apollo Theater in New York,
and Jackie Wilson, who was a friend of mine, the great Jackie Wilson, [B] came backstage.
He said,
Billy, thank you, Mrs.
Wilson.
[Ab] He came back, he said, if you ever get lucky enough to have a big,
big, big hit record, he said, make sure you do it every single night that you play, because
that's the only reason they're [Bm] paying their little two dollars to come and see [E] you.
And this is that [Ab] song.

_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [B] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] What did you think [Bbm] I would do at this moment, _ [Bb] when you're standing before me,
[Eb] with tears in your _ eyes, [Abm] trying to tell me that [Db] you _ [Abm] _ found [Db] your lover, _ [Abm] and you just [Bbm] don't love me no
[Gb]
more.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Gb] What did you think I [Bbm] would say at this moment, _ [Bb] when I'm faced with the knowledge
_ [Eb] that you just don't love me.
[Abm] Did you think I [Db] would curse you,
[Abm] would say [Db] things to hurt you, [Abm] because you just [Db] don't love me no [Gb] more.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] Did you think I [Bbm] could hate you, _ [B] _ raise my [Gb] hands to [Abm] you, [B] now come on, [Bbm] you know me too [Gb] well.
_ _ _ [Eb] Now did I [Bbm] hurt you, [B] _ when darling I [Gb] love you, when [Abm] you know _ _ [B] I've never hurt you.
[Bbm]
What [Gb] _ do you think [Bbm] I would give at this moment, _ [Bb] if you'd say I'd subtract [Eb] 20 years from my life.
I'd [Abm] _
fall down [Db] on my [Abm] knees, kiss the [Db] ground that you walk [Abm] on, if I could just [Gb] hold you.
_ I'd _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ fall [Db] down on my knees, [Abm] kiss the ground that [Db] you walk on, baby, [Abm] if I could [Db] just [Bbm] hold you.
_ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Abm] If I _ _ could just [Db] hold you. _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ If I _ _ could _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
just [E] hold you.
