Lyrics

That's MILES
words & music
Phil Morrison

Intro...16 bars(3/4 time)
(1)
Feel the mystique of a masterful man
Seek and then soon you will find
Blowin' the blues with horn in his hand
Listen to what he is sayin'
Groove in the pocket swingin'..with a
Tight all star band
Yeah...feelin good...diggin' Miles

(2)
Tunes that he played some are old some are new
Touching what's down in your heart
"Sketches of Spain" then "Kind of Blue"
"Green Dolphin Street" ..always cookin'
"Someday My Prince" in waltz time..but it
Swings all the while
Ballads...REAL slow... That's Miles

Interlude (solo on chords 8 or 16 bars)

(3)
Bebop & swing..add some funk, rock & roll
Don't make no difference what style
Locked in a groove from deep in his soul
Chill while you feel what he's playin'
Horn pointed downward..growlin'..then he'll
Hit notes up high
Sweet....mellow tones.... That's Miles

(4)
This tribute song that we offer to you
Tries to describe how we feel
Hearing "So What" and then "Bitches Brew"
Music is how he is talkin'
Time always moving forward..'cause it
Never stands still
Movin' and groovin'...That's Miles

(tag)
His legacy's recorded..from
Japan to Brazil
Movin' and groovin'...That's Miles
Stylin' and profilin'...That's Miles
Talkin' 'bout boxin' ...That's Miles
Cat-in' & spat-in'....That's Miles
Livin' & lovin'...That's Miles
Movin' and groovin'...That's Miles
etc...
