Song information
Bonnie Raitt was going up against several Divas with all their bells and whistles when she was nominated for song of the year in 2023... not expecting to win... this is a real win for all of of who hate what music has become and still value the perfect song... by the way although I'm playing this in drop D and using several different voicings, this song is still just 3 chords

Lyrics
I watched him circle round the block 
Finally stopped at mine 
Took a while before he knocked 
Like all he had was time 
Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you can help 
The directions weren't so clear 
I'm looking for Olivia Zand 
They said I might find her here

I looked real hard and asked him 
What she's got he's looking for? 
Said there's somethin' I think she'd want to know 
And I let him in the door 
It's not like me to trust so quick 
Caught me by surprise 
But somethin' about him gave me ease 
Right there in his eyes

And just like that your life can change 
If I hadn't looked away 
My boy might still be with me now 
He'd be 25 today 
No knife can carve away the stain 
No drink can drown regret 
They say Jesus brings you peace and grace 
Well he ain't found me yet 
Na, na, na, na, na 
Na, na, na, na, na 
Na, na, na, na, na, na

He sat down and took a deeper breath 
Then looked right in my face 
I heard about the son you lost 
How you left without a trace 
I've spent years just trying to find you 
So I could finally let you know 
It was your son's heart that saved me 
And a life you gave us both

And just like that your life can change 
Look what the angels send 
I lay my head upon his chest 
And I was with my boy again 
I spent so long in darkness 
Never thought the night would end 
But somehow grace has found me 
And I had to let him in 
Na, na, na, na, na 
Na, na, na, na, na 
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Of course, you've made a splendid version of Bonnie's tune. So true to the original and so 'you' at the same time. That's beautiful. And i guess you know already about The Bros Landreth's collaboration with her on 'Knuckles' ... Small world !

I was gobsmacked when she won, and her acceptance speech honouring the late John Prine was touching. We saw her live last year, and she was an awesome live performer. 'Down the Hall' is another song on her most recent album that is a winner too. Enjoyed!
