Chords for Dusty Springfield - British Invasion 60's Music 'Once Upon A Time 1964-1969'

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I [C] think I must have realized [G] at a fairly early age [D] that in order to be appreciated or noticed
[Em] that I had better sing [A] because I had this [D] peculiar voice even when I was very [G] tiny.

[C] I think with Wishing and Hoping I maybe had like four bars of a melody.
_ _ Maybe what I just
had was _ simple, _ _
[G] _ _ [F] taking [G] and planning, [C] oh, _ _ _ [F] _ _ love, _
_ [Eb] that won't, something like that, you know.
[B] Just wishing [Gb] and hoping [E] and thinking [Gb] and praying, [B] planning [Gb] and dreaming, [E] his kisses will stop,
_ that won't get [Gb] you into his [G] heart. _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _
[Gm] On _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [E] a ballad [G] she would [Fm] _
somehow find a way to [F] express _ [D]
desolation
in her [G] life.
The thing about [C]
Dusty's [Am] approach to a song [C] was that she [Am] would begin [D] by easing you in
gently, usually singing the melody as written but with a little [G]
inflection, a Dustyism.
She
just [D] is able to make you believe _ [G] that [E] whatever she's [Bbm] saying in the song is really [Eb] happening.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _

[Eb] Well, I mean, when it came to her recording sessions, basically Dusty did everything.
She
chose the songs, she chose the singers, she chose the musicians that she [Abm] wanted.
I mean,
she basically did everything but in those days the artist never got credit for doing [Bb] anything.
I never got my [B] name on the label as [Ebm] a producer [Abm] because [Bb] this is rather typical of what [B]
one can
be conditioned into thinking as a woman.
I thought that I shouldn't take the credit,
that it would take [F] away from my credibility as an innocent [G] little singer.
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
She listened to so many different singers.
She listened to gospel [Eb] music, she listened to
classical music [F] and if she was singing classical music [D] she sounded as pure as the driven snow.
[Gm] She
was a mimic [D] and she used to say that a lot.
She said, I'm a mimic [Gm] and she was right and
that's how I feel that I am.
So, dear [B] Mary, you taught me a great [E] lesson.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ She did a great [A] performance on Son of a Preacher Man to sing breathy, [Dbm]
people like that.
People
like to hear you breathe.
_ [B] And I mean, Billy Red was a preacher's son and when his daddy
would come along, _ when you _ [E] gather round the start, you want to know what she's talking about,
you know, and you put your ear just that little bit closer [Am] because it's almost like she's telling
you something she doesn't want anybody [D] else to hear.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Dusty's left behind [G] her, without any doubt,
the greatest body of work of any British singer, male or female.
_ [E] She sang [A] beautifully and skillfully,
_ intelligently on everything she ever [Gm] did.
_ _ If any young singer _ wants to learn, they should just go
out and buy her catalogue and soak it in.
Don't copy it, but soak it in _ [F] and you'll be a better
singer at the end of it.
