Oh he started this, he [G] started that, didn't he?
Gifted, didn't he?
Why didn't they [Em] say that when he was alive?
Because jealousy.
[Am] That's why.
You give me strength to carry [D] on.
But help me understand this, [G] because this is important, because you knew him.
What difference would it have made?
