Chords for Dionne Warwick & Burt Bacharach • “What The World Needs Now...” / Medley • 1970 [RITY Archive]

_ _ You know in any field [Eb] where one achieves a degree of success, I suppose an element of luck is [Cm] usually involved.
For me, [C] I've always felt lucky to work the [Ab] terrific lyricist, Mr.
Hal David.
[Eb] I know I speak for Hal when I [Gm] say one of the luckiest things to happen to the both of us
was that opportunity [C] to write songs for an extremely warm and talented lady, [Fm] Dionne Warwick.
She's too much.
People have said our musical [Bb] relationship is like a perfect marriage.
[Ab] Maybe it's built on love and understanding, her love of [Eb] music, and our understanding of her great talent.
[N] Ladies and gentlemen, Dionne Warwick. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
Thank [B] you.
And thank you for writing the song.
Hm.
Always a pleasure.
You know?
Over the years, some of the very biggest hits that we've had
happened because you recorded them.
Hm.
[G] _ True.
That is true.
Now, let's listen to this.
You want [Am] to?
Yes.
OK, remember this. _ _
_ _ _ If you see me walking down the street,
[D] and I start to cry,
_ I will [Am] _ [D] walk [Gm] on by.
_ _ [F] You know the way to say it.
[F] _ [C] I'll walk on by.
[C] I'll walk [Em] on by.
Sounds good to me.
The moment [Am] I wake up,
I'll look up on [G] my face,
[Gbm] see a little bit of [B] you.
[C] I have a [Bm] thought that says,
[D] I'm all in it. _
_ _ What do you [Bm] get when you fall in love?
[G] _ You're the [Em] best thing that [Gbm] ever happened to me.
[B] Fall in love.
[Em] _ Never fall in love [G] again.
Yeah.
[D] _ _ _ [A] Never fall in love [D] again.
Say you're available for the next day.
You're like, huh?
How about that?
How about the first one we ever recorded?
That was a long time.
Yeah.
[C] _
_ [Em] Don't make me over. _ _
[Bm] Get [F] out.
Get a big [G] boy.
_ [C] _
Don't [Em] make me over.
_ _ [Bm] _
Now that [F] you know how [G] I adore [B] you.
[C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Bb] _ What's it all about?
_ _ _ _ _
Try Alfie.
[Eb] Alfie?
Yeah, yeah.
I know I don't like the music.
_ You know,
[Ab] before Dion ever recorded,
[F] used to do some demos.
I used to do a demo once,
and I think we paid you $15 for it.
It's $12.50.
[E] _
Well, I took that [G] $12.50 demo,
and I listened to [Ab] it over and over,
and I was absolutely hypnotized by what I heard.
And that song was called Make It Easy on yourself.
Hmm.
I don't really remember the songs I did for $12.50.
You know, you were just_
[Bbm] _
Make [Cm] it easy on [Fm]
yourself.
[Db] _ _ _ Make [Cm] it easy [Fm] on yourself.
[Db] _
_ [Eb] Cause _ breaking up,
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ [Eb] very hard [Ab] to do.
