I was first introduced to Diane Birch watching 'Live at Daryl's House' on the television. Let me tell first off, this gal is mega-talented. I loved her from the beginning with her 'Carole King' type voice and she sure can play the keys... I believe the violin, too. Are you familiar with this young lady? Check her out on YouTube.
There's a couple of songs that I really like. Nothing Close To A Miracle and Fools are very popular.
Here's a chord chart to Fools and here's the video on YouTube.
intro: C#/Eb Ebm
C#/Eb Ebm C#/Eb Ebm C#/Eb Ebm
Fo- ols knockin' on my door, calling out my name
C#/Eb Eb Eb7
Tellin' me to change my ways but I know
Abm7 C#7 Abm7 C#7
Two hands in the fire won't put out the flame
Abm7 C# Ebm
Yeah, I got your number, I know your game
Abm7 C#7 F# B Bsus4 B
So why should I- I lay it on the li- -ne?
Abm7 Bbm7 Ebm C# Ebm
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
Abm7 C#7 F# B Bsus4 B
You tell me li- ies, you look me in the e- yes
Abm7 Bbm7 Ebm C# Ebm
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
(the rest of the song is just as before)
Fools lying in my bed, laughin' in my head
Telling me my dream's gone cold but I know
One city of angels, it ain't goin' put out my flame
Ooh, my love is a fire, no one can tame
So why should I lay it on the line?
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
Why should I lay it on the line?
Well, everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
