Chords for Céline Dion - Making of "At Seventeen" (EPK)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You know, the good thing when you have children, you can always [Am] blame them for being late,
you know?
[D] And we just started [Dm] today actually [A] recording at 17 [C] is the first song that opens the [G] project
of a new album.
17 is not something that I would have done five years ago.
[C] Right.
_ [Am] But I think it has its [C] meaning, its place now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] It's my first time working with Babyface, so [Cm] I was a little bit nervous and looking
forward to it.
And it was, it went really well.
Very nice. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Beautiful track, eh?
Beautiful.
_ [C] All right, let's give it a try.
Yes, go.
Have a good time.
Just more, just more [G] notes to get, _ as [Gb] it goes to get more intense.
[Eb] Perfect.
[F] You got it.
You don't have to keep it straight.
Okay, let's do that.
It was a highlight [E] for me.
I've always [Ab] wanted to get in the studio with Celine to begin with, so it was better than
I thought it would be.
I thought it was going to be [Bb] good, but it went much better than I thought it was going to be.
I love what you were doing earlier on the beautiful.
You did a little bit of Celine movement on beautiful.
Not quite, but_
You just did a little bit of a lick on beautiful.
_ Okay.
_ Just be free. _ _ _
Okay, I think you mean_
_ _ _ [Gb]
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
[C] You sound wonderful, Celine.
Thank you.
No one can just do this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That 17 [Am] for me, it's extremely [Cm] touching and painful. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] School years for me was very [Fm] troubled years, difficult.
[Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ I [Cm] was not a good looking girl, and I was [Fm] not very comfortable with my own self.
[Dm] I had teeth problem, I wouldn't have money to [D] fix my teeth, I was extremely skinny.
_ [G] _ You make [C] friends if you're cool, if you're pretty, if you're [D] good at school.
You make [Dm] friends if you're tough.
I wasn't tough, I wasn't [G] pretty, I wasn't certainly cool, and I wasn't good at school.
[C] And I felt that all that was against [Am] me, [C] so I really had a hard time, and I [A] didn't really
[G] feel pretty at all.
My dreams were all they gave for [C] free, _ ugly duckling girls like me. _ _
We [Cm] all play the game, and when we dare, [Dm] we cheat ourselves [G] and solely tear.
[Cm] When I sing it, I feel for the [Fm] teenagers who are struggling, [Cm] the kids who are [Dm] thin, ugly,
not good, [G] big girls, big guys.
[Cm] It's tough because today [Fm] you have to look a certain way.
It's so tough.
[G] So I feel [G] that song a lot.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] 17 was one of my favorite songs when I [Bb] was growing up as [D] well, and the pain [G] and the heart
that was in it is just a perfect song to me.
Most of the [C] time you just don't touch those, but if you're gonna touch it, [Am] then Celine
is the [C] perfect person to touch it with because of her sensibilities and the pure emotion
that comes with almost every note that she sings. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] She's so spot [C] on.
Yeah, [G] she's the only [C] artist ever to not sing a one note.
_ It's crazy.
Her delivery.
I've never seen [Cm] a singer be so on it almost every take, and [F] just tuning and rhythm and
[G] the emotion.
It [Cm] was just perfect for a producer.
I [Ab] almost didn't have a job.
That's when it's good when you [Cm] don't have a job.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I respect [Cm] him a lot, the fact that he did [Ab] respect the song.
He tweaked it, he made it [Dm] modern _ without making it another song.
We [G] want 17, we don't want another song. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Beautiful. _ _
That was great.
Thank you.
Great. _ _ _
