Chords for Bill Champlin & Friends- After The Love Has Gone (1983)

David's done a few.
Sounds like he can't keep a job, right? _ _
_ The Tubes, of course.
And I work with Chicago, produce Chicago, and I'm working with Lionel
Richie right now, and Earth, Wind & Fire, and Hall & Oaks.
And _ _ _ he's never had a lesson.
Neither of these people ever take a music lesson.
Speaking of Chicago, a new singer who, along with
David Foster, is credited for having _ turned that group around a little, I guess, is the way to
say, yeah, [E] Chicago had been doing a great job, but suddenly they got a real spurt with Hard to
Say I'm Sorry.
And here's the new singer for Chicago, Bill Champlin. _
_ _ Now, _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] the plot thickens,
listeners.
We're talking rock and roll soap opera now.
Most of the tunes that we do on this show
have been written in some collaborative effort, but by Foster and Graydon and Champlin and myself,
and fellas wrote the opening and the closing themes for the show.
So it's a real tickle for
me to be able to get up here with musicians of this caliber and have some fun every night.
And Bill and I have written quite a few tunes together, and you'll be getting some royalties
before this series is over.
Finally, Al, finally.
_ They've written some terrific tunes, and one of
them they're gonna kind of jam together right now.
And Tommy Funderburk [D] here, and this may be the
only time I get your name right.
We wrestled with it for a while.
Funderburk, Thimble Rig,
_ Fingernail, Santa Claus.
It's almost as tough as thick.
But Tommy has [N] worked in groups with
these fellas before, and they're gonna do one of the tunes now that uh, Grammy winner a couple
years ago for Earth, Wind & Fire.
It's called After The Love Is Gone.
So do it, fellas.

_ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] For [F] a while, _ [Fm] true love each other [F] was love.
_ _ [Am] We would never need [Dm] love was strong
for [Bb] so long.
_ [Cm] We never knew that [Bb] what [C] was wrong was right.
_ _ [Db] We tried to find what [Am] we had.
Oh, that was [Dm] all that we had.
We were scared.
[Bb] Just a prayer would tell [C] our love is true.
[F] _
Something happened along [Dm] the way.

What used to be happy [F] was sad.
