Welcome everybody back to the 3L.
I'm your host Chad, and I know exactly why you're here.
You're here for another BG's
Favorite okay, so don't go [N] anywhere.
We're gonna jump into this without any [G] delay _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
[G] I started [Bm] a joke
_ [C] Which started [D] the whole world [Bm] crying
_ _ [C] _ [D] But I [G] didn't [Bm] say oh
[C] No that [D] the joke was on me
[Bm] _ [C] No
_ [D] _
[G] I
Started [Bm] to cry
[C] Which started [D] the whole [G] world laughing?
[Bm] _ _ [C] Oh [D] if I'd [G] only seen
[Bm] Oh
[C] But [D] the joke [G] was on me
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Bm] Running _ [C] my
_ over [G] my
_ and I
fell [Em] out of bed
_ [G] Hurting my [Am] head from things that I [D] said
_ [A] So [G] I finally [Bm] died
[C] Which started [D] the whole [G] world?
living
[Bm] _ _
[C] Oh [D] if I'd [G] only seen
[Bm] Oh [C] [B] My _ _ god _
His voice is so calm and smooth _ _
It's it's very enjoyable.
I'm just gonna tell you right now.
It's very enjoyable to just sit here and listen [N] to
_ Robin's unique tone
You know that isn't featured very often you know or as much _
As I believe it should be maybe I'm still you know I I have a lot more to do
And I realize that I have a lot more to go through
There's many many hit songs
[Ab] from these guys, but
You know obviously Barry the lead singer is mainly featured and his falsetto voice or whatever
[N]
He's mainly doing the lead in a lot of their music and so when I can sit here and listen to Robin
doing a solo like this and
[Db] _ _
For once Barry's in the background plucking on the guitar
_ It's kind of refreshing to to hear his voice
Wow
I'm in all I you know it's just so calm like I said before it's so smooth _
It's one of those songs that you can just you know
close your eyes
_ [N] And dream away, you know let your mind just drift to
[E] the yesteryears [Db] you know and just
_ [N] Just relax
It's a beautiful beautiful
Melody I'm loving [C] this
That [D] the cow [G] was on me _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
[Am] Oh
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ [D] That the cow [G] was on me
[Bm] _ _ [C] No [D] that the joke [G] was on me
[Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] Wow
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
Wow look at that crowd folks _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
That's amazing _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, so [Ab] here's what song facts had to say about the lyrical content of this [B] particular song
Let me just read it to you
_ [C] This song is about someone who has done or said something horribly wrong [B] and in turn has resulted in [Ab] alienating
Everyone around them, okay
The song can be taken as [B] achingly poignant or overly sentimental depending on your particular mindset
_ Robin Gidd
Had something to say about this in 2009
He said this is a very spiritual song
Listeners [C] have to interpret it themselves trying to [B] explain it would detract from the song
_ Folks this was a mind-blowing performance by Robin
_ _ And [Bb] I believe it was either this song or another song by [Db] him
That received [Bb] a standing ovation.
I'm not sure if that one was the one that we just saw if that was it or not
But they [Ab] really did seem to enjoy it that's for sure I had people in the comment section talking about how
It was [C] over a minute long.
I believe perhaps [Abm] I selected the wrong one.
I'm not sure but this was live in Melbourne
[Db] _ in
1989 I believe and
[E] Just a fantastic [B] performance _
_ Very heartfelt
_ _ You know it's a deep song like you said it's a very spiritual [Bb] song it gets you thinking you [B] know
How
_ You fit in with the world you know
What the world thinks about you?
You know it's it's one of those things where you're kind of reflecting on how you fit in
With society in general and how that they look at you as a [A] person or an individual _
this is a [B] fantastic performance
I'm so glad for this request
Thank you once again for that.
We're gonna continue to pump out [Em] BG songs
