So this next song, well I'll tell you a short story.
Um, uh, there's a common experience of bands that happens when the singer in the band,
or the singer's girlfriend or wife, becomes pregnant.
Uh, what happens is a kind of a round of congratulations and excitement,
and then a kind of a dread that starts to develop within the members of the band.
And as the singer becomes more and more excited about the arrival of Junior,
the band becomes more and more terrified.
And it has nothing to do with a hatred of children or, uh,
you know, a fear of being [C#] displaced by a new member of the family.
It has to do with the song that the band members know is coming down the pike
when the child is born.
[C#]
And I've written an example so that, just to give you a [B] sense of
why bands [C#] become afraid at this point.
[B] [C#]
So this is a rock band, we have to pretend this is a rock band, okay?
And you guys are the band and I'm the singer and I have a brand new song
because the baby's just been born, okay?
I planted [E] a seed and I watched it grow
[G#] And now [C#m] you're here, Junior
[B] And I, I'm so, so [A] in love with you
Oh, [B] with you
[C#] Cause you look [A] like me
Just [B] like me
[N] So what do you think, guys?
Love it!
It's cool, right?
I think [C#] it's our next single.
What do you think?
It'll be cool, right?
So anyway, when I was, um, my wife and I were going to have our first child,
I knew that bands were afraid of this moment,
so I did what every good sneak does and I hid my Junior song in plain view.
[A] And my daughter Coco [G#] doesn't exactly know that this song is about her,
and actually neither do millions of other people.
But [C#] I'm going to play it in a new key today just because I'm having fun with this capo,
so it might add a little excitement to the proceedings, potential clams on the guitar.
But we'll just go through the song [D#] and you'll hear what the lyrics really mean.
It's definitely about our time, but it's also about the eternal theme [C] of a child [F#] being born.
[C#]
[G#m] [F#] [C#]
[G#m] [F#] [C#] Closing time, [F#] open all the doors and let you out [C#] into the [G#m] world
Are you [B] with me?
[F#] Closing time, [G#m] turn [B] all of the lights [F#] on over every [C#] boy or every [G#m] girl
[C#m] Like the lights in the operating room, you know what I'm [F#] saying?
Closing [C#]
time, [G#m] one last [F#] call for alcohol, so finish [C#] your whiskey [G#m] or beer
[F#] I'm not sure about that one.
Closing [C#]
time, [G#m] you don't [B] have to go home, [F#] but you can [C#]
stay [G#m] here
You know what I [F#] mean?
I know [C#] who [F#] I want to take me home
I know [C#] who I [F#] want to take me home
I know [C#] who I [F#] want to take me home
Take me [C#] home
That's Junior in the hospital singing.
Closing time, time [B] for you to go out to [C#] the places you will be [G#m] from
That's pretty [B] obvious.
[F#m] [C#] Closing time, [G#m] this [B] room won't be open till [F#] your brothers or [C#] your sisters [C#m] come
Alright, I'm going to back up [G#m] a little bit for that one.
This is a special songwriter moment.
The pun that sank no ships and no one noticed, but I like it.
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
This womb won't be open
This womb that's more like a womb won't be open
[F#] Till your brothers [C#] or your sisters come
[F#] Nobody got it.
So [C#] gather up your jackets, grown [G#] up stuff, move it to [B] the exits
[C#] I hope you have found a [F#] friend
More grown up stuff.
[C#] Closing time, [F#] every new beginning comes from some other [C#] [F#] beginning's end
I know [C#] who [F#] I want to take me home
I know [C#] who I want [F#] to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me [C#] home
[G#] [B]
[A] [D] [Bm]
[G] I [B]
[A] [E] [D]
[F#] [C#] [G#]
[F#] know [C#] who I [F#] want to take me home
I know [C#] who I want [F#] to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
[C#]
Closing [B] time, every new beginning comes [C#] from some other beginning's [F#] end
