sometimes I would be up there and we'd just be playing together _ and
He would come up with things and occasionally he'd show things and occasionally we would just jam

I was up at the house again, and I said you remember that piece of music
He showed me and he said no [F#m] and I said well when I played it for me goes, okay
well, [D#] here's another part for it _ and
_ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _

Think the definition of a genius is a person that's able to
[Dm] _ [D] Call into play this inspiration very simply and [F] organically at any time they [D#] want and [A] I saw I've seen Frank do this
