Chords for Chip Taylor

_ _ _ I want the real thing, work with me Annie, [G] the real _ thing.
[G] All night and [D] late, make it loud.
Make you proud of the songs [A] that they sing.
_ Like Annie had a baby [D]
under my roof with [Am] you ready, sex proof, [G] watered down.
Tastes [A] like tea, _ gonna pull my string, make it the real [D] thing for me.
_ _ _ Now [E] as time goes on and here I wrote Wild Thing and Angel of the Morning, I can't let go.
Tried just a little bit harder back in those days.
I had such a great time doing that and it was always the next day then.
What was I gonna write next?
Somebody would say this was happening.
I didn't really much care about what was going on with the song.
I was always looking for the next thing and I knew I loved Angel of the Morning.
I knew I loved Wild Thing.
I knew I tried just a little bit harder.
I knew I loved them.
They gave me some kind of chill but I'm always looking for the next chill.
And so then all these years go by and go by and go by and here I am and these songs are still around. _ _ _
_ And somebody says, does it surprise you?
No, they gave me a chill.
_ _ So that's okay with me and I could think of the verse the day that I wrote Wild Thing.
Wild [A] Thing, _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ you make my heart sing.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
You [E] make _ everything [A] _ _
groovy.
[B] _ _ [A] _ Come [E] on, Wild Thing.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ Wild Thing, I think I love you. _
_ _ But [Am] I wanna [E] know for sure. _ _ _
So come on and hold me tight.
[D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] I love you.
[E] Wild [A] Thing, shake that [Bm] thing.
_ _ [A] _
You make [E] my heart sing.
[G]
Every day that I wake up in the morning, I'm looking for the next spark to come out of me.
And I might be working on finishing a new song within the studio or something like that.
But I'm always looking for the next spark and the next thing that gives me a chill.
And _ _ you know, when I first heard country music, _ _ _ I didn't like the clever stuff and the tricky stuff.
That's not what drew me to country music.
I like the sad stuff.
That's stuff that got all over me, you know, and made me wanna cry.
That's what I wanted to hear.
_ And I've always been like that.
So when I'm writing, I'm looking for a chill, not to make me feel happy. _ _
If it makes me feel sad and I get the chill, _ that's the _ _ best thing I could get.
Everybody _ [C] knows _ somebody. _ _
_ Somebody [G] wants a little more money.
_ And what they're supposed [D] to get or give [Am]
somebody.
[D] Than _ [Am] what they promised in [G] the first place.
_ And everybody knows [C] _ somebody.
_ Somebody wants it [G] just a little more sunny. _ _
Can't take a [Am] little rain on the [D] porch.
The way it was [G] back in Yonkers, New York.
You gotta be really simple and just serve his songs.
The song speaks for themselves.
He could probably do it on his own without me.
He doesn't think so.
It's not that.
I'm way better with it.
I understand that.
But my point is the songs.
I serve the songs.
And that's all I do.
And that's all I need to do.
The songs are so strong.
Boys, [Bm] this is Harry. _ _
_ [C] He's a conductor of the [G] Putnam Division. _
_ _ _ And he has [Bm] been doing it for 18 years.
And [C] he has been your daddy's friend [D] for nine.
_ _ [G] _ _ Harry, this is [Bm] Barry.
_ _ [C] Middle son John and little [G] Jamie.
_ _ _ _ Trying to teach my [Bm] boys [D] about [C] that charcoal _ [G] sky. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Got a [D] _
reservation _ _ [C] down at [G] Pepperhead _ _ Station. _
Flatten your [Bm] nickels, [Em] boys, and [C]
wave that [D] train [G] goodbye. _ _
_ It'll be [D] on time. _
[C] It's the Hudson [G] River line. _ _
_ _ God bless [Bm] America _ [C] and that charcoal _ [G] sky. _
_ Angel of the Morning was not a one-night stand to me.
That was the love song of all time.
These people would share a life together in the distance.
They may be apart, but they would love each other forever.
That's what that meant to me.
Nothing else.
[Bb] Just call [Eb] me Angel [C]
of the _ Morning.
_ [G] Angel, _
[Bb] _ just touch [Eb] my cheek [F] before you _ leave [Eb] me, _ [F] baby.
[Bb] _
Just call [Eb] me Angel [F] of the _ Morning.
[Eb] _ [C] Angel, _ [Bb] _
come closer, honey, come on, come on.
[F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ You [Bb] are my angel, my angel, [F] my angel.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
