[Eb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ Signature Billy [Db] Bryant _ [Gb] _
[Eb] drumming.
_ [C] One of the things [Ab] [Bbm] about our music I always
_ [F] _ [Eb] appreciated in terms of working with this band was _ _ _ [Db] _ each and every one of [Bb] the
musicians basically had a specific way that they played their instrument that
was really [Eb] unique and Dave [Ebm] Gray's you know guitar riff is [Eb] part of it.
We always
saw our music as part of a larger conversation and [Bb] every part that we
played was meant to _ _ to involve [Ab] the whole conversation [Db] right and this is [C] a
perfect example of it especially when we break down to the [Eb] acapella part you're
gonna [Ebm] hear later.
_ _ [Db] _
This song was [Ebm] inspired by a trip that Lori Conger who's the
keyboard player, [C] Lynn Ferny [Db] who was the writer [Bb] one of the writers for Rise Up
and [Gb] myself took to [Bb] Mexico _ and we had [Eb] met _ _ a Mayan [C] Indian and Isla [Eb] Mujeres
whose _ whose name _ translated to at the feet [Gb] of the moon.
_ [Eb] So _ [B] [Bb] we met [Db] him it was
interesting _ [Ab] we do a trip inland [Ebm] and we [Db] end up in this [Bb] kind of crazy colonial
Spanish colonial hotel and the girls go out to you know shop or whatever and I
fall asleep into this kind of crazy hallucinogenic dream state.
[Bb] I wake up
sweating and [C] you know like [Ebm] crazy and the [Db] words I [Db] saw your shadow you were
[Bbm] dancing at the feet of the moon [C] were right there [Ab] and the lyrics for the [Bbm] song
were like right there as if [Db] somebody had sort of [Bb] delivered them to me in my sleep
and I realized in many ways this song was _ really about the Mayan culture [Eb] you
know because I [Ab] had a fascination with Mayan culture [Db] and everything [Bb] meeting
this Mayan gentleman [Db] and so this song became _ _ [Bm] about [Bb] that and it became about
the mysteries of life right _ and then the interesting thing is so when we came
back to record it for a second record [Db] our producer Michael Beinhorn [C] who who is
the producer for Chili [Db] Peppers and Material and whatever _ _ [Ebm] of all the songs
in our repertoire this [Bb] was the one song he hated [Eb] he did not like the song and we
_ [Bb] we actually thought that this would be our [Bbm] first single for the record and [Bb] he
did not really and so there [Db] was this kind of a little bit [Bbm] of a tug-of-war
[Eb] about it [Db] _ _ [Bbm] but it turned out to be the first single and it [Bm] turned out in many
ways this record sold more [Ebm] records than [Ab] our first record Rise Up _ [Ebm] and _ _ _ [Db] this is a
five-minute [Bb] song so I have to keep talking through the five minutes. _
Here's the
other thing that we did _ _ that was unusual for the time which was _ we did we [Bb] always
like to have these huge _ [Db] bridges you know [Eb] _ transitional devices [Gb] between choruses and
[Ab] the chorus is out so this album version is what five minutes long and so now
we're [Bb] gonna come to I'm hoping we're gonna come to the acapella part. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh it's a double chorus I'm so sorry _ _ _ _ yeah caught between systems this magical
way it _ _ sort _ [Db] of speaks to the [Bb] the part of us that we're really [Db] into esoteric
kind of [Ebm] _ spiritual [Db] things you know and _ just the mysteries of _ life _ and this [B] part
here _ _ [Db] is the part that everybody sings to me [Eb] _ _ _ and they never get it right because
it seems easy enough but it's not [Db] _ _ _
_ _ so when we're playing live _ [Ebm] this moment in a
crowd [Fm] is _ [Eb] exhilarating a whole crowd of people going shut up [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Db] yeah _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Db] Debra Samuel
[Ebm] was the _ photographer for this and she did video [Ebm] for Feet of the Moon also [Gb] this
thing that [Db] we do here was [Bb] very much we were totally into the [Db] kind of dancing
that we [Ebm] used to see in _ kind of [Db]
African [Ebm] dancing that inspired us so we [Ab] were
always trying [Bbm] to dance the boys were [Ebm] not as good as the [F] girls but you know what can you do?
_ [B] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Gb] _ Well actually this was [B] February and we couldn't [E] absolutely not shoot this thing
in [A] Montreal in the snow banks and everything so we took the [Gb] whole band
down [B] to the Dominican Republic to shoot the
