About Soul
[Asus4/D][Dm] [Asus4/D][Dm]
[Bbsus4/Eb][Eb] [Bbsus4/Eb][Eb]
She [Dm]waits for me at [Am7/C]night
She [Bb]waits for me in [Am7/C]silence
She [Dm]gives me all her [Am7/C]tenderness
[Gm]And takes away [Gm/A]my [Bb]pain
[C]
And so [Dm]far she hasn't [Am7/C]run
Though I [Bb]swear she's had her
[Am7/C]moments
She [Dm]still believes in [Am7/C]miracles
[Gm]while others [Gm/A]cry in [Bb]vain
It's all about [F]soul
[C/E][Bb/D]
It's all about [F/C]faith
and a deeper de[C/G]votion
It's all about [F/A]soul
[C][Bb]
'Cause under the [F/C]love
is a stronger e[C/G]motion
She's got to be [Dm]strong
[G]
'Cause so many [C]things
getting out of con[F]trol
Should drive her [Bb]away,
so why does she [F/A]stay?
It's all about
[Asus4/D]soul[Dm] [Asus4/D][Dm]

[Bbsus4/Eb][Eb]
She [Dm]turns to me some[Am7/C]times
And [Bb]asks me what I'm [Am7/C]dreaming
And I [Dm]realize I [Am7/C]must
have gone
[Gm]A million miles [Gm/A]a[Bb]way
[C]
And I [Dm]ask her how she [Am7/C]knew
To [Bb]reach out for me that [Am7/C]moment
And she [Dm]smiles because it's
[Am7/C]understood
[Gm]there are no words [Gm/A]to [Bb]say
It's all about [F]soul
[C/E][Bb/D]
It's all about [F/C]knowing
what someone is [C/G]feeling
The woman's got [F/A]soul
[C][Bb]
The power of [F/C]love
and the power of [C/G]healing
This life isn't [Dm]fair
[G]
It's gonna get [C]dark,
it's gonna get [F]cold
You've got to get [Bb]tough,
but that ain't e[F/A]nough
It's all about
[Asus4/D]soul[Dm] [Asus4/D][Dm]

There are [Dm]people who have
[Am7/C]lost
Every [Bb]trace of human [Am7/C]kindness
There are [Dm]many who have [Am7/C]fallen
There are [Gm]some who still [Gm/A]sur[Bb]vive
[C]
She [Dm]comes to me at [Am7/C]night
And she [Bb]tells me her [Am7/C]desires
And she [Dm]gives me all the [Am7/C]love
I need
[Gm]To keep my faith [Gm/A]a[Bb]live
It's all about [F]soul
[C/E][Bb/D]
It's all about [F/C]joy
that comes out of [C/G]sorrow
It's all about [F/A]soul
[C][Bb]
Who's standing [F/C]now
and who's standing to[C/G]morrow
You've got to be [Dm]hard
[G]
Hard as the [C]rock
in that old rock 'n' [F]roll
But that's only [Bb]part,
you know in your [F/A]heart
It's all about

(Repeat with same chords)
I seen the lights go out on
Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet
You know we almost didn^Òt notice
it
We seen it all the time
On Forty-Second street
They burned the churches up in
Harlem
Like in that Spanish civil war
The flames were everywhere
But no one really cared
It always burned up there before
I seen the lights go out on
Broadway
I watched the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the
battery
The union went on strike
They never sailed at all
They sent a carrier out from
Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free
They said that Queens could stay
They blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out at sea
You know those lights were bright
on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in
Florida
Before the Mafia
Took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive
("alive" is on a G/D
chord, I play it X55433)

2.Now Tom at the bar is a friend
of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or a
light up your smoke,
But there's some place that's he'd
rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe
this is killing me,"
As the smile ran away from his
face
"Well, I'm sure that I could
be a movie star
If I could get out of this
place."
Oh, la da da ditty da
La da ditty da da dum
(Chorus)
3.Now Paul is a real estate
novelist
Who Never had time for a wife
And he's talking to Davy who's
still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the Waitress is practicing
politics
As the businessmen slowly get
stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they
call Lonliness,
But it's better than drinking
alone
(Piano Solo)Em Em7
A7 C Em

D D7 GD D
(Chorus)
4.It's a pretty good crowd for a
Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me
they've been coming to see
To forget about life for awhile
And the piano sounds like a
carnival
And the microphone smells like a
beer
And they sit at the bar and put
bread in my jar
And say, "Man, whatta you
doin' here?"
Oh, la da da ditty da
La da ditty da da dum
(Chorus[play last few chords
slowly])
