Intro
(Slow, 6/8 Time)
(Guitar solo, piano arpeggios, +cymbals)
(Tremolo guitar and piano, +drums +strings)
Verse 1
(Piano block chords, +drums)
I remember you back in nineteen-fifty-six.
You had all the moves and you knew all the tricks.
You left all the ladies in a hell of a fix,
When your voice took wings.
(Piano arpeggios, +drums)
Then you'd shake around and oh, how'd you sing,
Just an old boy from Memphis with a big diamond ring.
A country girl's prayer and a city girl¡¯s dream;
Hail the king.
Chorus
(All)
But it¡¯s all right now.
Keep on singin' loud.
It¡¯s all right now.
Heaven should be proud.
Verse 2
(Piano block chords, +drums)
The fifties left town on a crowded dance floor.
The sixties came in with a bang and a roar.
The world heard a knock it was Janice at the door;
They let her in.
(Piano arpeggios, +strings +drums)
And when it seemed this whole world was falling apart,
The houselights would fall and the music would start.
She'd be givin¡¯ us all a piece of her heart,
Once again.
Chorus
(All)
But it¡¯s all right now.
Keep on singin' loud.
It¡¯s all right now.
Heaven should be proud.
Instrumental
(Tremolo guitar and piano, +drums +strings)
Verse 3
(Piano block chords, +drums)
It was October in St. Louis town,
When we heard that the Free Bird had fell to the ground;
We all said a prayer before we went down,
To play.
(Piano arpeggios, +strings +drums)
And Ronnie, my buddy, above all the rest,
I miss you the most and I loved you the best,
And now that you¡¯re gone I thank God I was blessed
Just to know you.
Chorus
(All)
But it¡¯s all right now.
Keep on singin' loud.
It¡¯s all right now.
Heaven should be proud.
