[A] Have [G] you seen my wife, Mr.
Joe?
I [C] just gotta get a message [A] to you, you know
No one is [G] left
They started [D] Jill
It's [Cm] only you From today's
[Bb] opening [E] night
You can be
the broken heart
[C] of my soul
And [F] I know
[D] [Bb]
[Db] [A] [Abm]
[Fm] she's taking a lot
of this pain
[Gm] And I [Eb] [F]
[Abm] [Bm]
[Gbm] [G] [D]
[F] [B] don't wanna be alone
[G] [E] There have been times [C] in our lives
where we've said to ourselves, [E] this is where we came in.
This is basically about our career, where we've come in, you know,
and it's like, haven't we been here before?
I think we come from the days of
[G] British artists
[E] that never actually
stuck to [G] one formula, we're kind of
mix and match kind of music.
We've always been very dramatic about what we do
and [Am] hence the sort of big ballads
and all [Em] the stuff, and it's time to just shift gear,
you know, and to [Gm] recognize
the humor in ourselves,
which everyone always tells us we have.
I've seen [A] this story
[C] I've read it over [Em] once or twice
I said [A] that you say
[C] a little bit of [Em] bad advice
The first single
[Am] from the album is called
This is Where I Came In, [E] and
it has a lot of hallmarks and characteristics
of our very first album.
It was done live with the three of them
around one mic.
It was like going back to the first time we recorded, because technology's changed,
but we still basically work the same way
[C] and only this time we recorded
[E] like we did back in the late 60s
and early [A] 70s.
[G] It's a kind of biographical
kind of song, but more
subtle [E] in its actual lyrical content.
[Db] We've sort of gone back to where we left off.
[A] [C]
[G] Hello, we're here on [G] the set
[Ab] of our new video
This is Where I Came In.
[Am] I think the spark came from [B] the concept of
trying to do our entire [E] lives in four minutes.
This [Em] is a video that you're going to have fun watching
and it's going to [C] be a good giggle.
[Em] We're going to be able to see ourselves the way we want to see us.
So it's a bit [A] selfish, but it's fun.
[C]
[Em] But hey,
you [Eb] know,
[E] actually we used to [A] sleep together
when we were kids, [C] when we used to
all live [Em] at home together.
It was only last weekend.
We had to [A] cut back a bit [D] because
my dad was a gambler.
Bloody wise it.
[A]
[C] [Em] [A]
[Em] [G] Something's going on.
And yes, here it is.
This is our mother.
[E] How are you mother?
Not bad son.
How's the pile?
[G] Oh terrible son, they're hanging out
all up me house.
This is the
[A] Shakespearean actor David Inglis, [G] who's flown in
especially for [C] this role.
We have a guest star
in this video and that is our dear friend David
Inglis, who has been one of our [E] dearest
friends all our lives.
I've known the Bee Gees for
30 years.
I know exactly how
they feel and how they are
[B] and humour has always been
the exceptional quality that they've [E] had.
David will play multiple parts.
He will play our manager, he [Am] will play
our mother.
[Em] That's a brilliant performance by the way.
Well I've got the tablets, thank you.
I'm quite pleased with it.
I think there's [C] an award in there somewhere.
Well the [Em] sex change was uncomfortable.
I've been able to find somebody like you
[C] You with a brain and a [Em] body too
I could never make a move on a [A] woman
that leaves me on.
[C] I've got a little bit
of [Em] something for everyone
It's a [A] little too late
[G] when the wolf is on the run
Sitting here by
[Gb] the I-95, dressed as
Liberace, [G] holding a banana
makes me wonder
Why?
I [Em] can die
but [Am] I'll go anywhere
Well [A] the band itself really is a replica
[Am] of what the band we used to use [Gm] in
Australia.
So it's nostalgic
[Em] watching it now.
You know when you see
it go by it's like
[E] [Am] I get all these little
Was it actually like that?
The Volkswagen band?
That's [Em] why we're using it.
This is the danger [G] zone
This [Am] is where I came [Em] in
They [C] don't know what they do
[G] Forgive them on their [E] sins
They know they [C] cannot take [G] away
What [A] you have given [E] me
[A] Oh
[E] Oh
[E] Oh
[C] This is just where I came [E] in
What about when I
sh** [N] the dog?
We're making fun of ourselves really
As we said it's like [G] trying to fit your whole life in four minutes
This is a very [E] expensive home movie
[A]
I'm looking forward [E] to the group [A] continuing on
[E] and knocking down
[C] more walls and kicking more ass
This is where [Em] I came in
We've still got a long time [A] to go
and [Em] we're just going to keep on
[E] being creative
This is where I came in
I just love what we're doing [C] as long as we're having fun
It's not [Em] just our time practicing my work as a [E] gynecologist
[A] The great thing about the Bee Gees
is they reinvent themselves all the [C] time
They're always one step ahead
They're not [E] scared to go into other [A] areas
I think it's [Em] fantastic when they've been recording [A] for 40 years
It's very difficult
to be original
[C] But they have done it
and they're unique
[Em] Terrific [A] isn't it?
Prolific
[Em] Rubbish
[A] Some strange people around here
This particular [Db] song is very innovative
[N] I've heard three or four tracks of the album
which is fantastic
There you go mate, this is where you go
Thank you very much
This
