Chords for Patti Smith - (8/13) - People who Died (2010/07/21)

[G#] _ _ _ Last September 11th, we lost one of our greatest poets, Jim Carroll.
Jim Carroll was for my generation, mine and Lenny's, the most beautiful of poets, celebrated
by his fathers, Allen Ginsberg and William [N] Burroughs and Gregory Corso.
_ Jim wrote the basketball diaries, he wrote beautiful and blessed poetry, and he wrote this song.
He wrote this song to remember his friends who died.
And now we will sing it for him.
And we want all of you to remember your friends or loved ones who died and celebrate.
Call out their names and remember.
