Michelle in a 15 year old schoolgirl was brutally beaten and thrown from a
speeding train left for dead for two weeks she would remain in the coma so
deep the doctors feared she [A] might never come out in desperation Michelle's
parents reached out for a miracle [E] they thought it would be a good idea [Ab] to get
to like trigger off the brainwaves to get some sparkle recognition and by
doing that they suggested that Roy Orbison's music would be a very good
idea because I really love Roy Orbison almost from the day she was taken to [F] the
hospital [G] unconscious they had played Roy Orbison songs by her [D] bedside she was
[G] Orbison's biggest fan in the world she [D] had often said [G]
[C] [G] but [D] as the days passed
without sign of recovery it became clear something more was needed a simple
request was made across the Atlantic could Roy send Michelle a personal
message Orbison wasn't the kind of guy who needed to be asked twice
this [N] is Roy Orbison anytime someone likes to listen to my music the things that I sing and songs that I write and that pleases me very much
his immediate response even made London news broadcasts I'll be coming to England
fairly soon and if you will write me and let me know your address and [Ab] I'll
write back to you [Eb] and let you know when I'm coming
[F] Roy's message was simple and generous Michelle's parents indeed all of Britain
waited and prayed [Am] Roy's widow Barbara recalled how concerned Orbison was for
[Bb] the young girl he had never met [G] I know that immediately [D] he went to the tape
recorder [N] and he gave her a personal message and we send it to England I
think by Roy sending the tape regardless what the outcome would have been you
know he felt that he at least did his best to make a [G] difference you know and
[Gm] then on the Tuesday of the second week of Michelle's coma it happened Michelle
Booth opened her eyes and then she squeezed [D] the hand of her doctor [A] I'm not
sure how it [Gm] worked I'm not sure how the brain works [E] or anything like that but I
just know that while I was in the coma I knew that Roy Orbison was speaking to me
and maybe that was there and the fact that he'd also invited me backstage to
meet him when I came out of the coma maybe that was part of the reason why I
made such an effort to pull myself out of the coma and to sort of face the
world so I knew that I was going to one day meet Roy Orbison my dream
[G] months later Roy Orbison would take time to [D] visit the girl whose life he had
changed I remember I was so excited that morning I just couldn't keep still just
flitting around here there and [Abm] everywhere just waiting to see Roy Orbison
turn up and sure [N] enough about lunchtime the big car drove up at the front at the
front gate and he should step up with Roy Orbison and his brother Sam I thanked
him for helping me thanked him very much for the tape gave him a huge great
big hug and kiss and then we sort of settled down it was if I'd known him all
my life he was such an easy person to talk to Roy's widow Barbara knows the
kind of man Roy Orbison [D] was to all those around him music actually can heal today
Michelle is happily married [Db] but her taste in music hasn't changed the name
[B] of her favorite singer hasn't changed [F] it will only ever be one [A] idol only one
Roy [E] Orbison [Bm] I'd like to just tell him although he's [Abm] he's really gone he's
still there in my heart and always be there in his songs and what I always
play and I still love him forever
