Intro 1

Verse 1
1962, he was a boy
G 
who went to New York town
D 
He thought he knew the answers,
A 
he thought he'd been around
C 
A woman with an angel's face
D 
was opening the door that
A 
changed his mind
Em 
He was not the first young man
G 
who tried to bet her down
D 
She knew that she could pick and choose,
A 
she chose to pick on him
C 
They became two animals
D 
Em 
It was somehow meant to be
Once or twice she left him
G 
For a dark and barren shore
D 
And once she left a not -born child
A 
Never told him more
C 
And as it went, it went to hell,
D 
A 
their heat had turned to winter snow
E 
Em 
She moved up north to Canada
G 
and had a baby there
D 
Her daughter soon became a star
A 
and she, her jealous friend
C 
They say it slowly kills you,
D 
if you follow and pretend
Em 
G 
D 
He was the man
A 
G 
she taught to fly
D 
A 
She gave him wings to reach the sky

G 
He was the man she taught to fly
D 
A 
Em 
She gave him wings to reach the sky
She never seemed to find the page
G 
that said you're number one
D 
It didn't really matter
A 
that her daughter had become
C 
The one who learned to
sing and dance so well
D 
A 
But she knew it in her heart and soul
Em 
After years in second place,
G 
she finally took a chance
D 
She moved down west to Hollywood,
A 
where they say it never rains
C 
But her daughter got the series,
D 
Em 
and there it was again, the pain
G 
Now age was showing on her face,
her body not as young
D 
The years of anger take their toll,
A 
the ending had begun
C 
Then one dark December day she died
D 
A 
and no one seemed to care
C 
D 
Except her daughter and a man
Em 
G 
near sixty years
D 
A 
He was the man she taught to fly
G

Em 
In the Spirit, you
