Chords for Daryl Braithwaite interview from 'Time Of My Life' 2013

_ _ _ _ _ The [F#] love of music was the thing that [F#m] pushed me into it.
Not the [F#] desire to make money or anything at all like that.
Or as people seem to think, they have this [C#] impression that you're joining [B] a band to get girls [F#] and stuff like that.
I look back on it now, it would have been a lot of hard work.
But we were young, so it didn't [Bm] really seem like hard work back [B] then.
It began maybe when I was about eight or nine.
I remember singing along to records.
And I [E] sang in a girl's voice for some reason, because I [D#m] could I guess back then.
Falsetto.
Just [Fm] kept singing right along the way.
And then joined a couple of bands, you know like [A#m] hobby bands [D#] around 1965, 66.
[F#] _
I got an offer to join Sherbert I think it was in [E] 1970.
I remember them saying you'd be joining as a professional.
And I went, what does that mean?
They said, well you have to come on the road [C#] for the whole [D#] time.
And I went, _ [C#] wow, okay.
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ think Summer Love would have been the song that [D#] made it in 1974.
And [C#] then things just seemed to get better from that.
And then they got bigger again when How's [Cm] That came along. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
There were [Gm] times back then, the early days, where [Cm] you'd be so [F] scared on stage.
It's [Cm] something that I probably look back on and think, I [F] may not have enjoyed it as much
[G] back in 1970, because I wasn't aware of the good things that [Dm] come from it.
_ [Dm] _ A lot of girls would jump up on [D#] stage and [G#] grab usually Daryl.
_ _ [A#] And then be dragged off the stage.
There was a lot of screaming, girls [C] fainting, being carried off and [Cm] tearing at the guys'
clothes and ripping [F] things off them and ripping their hair.
_ [Dm] That wasn't me though.
[F] _
_ _ _ _ I [A] remember that we were pretty good with fans.
[F#] I can especially remember Alan, the drummer, Alan Sander.
He would calm down a situation and just go, hey, _ just settle [C#] down.
Just get a grip on it.
And people would, [D#] the young girls would go, okay, okay.
But some would be so hysterical that you'd just have to [Dm] avoid them.
[G] In those days, all the Sherbet [Dm] fans used to hang out together and [Em] we all [F] sort of got to
know each other.
We'd camp [D]
outside the Horton Pavilion and we'd [A] all take our tape decks along with us
and we'd listen to Sherbet music all [A] night.
When [Em] Sherbet finished after about 1983, I became a bit disillusioned with music as such.
_ [G] I got married.
Shortly after that, I ended up writing with different people and we ended up with Edge.
And I remember hearing it for the first time as the days go by on radio in Melbourne.
It was just [A] like, oh, God.
And then [G] from there it went. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [G] I look back on now and I think, well, that has enabled me then in [F#] 87 [E] to still be doing
it [B] now, which is fantastic.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] I get excited about [B] all the aspects of [C#m] live gigs.
I think it's the one thing that I [E] really, really love, especially with [C#m] the Apia tour.
We started with As The Days Go By [Bm] and then finished with The Horses.
It's just lovely.
And then [F#] the four of us come back on and [G#m] that's when I [C] think I have the best time.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
I think [Cm] as performers, you sometimes [F] forget how important [G] specific songs are to people.
It takes you back to that time when you'd go and see Sherbert, when they were at their peak.
[G#] It was always so exciting and it's just the memories, I think, [A#] that it brings back to
you that's the most special part.
[C] _ I'm sure there's still some more things to learn, but [G#] it's been great.
I mean, the book has been [F] mighty.
