And if you don't know this next act, you're in for a real treat.
They're a national treasure.
So much talent at such a young age that you just want to slap [F] them.
[C]
[A] The Cotters are [E] already seasoned veterans of the music business,
and they're still in their teens.
The reason they do it is simple.
They love it.
We [A] became instant best friends, and we thought,
[C] why not perform together?
[Am] And that's how we became the Cotters.
[D#] In 2003, [A#] their performance at the East Coast Music Awards
was the [D#] showstopper and earned them a Gemini nomination.
[B] And [D] last year, they performed with the gods of the Celtic music world,
the Chieftains.
They remind me of the [A] band when we started 43 years ago,
[D] full of go-go, you know?
And I think it's only a matter of time now before they take the throne.
The Cotters have already played throughout the United States,
in Europe, and in Japan, and they just keep getting better.
[N] [A#] Ladies and gentlemen, they're slappable and they're wonderful.
Please welcome the Cotters!

[A] [D] There's nothing left that he can hold

[D] I'm ready [E] for the [C#m] storm
I'm ready [F#m] for the [B] storm
Oh, [F#m] and give me mercy for my [A] dreams
Cause every confrontation [D] seems to tell me what it really means
[E] To be this [C#m] lonely sailor
[F#m] And when you take me by your [A] side
You have me worn
And [D] I should have realized
I [E] had no reason to be frightened
[F#m] I [D] am ready [E] for the storm

[A] [C#] [D] [C#]
[F#m] A moment's distance is no real friend
[A] Then time will take its [E] side
And you [D] will find that in the end
It brings [E] you me, the lonely [C#m] sailor
[F#m] When the sky begins to clear
[E] And the sun [A] it melts away my fear
[D] I'll cry a silent, weary tear
[E] For those that need [C#m] to love me
[F#m] I [D] am ready for [E] the storm
[C#m] Yes, already [F#m] I am [D] ready for [E] the storm
