Biografía:
Nacido en Albany, Georgia, Ray Charles perdió la vista durante su infancia por un glaucoma. Fue autodidacta del piano, pero también recibió clases de música en braille en la "St Augustine School", un centro para invidentes. Paralelamente, tuvo que ganarse la vida como músico, cuando fallecieron sus padres. A finales de la década de los cuarenta, Ray Charles consigue colocar un disco en las listas de su país, y en 1951 obtiene su primer Top Ten, gracias a "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" en 1951.

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This song is on Ray Charles' country album "Wish You were Here Tonight"
circa 1982 or 1983. I picked it up around 1984. It's really a good country
song -- try to check it out.
I worked this song out off the record, so it's all my own work and may not
be perfectly accurate, but it works for me. Hope it does for you, too.

D A
Sometimes I get sideways and stay up all night writin songs

They say it ain't healthy but somehow I keep goin on (I do)
G
I write what I feel and don't care if the damn thing don't rhyme
A D
Just gimme a C chord and play it in 3/4 time (got it)
[Chorus]
G D
It's a big old world and we all have to live out our lives
E A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of gonna get out alive(uhuh,sorry)

So while I'm still kickin I'm gonna keep pickin my tunes

A woman who likes to make love in 3/4 time (be nice ya know)
[Chorus]

It's a big old world and we all have to live out our lives
E A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of gonna get out alive(uhuh,sorry)
