Song For Duke

Tom: C

Introdução:

                                                         C 
I didn?t even know the man
                                     Dm 
I didn?t know the man himself
                                             G 
Even though his music filled my life
                                       C 
As it has so many others
                                                           C 
I knew that he had died that week
                                               Dm 
After fighting death a year or more
                                 G 
But I had had a rule before
                                                                   C 
That funerals were a waste of flowers
                                           Am 
But something said I had to go
                                               Em 
To be a witness to his gift of love
                                                     F 
A man who never once gave up on life
                         Dm                           G 
Until death took him in its tracks
                                                         C 
The people stood around the church
                                                               Dm 
Ten thousand people there they say or more
                                         G 
Black and white and rich and poor
                                                                         C 
Together they were there to say farewell
                                                                         C 
In New York City it had rained that day
                                                                 Dm 
The streets were silver and the sky was gray
                                                 G 
In the church the music sailed and sang
                                                                                 C 
And seemed to fill the air with shining sun
                             Am 
The man was a hero
                                         Em 
He played the music of our souls
                                         F 
He knew that we all have in us
                             Dm                       G 
A place where beauty always grows
                                               C 
Outside in the streets again
                                                                 Dm 
The people wandered through the falling rain
                                                       G 
They waved their hands and dried their tears
                                                                         C 
And turned to go about their lives again
                                                       C 
But none of us will be the same
                                                     Dm 
If we hear the things his music says
                                       G 
That loving is the gift of life
                                                                 C 
And making music was his way of love
                             Am 
The man was a hero
                                     Em 
He sang the music of our souls
                                         F 
He knew that we all have in us
                             Dm                       G 
A place where beauty always grows
                 C 
Always grows
