[Dbm] Last night in Los Angeles, Terry Tapp put what he thought [Db] was an empty pistol to his
head.
The rock music star [D] from Chicago pulled the trigger.
He was killed instantly.
Terry forgot that he had a round chamber.
[Dbm] And he took the grip out and he didn't clear the chamber.
The gun went off.
And he said he [D] just kind of laid his head back on the back of the [A] chair and he was gone.
Sleepless hours and clear as night and far away.
[Gm] Ooh, [Gb]
[B] wishing you [D] were here.
[Ab] Heaven [Db] knows and Lord it shows when I'm away.

Ooh, wishing you were here.

now, now that [Gb] you're near, [Bbm] promise [D] your love that I've waited [G] to share
[Eb] and dreams of our moments [C] together.
Color my world [F]
with hope [Bb] [C] of [F] loving you.
[C] Hendrix told me, [Em]
he [C] says, I'm pretty good man.
But this kid blows me away.
