So,
[A] the [Cm] first [G]
[Em] time I ever came to CBGB's was Easter of [Ab]
1974 and Lenny K [Eb] and I came and
[Em] we came to see [Eb] television.
There [N] was about, [Em] I don't know, maybe 10 or 11 people there and for me it was one of the
greatest [E] nights of my life because I [Em] saw a band that for me was the future and validated
that we truly had kin and so [F] tonight we salute [Db] television and
[G] Tom, [B]
we were recording with
Tom last night and he reluctantly sends his love.
[Ab] And of course we have Richard [F] Lloyd.
