Chords for Dixie Hummingbirds - Carl Davis joins The Birds

_ _ While James Walker replaced himself, we have a fellow with us, Carl Davis.
_ _ And Walker had been working with him in New York.
I went over _ and sat and talked with them and I rehearsed with them two days.
_ After I rehearsed with them on the two days,
they sat there that night in rehearsal and gave me a sign which meant,
you are now a Hummingbird.
And I said to myself, Carl, this is it. _
[G#] The other day when we were talking [B] about this.
This is one of the new songs?
[E] Yeah, yeah.
_ [F#m] What you could do [G#] is like when [G] I hit it,
[E] and I put you [F#] on to really [F#m] _ [E] just put your pressure on the beginning [G] of it.

[Em] _ _ And the [G#] Dixie Hummingbirds being a singer,
you have to be a full all around singer to be able to sing every part.
[Em] Not just sing it, but sing it well.

because singing all the different voices
and developing the unique sound and style that they have. _

[C#m] _ [E] Sing, Paul.
Well, I've been to [A] the water.
[E] [F#] I've been there.
My soul is like an empty [A] well.
[E] I've been there to be satisfied.
Well, if you don't, you don't believe me.
_ [B] And all that power in me comes down [E] by Jordan's stream.
Look at me, I've [B]
stepped in the water.
The water got so cold.
[E] God, it killed the [C#m] feel of my body.

Praise, praise, [E] praise the Lord.

_ _ I've been told by the [F#] group several times that [C#m] they would like for [B] me to continue with the group when they retire.
_ I would like to do that, but it's not going to be easy because you're going to have to find singers who are really experienced.
Singers with good voices. _
Singers with a lifestyle, with a good family background, church background.
It's going to take all of that.
_ And you've got to go out today and handpick those kind of singers.
It's going to take time.
But I'm very observant in every city and state and town we go into.
I listen to a lot of the great singers.
Hoping that when that time comes, I'll find great singers to continue carrying on the name of the [N] Dixie Hummingbirds.
