[Ab] One of [Abm] the most special moments for me as a songwriter was going to the Royal Albert Hall in London
with my partner Bernie Klobber, who writes for Words, to see Frank Sinatra.
And he was brilliant.
And little did we know that halfway through his set he introduced us from the stage
and he sang this song, and I'll never forget it.
It's called Sorry Seems to Be a [Gm] Hard Word.
