Touched By The Sun Chords by Carly Simon

_ _ _ _ _
Hey, we have a Monday together.
I'm Ian O'Malley.
This is VH1.
As promised, I am deeply honored right now
and pleased to be joined by Carly Simon.
Carly, so nice to see you once again.
Good to see you too.
And congratulations on what really is a terrific CD, Letters Never Sent.
I really enjoy it.
Leave it overnight and see if it rose like bread in the morning.
And then if it did, you know, you mail it.
And if not, you just kind of sit on it for years and then it comes out as a record album.
So I [E] take it you stashed all these letters?
I stashed them at the top of my closet.
I [B] have actually about seven boxes of them.
Wow.
And I resurrected the ones that I thought could be most, you know, sort [F#] of suited to melody and rhythm.
_ _ _ And there are about ten or twelve in there still.
I can imagine.
I am interested here about [D#] this song that we're about to hear [D] live from you, [E] Touched by the Sun.
So I take it you stashed all these letters?
I [B] stashed them at the top of my closet.
I have actually about seven boxes of them.
And I [F#] resurrected the ones that I thought could be most, you know, sort of suited to melody and rhythm. _ _ _
And there are about ten or twelve _ in there still.
I can imagine.
I am interested [B] here about this song that we're about to hear live from you, Touched by the Sun.
From all the songs I've listened to on the album, this seems to be the most powerful.
You know, they're all heartfelt, I'm sure.
It is my favorite.
_ [F#] What's the background of this song here?
It's a song that was inspired by a woman who I love very much and was an incredibly brave, brave person.
And I needed to do something _ that took not so much courage for most people but a lot of courage for me.
And I was sitting down playing the guitar one day and the song basically fell in my lap.
In my career, that's happened a couple of times.
Once with [E] Anticipation and once _ with a song called Embrace Me, You Child.
So it just kind of wrote itself.
It just wrote itself.
Let's hear it live now.
This is Touched by the Sun.
This is Kylie [G] Siner.
Thanks. _
