And Quinn I was a [Gb] disc jockey there in most shows [G] area at that time
He was [Gb] invited to this Christmas party and he
[A] Heard me.

You know the [N] feeling I
Guess we could go to where you said the old studio
And Quinn I be had a little record store
Quinn be music
The studio was right here
Right [Bb] here.
So about six weeks later and Quinn [A] I be so you remember [A] that song you were singing
[Ab] He said well if you want to write some strong [D] lyrics around
That feeling I [Gb] think you probably get your hit record.
I'm fixing to [Db] hold up a studio
[Gb]
It used to be a bar
[Db] It was called the Bluebird Cafe
And people used to get killed in there stabbed [Db] and shit
Back in the 50s.
I never [Gb] wrote a song before my life.
I said plus I see no [Db] ideas
When a man loves a woman [Em] I say you can't think [Eb] anyway, he said that's [C] that's it
If you [Ab] can just write
That [D] story that you feel why did [Db] you leave me about a [Ab] man loves a woman?
[G] But all he did so I would [Ab] like to start writing.
I'm just [N] just pushing a pencil.

That it would come out like it did the lyrics to that song are
It's a songwriters dream you take line by line and you will not find as many
Lines are [E] as strong [Bm] in that song is [N] almost any song you'll ever run into
So I'm still just as green as onions, you know
[Abm] So he [A] gave me he took away all [N] the nearness from me and go see I was singing like Smokey Robinson temptation
