Chords for Orbison, Roy TV Ricky Nelson Tribute Interview By Roy Orbison

Television was fairly new in those days and and there was Ricky on television
And he would sing his maybe debut his songs.
I know the first one of the first songs he ever did
Sold a million the first week.

I might have even underrated Ricky a little bit
although _

I had a song called running scared
Which was number one and Ricky knocked it out of number [E] one with hello, Mary
