Chords for ConchTV Florida Keys and Key West - An Afternoon with Jim Morris, John Frinzi and Sunny Jim

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm plugged in already.
[A] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Eb] I guess we probably all met about the same time.
It's been about 10 or 11 years ago that we met down here.
[Bb] We crossed paths all over the place and now we all [Eb] live fairly close together in Southwest Florida.
[Cm] _ _ We do [Eb] have CDs that we've done together, some live CDs we've [Cm] done together.
That's true.
[Bb] And you've played on several of my CDs.
And John's played on mine.
And I've tried to get John to play on mine but he's too [Gm] expensive.
_ [Bb] James and I did a record together also.
Yeah.
So we kind [Ab] of spread the love, [Eb] spread the music around.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ We have fun.
We have [F] a lot of the same [A] influences.
We enjoy a lot of the same music by other songwriters [F] and we have a great time [G] together.
We keep talking [C] about getting in the studio [Am] together and putting out the ultimate Jim, [Em] John and James CD.
[F] And that's down the road somewhere I know but we just [A] haven't been able to get to it yet.
Well, [C] I feel like we got so much done here this week [Em] we've really laid the groundwork for that.
[F] _ _
I [Fm] like to tell a good story, [C] you know, beginning and middle and end, [Em] just like reading a book.
Except you do it in [F] three and a half minutes [G] and it rhymes.
Hopefully.
_ [F] But I'm drawn to that, being [Ab] able to tell the story, carefully [C] drawn characters and [Dm] that sort of thing.
[G] And I'm kind of a paper napkin kind of writer where you see someone do something [G] or say something and you kind of make a mental note of that or write [C] it down.
And down here there's so much of that happening [A] all around you.
All around you.
You get bombarded with those kind of little things, people doing wacky stuff or [C] saying wacky things.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ [Bm] Yeah, I like to tell a story but I find that I write more about the feelings that are involved in an event or a place.
[E] I think the idea is for [A] the listener to feel [D] something.
You want the listener to come away _ not just [Bm] singing along but feeling something [Am] and have some emotional [G] attachment to the music and lyrics.
[A] That's important to me.
[Bm] Yeah.
[A] We write a little bit about Key West and [D] it's, as James would say, it's [Gbm] research.
We [G] come down here and certainly people [D] watch and when the three of [Bm] us are getting together there's always an interplay of ideas where somebody will say one thing and then [G] we'll just take [Gb] off on that idea.
And [D] sometimes those end up in songs.
In fact, you have to be really careful around Jim because they end up on his records and not on mine.
_ These guys are great [E] writers.
They're really great writers.
[D] And [B] it's fun to enjoy each [D] other's music as much as we do.
[Bm] I [A] enjoy your music.
I [G] enjoy your music.
I really don't like his but_
_ _ [D] And we're all glad to [Gbm] be a part of it.
The idea that we're [A] able to make a living doing [D] this is just [Bm] unbelievable to us.
[D] It's been great.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ Thank you.
