Start Jamming...
[E] I'll [A] be so long, you'll walk [E] through the grass, but [A] I know that I will one day [E] be back.
[B] [N]
[Bb]
[Ab]
I'll be so long, you'll [Bb] walk through the grass, but I know that [F] I will one day be back.
If I remember correctly, the other ones were done in LA.
Now this last one you went out to, is it called Carrie Carrie?
Carrie Carrie, I think it's on the western side of New Zealand, little remote area.
Any of you at home who saw the movie Piano, I think that they filmed it, same beat.
We actually recorded the album in the house that Harvey Keitel lived in.
Yeah, while he was there doing the movie?
We found some stuff of his.
We've got to return it while we're here.
We have a mutual friend there as well, [Ab] Madonna the pig, who lived down the road.
I think took a great shine to [N] Harvey.
You mean like a real life little pig?
Yeah, a little pig, yeah, a little Samoan pig.
But how did it make the music different?
The pig was very influential.
No, no, no, no, I mean getting out of LA and going to [E] this little remote place.
Well it made it, it was like a real experience, it was like an adventure,
no matter what the album turned out like, it was sort of worth being there anyway.
We had two months with these two weirdo producers from Britain,
we brought them out and it blew their minds.
Did you get on each other's nerves?
No, no.
So it was a good experience?
Just as long as you stand there, we'll be alright.
[Gb] Alright, [Bm] I'll stand over here with the lone American.
Has this been a good experience though, being down under as they say,
but that's a long way as we well learn, a long way from home.
It's very far, yes.
How do you [N] enjoy it, do you miss the United States?
A little bit.
There we go.
And he is the quiet one of the group.
What a cute little accent he's got.
That was a nice little bonding thing though.
Wait a minute, he doesn't have an accent.
Cute little accent.
Do I [Ab] have that same cute little accent?
We don't have the accent, you have the accent.
No, not us.
No, we don't have an accent.
No?
No.
Alright, well you can judge that as they sing, because the song is called
Distant Sun and it is from the new Crowded House album,
[B] their fourth and most acclaimed so far, Together Alone, take it away guys.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
Tell me all the things you would [Ab] change
[Eb] I don't pretend to know what you [Ab] want
[F] When you come [Cm]
around and spin my [F] top
Time and [Ab] again, time and [G] again
[Eb] No fire where I lit my [Ab] spark
I [Eb]
am not afraid of the [Ab] dark
[Eb] [Cm] Be your worst, devour my [F] heart
And put me to [Ab]
shame, put me to shame
[Bb]
You're saving worlds [Fm] for life
[D] [Ab] Whenever I [Bb] am by your [Eb] side
[Bb] And just from a distant [Fm] sun
[Ab] I'll shower [Bb] over [Eb] everyone, yeah
Still
[Ab] [Eb] so young to travel [Ab] so far
[Eb] Old enough to know who you [Ab] are
[Cm] Wise enough to carry [F] the scars
Without [Ab] any blame, there's no one to blame
[Eb] Cease to forget [Ab] what you learned
[Eb] Waiting for the thrill to return
[Cm] Feeling your desire [F]
burn
You're drawn [Ab] to the flame
[Bb]
You're saving worlds [Fm] for life
[Ab]
Whenever I [Bb] am by [Eb] your side
[Bb] And just from a distant [Fm] [Ab] sun
I'll shower [Bb] over everyone
[Cm] I'm lying on the table, [Ab]
washed out in the [Bb] fire
[Cm] Like a [Bb] Christian [Ab] fearing vengeance from above
[C] Don't [Bb] pretend to [Eb] know what you [Ab] want
But I offer [Bb] [Fm] love
[Cm] [Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] Saving worlds will [Fm]
collide
[Gm] [Ab] Whenever I am [Bb] by your [Eb]
side
And [Bb] just from a [Fm] distant sun
[Ab] I'll shower [Bb] over [Eb]
everyone
[G] [Ab] You'll see
[Eb]
And we'll be right [N] back.
Proud it has.
Praise the Lord.
[E]
