MCA makes you huge [E] stars, especially the [D#] call of haters.
My buddy, Vince.

_ _ _ Surprised to be back, happy [D#] to see you.
_ _ _ [B] Truth be told, I came last year and I'd spent [N] 23 years with MCA Records and UMG Universal Records. _
_ _ _ I love that relationship and I came in last year and just said, you know,
my _ contract's done over [D] there [E] and there was no weirdness, there was no,
and all of a sudden I [D] see on the, everywhere [C#] they're talking about it, this and that,
they split up and I said, man, all that happened, the [B] contract ran out. _ _
And the neatest thing happened, Mike Duncan, [B] after he took over, [F#] called me up and he said,
hey, [D] _
[F#] I want to make a record with you.
I said, done, so [D] I'm back.
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] I'm racking my brain for what [D] to sing.
I've been doing this for nearly 40 years and pick one song to come and sing and I, _ _
[F#] I don't really know what to do right now.
[G] I don't have a new record yet, [D] I'm going to start soon, [A#] but I will be going for Ants Tuesday.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I know that one.
_ [E] _
I guess only Friends [D] records, no.
But [G] I came to the conclusion that this might be the most [B] appropriate thing to sing today
_ and I want to do [D] it _ because this is a holy place.
This place was built as a tabernacle over 100 years ago and it's [D] a [A]
very revered and holy place.
And I want to do this song in remembrance of Sweet Mindy McCready. _
She was a mess.
She had a struggle in life like most people don't even imagine.
And I didn't know her well.
_ I thought it really appropriate that I [A#] sing a song for her.
[D] She was _ part of the history of country music in Alabama. _ _

I know your life, _ on earth, strong. _ _ _
[G] Don't want to hear that [D] _
good old day. _
When we're free, _ faith and love. _
You were [A] no _ stranger [B] _
[D] to me. _ _ _
Who lives _ highly _ on that _ _ _ _ starry moon _ on earth's dove? _ _
Won't you [G] wait _ [D] for a shadow? _
Love for the [A] father _ and the son. _ _
Oh how they cried the day you left us. _ _
[D] Gathered round _ your grave to grieve. _
I could see _ [G]
the [D] angels' faces. _ _ _
[A] Lay _ _ with your [D] sweet voice. _ _ _
Who lives _ highly on that mountain? _ _
[E] So pure [D] and lay on [A] [D] earth's dove. _ _
Won't you wait _ [Gm] _ [D]
for a shadow? _ _
[G] Love for the father [A] _ _
[D] and the son. _ _ _
