[Am] [G]
[D] [Bm] [A] [G]
[F] [D] Hi, I'm Don Felder.
[Bm]
I'm [G] Don Felder.
That's Tommy [D] Shaw.
I was just diddling around in my studio one day trying to come up with a guitar part and
literally on the second pass the solo that you hear on the record came out and I recorded
it on this tiny little cube amp and I said, okay, when I get in the studio I'll actually
record this for real.
So when I took the sound into the studio they went, that's fine, we don't have to re-record
that, that's perfect as it is.
I thought I would call Tommy and see if he was actually in town and by some strange miracle
he wasn't on the road with sticks.
He came over for a couple of days, we sat down with his track, he wrote some great lyrics
with me on this track.
You know when you hear something and I sang what sounded like it should be on the song.
When I was going through, you know, the separation with the Eagles and the separation and divorce
from my wife, I started writing these song ideas about those sort of feelings that I
was going through and we wanted to have the content of the song finding some way to wash
away all of that heartache and pain that we all go through in life and Tommy came up with
Wash Away the Pain, which was perfect.
You live long enough and you play long enough and things happen in your lives and, you know,
I guess we'd had similar experiences and so we were both kind of able to relate.
That to me is really one of the key parts of any great art so that you can write a movie
or hear poetry or hear a song and it relates to people on a human level, experiences that
they've had before in their past that they can see or feel in that song and relate to
and Tommy was just brilliant about tuning into that feeling and that emotion and writing
really great lyrics for it.
The song really came together very easily, music wise, lyric wise, guitar parts, it was
just one of those things that shows up, you know, it's delightful.
You know, you're really lucky [Am] when you pulled a good [Bb] song out [F] of, you know, [Dm] the ether.
When you've done that, it is, you're just like, you're adding, this is the next thing
that needs to go there.
[Gm] You're not trying to go, what should this be?
A song like this, it really does just [B] feel like you're [G] doing something that's being played
[F] on the radio [D] in your head.
I'm Don Felder.
I'm Tommy Shaw.
[Bm]
We'd like to [G] thank you for all the support.
We look forward to seeing you guys when we come to town.
