      Sending him to space was probably the best advertisement of humanity

    No matter what's the song's origin and who's singing, , simply amazing.

    He was the same in the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa Hotel and McGrorys Bar in Inishowen on his visit. He would not leave until he had greeted everyone. A gentleman.

    Met him yesterday at book signing in Easons, Foyleside. Huge crowd there. He was only supposed to be there for an hour but stayed for almost two so that he could see everyone - a real gent.

      If you still want it :)
      Capo 2nd fret. The names I give are the names of the shapes. Technically a 'G' shape will produce an 'A' chord, just in case you're playing along with others say on piano. The song is in key of A: the capo lets us play it with easier shapes!
      4 beats between every bracket. If you see G / D / etc then it's G for 4, D for 4. If you see two chords in one set of brackets, they're 2 beats each , e.g. G / Am D / is G for 4, Am for 2, D for 2.
      Verse:
      G / D / Em / C
      G / Bm / Am / D
      G / D / Em / C /
      G / Am D / G / D
      Chorus
      G / C / G / D
      Em / Bm / Am / D
      G / C / G / Em
      G / Am D / G / D
      Verse 2 as verse 1!
      Then 2nd Chorus:
      G / C / G / D
      Em / Bm / Am / D
      G / C / G / Em
      G / Am D / C / G
      Make sure you don't leave any dry eyes in the room now...
