[Bb] [Ab] [Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] You got [Fm] a lot of nerve [Ab] to say you [Eb] want my friend
When I was [Bb] down, [Ab] you [Cm] just stood [Bb] there grinning
[Eb] You got [Fm] a lot of nerve [Ab] to say you got a [Bb] [Eb] hand to lend
You [Bb] just want to [Ab] be on [Cm] the side [Bb] that's winning
[Eb] You say [Fm] I let you down, [Ab] you know it's [Bb] not [Eb] like that
If you're so [Bb]
hurt, [Ab] why then [Cm] don't you [Bb] show it?
[Eb] You say [Fm] you lost your faith, [Ab] but that's not [Bb] where [Eb] it's at
You had no [Bb]
faith to [Ab] lose, [Cm] and [Bb] you know it
[Eb]
[Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] I know [Fm] the reason that [Ab] you talk [Eb] behind my back
I used to [Bb]
be [Ab] among the [Cm] crowd [Bb] you're in with
[Eb] Do you take [Fm] me for such a fool [Ab] to think I'd make [Eb] contact
With the one [Bb] who tries to [Ab] hide, but [Cm] he don't know where [Bb] to begin with
[Eb] I wish [Fm] that for just one time you [Ab] could stand [Bb] inside [Eb] my shoes
And just [Bb] for that one [Ab] moment [Cm] I [Bb] could be you
Yes, [Eb] I wish [Fm] that for just one time you [Ab] could stand inside [Eb] my shoes
[Bb] You'd know what [Ab] a drag [Cm] it is [Bb] to see you

Thank you.
Brian, thank you.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you very much. Well done.
You've got them in a froth, Brian.
That sounded absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much.
And that's from your new album Dylan-esque,
which is a selection of Bob Dylan songs that you've covered.
What [E] was it about Dylan that made you think he'd be a good subject?
Well, [N] the songwriting, really.
The songs are very strong, very varied, beautiful lyrics.
Was it the lyrics that you loved first about [E] Dylan?
Because obviously the melodies are fantastic, but he's just a poet, isn't he?
Yeah, he's unique, and he did [Db] bring poetry into pop rock music [G] writing.
And [E] [A] revolutionised, really, [G] the industry.
[N] Him and the Beatles, when they came along, were a breath of fresh air.
Dylan got a lot of flack when he went electric.
But I read that that was when you first got into him.
Because before that, folk music wasn't really my bag.
I was into R [Gm]&B, and it was all kind [Abm] of American black music,
whether it was from the blues, R&B, jazz, all [Em] sorts, really.
Did you see him on that tour?
Because my dad went to see him in Newcastle when he went [Gm] electric.
Because it was in Manchester Free [C] Trade Hall where the [Abm] famous Judas comment was made.
Oh, yeah, and then [Ebm] he shouted out, you're a liar, or something.
I only saw him play for the [Ab] first time last year.
At Brixton Academy, which is a great venue.
I [Db] like that, it's a very [F] funky sort of place.
[G] Good place to see him play for the first time.
Well, it's interesting, because actually you're touring in April, and so [E] is he.
And he's playing Newcastle on the 12th, he's playing the arena,
and then you're playing City Hall on the 13th.
But [Ab] he doesn't have a gig that night.
So I'm thinking maybe we could get you together, you could meet up, something like that.
I'm sure he's got better things to do.
No!
I could see you two out on the razzle down [A] the big market, [Ab] Brian, come on.
Yeah, I could be, yeah.
You're a bit of a king of covers, really.
You've done some fantastic covers over the years.
I'm a king of covers, that's good.
Well, I mean, Jealous Guys, obviously, a really important part of your back catalogue.
[G] But also Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, everything from Sinatra to The In Crowd,
which is one of my personal favourites.
What do you think makes a good cover?
You've got to love the song first, you've got to [E] love the material.
[N] You've got to kind of embrace the song as if it's your own writing,
and just find a way into it that is your own style of doing it.
Obviously, my main body of [E] work, I see it, is my own writing.
But after [N] I'd done the first two Roxy albums,
I felt I'd made some kind of statement as a songwriter.
I thought, well, it'd be great to do another album which is completely different,
where I wasn't the writer,
and just as a singer, arranger, producer, whatever, all those [A] things.
Just [Gb] tackle some different material and broaden my [Em] repertoire.
Exactly, flex your muscles in other areas.
So, speaking of Roxy, I'm very excited [F] about the next Roxy music album.
What's the latest?
Because [Ab] it might be quite a while.
Well, in the very [E] early days, we started
It's not very good when you have pressure on a project,
but there was a lot of expectation [A] when we [Ab]
started touring again in 2001.
We did this reunion Roxy [N] tour, and that was a great vibe.
It was a great success for everybody, [E] I think.
We enjoyed it, and the audience did too,
because we hadn't played together for [N] God knows how many years.
Then we thought, well, maybe we'll go into the studio and try some stuff.
It was going very well, but after a couple of months,
I realised it was going to be quite a long project,
and I wanted to get something out of my own before
So why [E] is that?
Is that Brian and his soundscapes and all that?
Not really.
He's incredibly quick.
It's me with the writing the words is the slow part.
Do [G] you find songwriting a challenging [Ab] process sometimes?
You say that again.
Yeah?
[G] Yeah, yeah.
I don't write as much as I used to when [Dm] I first [A] started,
and yet [Ab] I seem to be busier than [A] ever.
I do a lot of live [E] work.
So maybe we'll look forward to Roxy music 2009?
Yeah, I hope so, yeah.
OK, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thank you very much, Brian Ferry.
