Well, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you didn't really recognize him right off the [Eb] bat.
The great producer, the singer, the songwriter, all those things.
Because he shaved his head.
I don't quite know why he did that.
Maybe just for the holiday season so he could
Especially in the winter, it's a really good idea to shave your head.
Anyway, he has a new DVD [Em] and it's called Live in Lille.
And you were in France and you recorded this.
So you're gonna do a song from it.
Which one?
Because you've changed your mind.
Yeah, Don't Be Crush we're gonna do this morning.
Okay, Don't Be Crush.
An old song but new.
Very old song.
Would you like the lyrics?
We got them just in case you forgot them.
I love having lyrics handy on TV because I always forget things.
Oh, do you?
Oh, good.
Well, you can just make it up.
You just go la la la la la.

She likes the sound.

[F] An airline water breaking fast.
In [C] New York City, low on [A] cash.
[Dm] Another week and you'll be back.
[Bb] And you'll be saying home at last.

[F]
crying.
[C] [F]
[C] And [F] the city will always bug you, baby.
And I know for me it feels the same.
[A] [Dm] It's pretty I suppose from inside a plane.
That's [Bb] heading for another place.
[A] But [F] wave and blow me one more kiss.
Cause you're [C] a dead eye, baby.
You simply [A] never miss.
[Dm] There's not much else as sweet as this.
