Chords for Oprahs Legends Ball feat. Bishop Walter Hawkins, Edwin Hawkins

[Eb] I mean [Bbm] in general.
[Eb] I wanted to bring our daughter so that they could hear about some of these women. _
_ _ _ All right, good morning everybody.
Good morning.
_ _ _ _ I wanted to just _ end the weekend with all of us lifting our [Ab] voice in praise.
[Eb] I almost think that this is going to be the [C] best event because the music [Abm] itself is going to be off the wall _ crazy.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] Is everybody in the [Db] beginning like, oh yes, _ hallelujah. _ _
[Eb] _ What came next surprised _ everybody.
[Ab] I said to Bebe, _ you know what needs [F] to happen.
_ [Db] He said, got it. _
And then it happened.
Gospel singer [Ab] Bebe Winans stepped into the audience and started passing the [G] microphone.
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] Bebe handed the microphone to Shirley Caesar.
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ Oh _ honey, it [Bbm] _ [Fm] was over.
It [F] was all over.
[Gb] It was just over. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] I knew it.
I knew you could not have Gladys [Db] Knight and Dionne Warwick and Patti [Eb] LaBelle and [Gb] Shirley Caesar, [Ab] the mother of gospel music here.
You could not have all of them anywhere [Bbm] _
and not have Jesus show up.
[Eb] Jesus showed up and [Gb] showed out.
So [Ab] glad he changed.
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ Dionne, can you take us down there to watch?
[Db] _
_ I'm _ changed.
_ [Cm] _
_ So [Fm] _ changed. _ _
_ _ And I'm so [Eb] glad.
I'm [Gb] so glad.
So _ _ [Ab] glad. _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] From a [Ab] special _ place.
[Fm] _ He [Db] took [Bbm] away all _ [Eb] the pain.
[Gb] All the pain of the years.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
I'm changed.
_ _ 1980 was [D] _ [Dbm] the [Ab] force. _
It was _ [Db] spectacular.
_ [D] _ [Ebm] _
[C] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] [Gm] These [Db] legendary singers blew [Fm] us away and not [Ab] one note was planned or _ rehearsed.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ I couldn't believe I was sitting there [Ab] watching this go down.
I'm looking at this person and Mike and I'm like, oh [Bbm] man.
_ _ _ _ [Eb]
They were [Gb] passing the mic around.
I'm like, I hope they don't come near us.
[Ab] _ _ For the change.
[Db] _ _
_ From [Ab] this day, we won't walk the same.
_ _ _ We gonna [Bbm] walk taller.
_ _ [Ab] We gonna think higher.
_ [Gb]
We gonna be better.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] It was so funny because all the white folks were like, what is going on here?
_ _ [Bbm] _ My, [Ebm] my Lord, this is really [Ab] something.
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ I'm [Ab] _ _ changed.
I'm changed.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ I said you're a _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] change.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ For [Eb] _ _ the [Bb] rest of my life, I think that [Ebm] may be the most _ [Ab] transcendent, the spiritual moment _ I've ever been part of.
You can't imagine sitting [Bbm] there in this [Eb] spectacular _ [Abm] environment and [Ab] feeling the spirit of God and celebrating the blessings. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ I've never [Bb] experienced [F] anything like this before in my [Ab] life.
So wonderful.
I'm just absolutely [Db] floored and my [Ab] thing leaving here, I'm going to dream bigger and dream [Db] more.
_ He taught [Ab] me _ love.
_ _ _ _ _ He taught me.
_ [Abm] _ _ Yes he did.
[Ebm] It _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _
_ was all clear to [Db] _ me. _
_ [E] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] I'm supposed to continue this [Bm] _ [Ebm] amazing, _ [Db] incredible, how could we [Abm] ever live up to it [Ab] example.
_ _ And we [Db] will.
We will live [Abm] up to it.
Oh, happy day.
Oh, [Ab] happy day.
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
