Chords for Carly Pearce - "Dear Miss Loretta" | Live at the Grand Ole Opry

_ _ _ We absolutely lost one of the greatest that there ever was and will be and as I stand here tonight I
feel _
overwhelmed with just the legacy and the beauty that she is and she was and she
She heard me
Which is quite crazy to me.
I played this song on the Opry stage.
I debuted it just like I'm gonna do it tonight
Loretta happened to be watching the live stream of the grand Ole Opry and heard me sing this song and I just I've never
Played this for anybody publicly, but I felt like tonight
Standing in the Opry stage and in the circle that the honky-tonk angel, which she is now officially a honky-tonk angel
_ That maybe she wants me to to do this.
So this is a message that I got from Loretta Lynn last year _ _ _ _
Honey, I'm in here in bed.
Just taking it easy and
I'm fixing to get up and wash my face.
Maybe comb my hair.
I
Don't know.
I'm not I ain't got no place to go have it
But anyway, I love your song.
Thank you, sweetheart.
I love you, honey
Come and see me sometime _
_ _ _ I've _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ listened to that message a lot today and if that does not capture the
_ Purest form and the essence of her beautiful soul.
I don't know what else does so I love you, too
Loretta and I'm gonna sing your song for you tonight
