_ _ Good evening everyone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ This evening we _ say _ _ goodbye [F#] to a _
_ _ [F#m] Country superstar unlike anyone else.
_ [G#] _ Mr.
[C#] Charlie pride _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
True voice of his generation _ a pioneer and _ [F#] courageous as they come _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ So I'd like to [G#] dedicate this evening in this _ first part to _ _
life well-lived _ and shared and glorious songs and
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] All those [F#] wonderful things on
_ _ In dedication to mr.
[G#] Charlie pride I was lucky [C#] to
_ _ [G#]
Grow up with his music and have parents.
I loved it and _ [F#] _ he used to [C#] sing a song called all his children I
Being _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ a part of the periphery of my life for so long I think of my family singing those [F#] songs and _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ Well live with me and [G#] in remembrance of him _ _ _ _
_ [C#] Sing this one to start the _ _
_ _ _ When you're standing along
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] With the mountains [C#] and the sea
_ [G#] _
With the arms of this world
_ Open _ wide _ _
_ _ _ Where the truth is as plain _ _ [F#] as the fallen _ _ _ _ _
[G#] And as sure _ _ as the time _ and the time _ _
You [A#m] know
[C#] all _ _ _
his [F#] children
_ _ [C#] His
_ _ Next of kin _ _
_ [G#] _ _ that's the way it began
[G#] _ _ _
No _ _ matter [F#] where _
_ _ Going _ _ [C#] or where? _ _ _ _ _ _
You're [G#] _ part
_ of the family
_ _ [C#] of man _ _ _
_ _ _ When you walk _ down the [C#] road
_ [F#] And the Sun is on your side _
Where the sweet river _ breathe or [G#] your face _ _ _
_ _ [C#] Where you don't hear a sound as [F#] you look
[C#] _ [F#m] Around _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Everything _ sort [G#] of falls _ _ into place
[C#] _ _ You _ know all
_ [F#] _ _ _ Children _ _ [C#] his
_ _ Next of kin _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
that's the way it _ began
_ _ _ No _ matter where
[F#] _ _ You're going _ _ or where?
[G#] _
_ _ You're _ _ _ part
of the family _ _ _
of man
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#] Imagine if you would a
time where the radio
[C#] _ would play songs and
_ _ [G#m] before you'd really discover what anybody looked like you had to actually go to a [D#] theater and
_ [C#] see that person, you know in the flesh and _ _
Imagine [F#] the time in America when racial tensions are higher
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ Just by the date that it is and
_ [G#] _ _
[D#] You go to this amphitheater [A#] somewhere [G#] in the south and
_ [C#]
expecting to see mr.
Charlie pride the song that's sweeping the nation and
_ [F#] _ _ _ This golden velvet voice _ and _ then out walks this
_ _ _ [G#] _ Charming _ _
striking black gentleman who
then proceeds to
change you in ways unimaginable with his [C#] talent and
_ _ _ _ _ It wasn't always easy I imagine
_ _ _ _ [F#] But thank you, mr.
Charlie pride for [C#] _ _ _ helping set a tone and lead the way
[C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You know
_ [F#] _ _ _ [A#m] All his children _ _ [G#] his _ _ next [C#] of kin _ _ _
_ [G#] _ That's the way it _ _ _ _ began _
[G#] No _ [C#] matter [F#] where _
_ _ _ Going _ _ [C#]
or where
You _ _ _ _ you're part
of [G#] the family
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You're [G#] _
part of the _ family
[Fm] _
Oh
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [C#] Just
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ a moment of silence
