Chords for MARYJO MUNDY "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MELODY?" A TRIBUTE TO RAY JESSEL

It's amazing because most of you I know from the open mic and I
_ said I was blessed to be able to sing this at Ray's funeral and I said
the only thing in this life that you you know
can be blessed with one of the best things you may bless with is to give people a chance to express themselves and
_ _ Thank you to Clifford who helped me express myself
You're the one that came up with the idea for the open mic you did shows with me
I did all this stuff before and _ _
You're brilliant at helping people express themselves, and I'm very honored
That you continue to give me a place to do that Clifford, so thank you so much to Clifford Bell
_ _ _ _ And to your cab Arabia podcast it gives so many other people and you know
I'm just blessed to know everybody in this room most of the people who got nothing saying
Started singing at the open mic which is kind of fun.
