Chords for JOHNNY MAESTRO TRIBUTE BY BOWZER AND KENNY VANCE

[Eb] Maestro ever sang in public.
And you know, we knew his health hadn't been good, but
[N]
you know, kind of we were being told it was his heart, but it really turned out it was cancer.
And, you know, [Bbm] you could tell last year, I'm sure [B] those of you who were here, how fit he was, and how
you know, he just didn't look [A] well, he looked frail.
And, _ [B] when they started the set, you know, I was worried about him the whole day.
[Gb] They cancelled a bunch of shows before [E] this, but, you know, he really planned
_ [F] for this to be his last public performance.
He wanted [Ab] it to be here.
[G] He had played at the Bohemian [E] Sun [Bm] dozens of [E] times over the [Ab] years, and he loved [B] this building,
he loves the hospitality that, you know, is always [Fm] present here.
And he wanted this to [Db] be his last show, and it [Eb] was. _
[F] _ Usually, you know, this show is [Ebm] kind of a long show because everybody's really talented on it, and everybody needs some [Ab] time.
_ _ _ [B] Usually, _ the village in on what really happened last year, which was one of the most otherworldly,
anyone [Ab] who was here knows that when the sound [N] came out of that frail body, it was otherworldly.
He sounded as [Eb] good or better than [N] ever. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And almost every time, I think every time, he said like the show, _ four times I think in the ten years,
and every time the last song in the [Db] show has been the [E] worst that could happen, [Eb] and then, you know, it's kind of a long show, the show's over.
Last year, they sang the worst that [D] could happen, still sounding glorious.
[C] _ I came out to [Ab] take them off, _ [B] and [Ebm] get them [Eb] a hand, you know, for the end of the [E] show.
[Eb] And Johnny [Cm] turned and looked at me [Ab] in a way that I'd never seen him look [E] before.
He was a very quiet [Eb] guy, really _ wonderful guy, but never said much.
He turned [E] and looked at me, didn't say a [Bm] word, but looked at me [Cm] in a way [G] that, to [Ebm] me, meant, [F] I need to [E] do another song.
[F] I need to do one more.
And so I asked you if it was [G] okay if we did [E] another song, and of course, everybody went wild.
[Ab] And then, _ _ he sang the song that I think he had [E] planned to be the last song that he ever sang in public.
[C] So in tribute [Am] to Johnny Maestro, [Bb] I've asked [Ab] Kenny Vance to _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _

afraid _ _ _ of [G] the dark,
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ At the [Dm] end of _ _ [Bb] the storm, _ _ _ _
[F] There's a golden _ _ _ _
[Dm] sky,

song [F] _ _ [E] of the _ lark.
