Tribute to a king Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Listen, people, [Bm]listen
[A]I'm gonna sing you [G]a song
[F]About a man [G]who lived good
But [Asus4]didn't live too long

[Verse 2]
He was [D]born in Macon, Geor[Bm]gia
A [A]poor boy without [G]a dime
He [F]found his way to Mem[G]phis
Singing [Asus4]These Arms Of [D]Mine

[Verse 3]
[D](CHORUS)[C#m]
Otis, Otis [Bm]Redding was [D]his name
[G]Without his soulful [F]singing
This old [Asus4]world won't be the same

[Verse 4]
Now he [D]traveled on [Bm]to Frisco
[A]New York and [G]abroad
[F]Everywhere [G]he sang
The [Asus4]people would applaud

[Verse 5]
One [D]day he left Geor[Bm]gia
[A]Wisconsin [G]bound
But he [F]didn't get [G]to sing that night
The [Asus4]plane he was in went dow[D]n[C#m]

[Verse 6]
[Bm](CHORUS)
He was [D]a[G][F][Asus4]
[D]soul music sing[Bm]er
The [A]king of the Memphis [G]sound
It [F]makes me feel so [G]sad
Cause [Asus4]now he ain't around

[Verse 7]
He [D]died with his gui[Bm]tar
[A]Close to his [G]hands
But his [F]soul lives on [G]today
In the [Asus4]heart of a million fan[D]s

[Verse 8]
Talking [D]about
[C#m](CHORUS)

[Verse 9]
Otis, Otis [Bm]Redding was
[D]his name[G][F][E][Asus4]
[D]His[A] pic[C#m]ture[Bm][D][G]
oughta be hun[F]g
In the [Asus4]music hall of [D]fame

[Verse 10]
[D]Otis, [C#m]he was known [Bm]as Big O[A]
[D]Otis, [C#m]we gon[Bm]na miss him so[A]
[D]Otis, ooh, [C#m]yeah,
[Bm]We gonna miss hi[A]m so[D]
