Chords for EDISON LIGHTHOUSE ~ "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" (Tony Burrows interview)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Tony's career [Em] started here in Bristol back in the 50s.
He sang [D] with several bands, [N] toured with the Beatles,
and provided backup for artists like Billy Fury.
But then in 1970, just at the point when he decided life on the road was no longer for him,
his career took a most remarkable turn.
Which brings us, ladies and gentlemen, to the number one [A] record,
and it's the [E] Edison Glatz House.
[A] _
_ [E] The [A] band was put together in a recording studio,
and the single [E] provided [A] Tony Burrows with his first hit as a lead vocalist.
It's kind of funny, [D] your hair is kind of wild and freaky.
I had never had a number one, and I didn't know what the experience was going to be.
It was so immediate. _
I mean, ridiculous figures.
I [G] didn't have time to think about it.
I really didn't have time to sit down and think,
golly, this is wonderful.
Now in [Am] 1970, with Edison Lighthouse riding high at number one,
Tony would [C] achieve [D] something [Em] unique [Am] in British charts history.
Yes, it's top [Dm] of the box.
On the 28th of February, two [Bb] new records entered the top ten.
[F] United We Stand by the Brotherhood of Man
_ [Bb] _ _
[F] and My Baby Loves [Bb] Lovin' by White Plains.
[Dm] Both bands featured vocals that [Eb] Tony had recorded in studio [Cm] sessions,
[F] meaning he now had [Bb] three records in the top ten
[Dm] with three different bands at the same [Eb] time.
They were recorded over a period [G] of nine months,
but they were all released at the same time, which was really strange.
That must have been a total panic for you.
_ Yes, it was a little bit,
because I was trying [Dm] to split myself in so many different directions.
_ But I wasn't complaining.
Were the public aware at that time that you were on all those songs?
I don't think they did.
_ [Eb] People wouldn't know that [Bb] because I had different clothes on
that I was a different person.
I mean, [Eb] that's ridiculous.
Tony still had one more hit up his sleeve, though.
[G] Package Holiday obsessed [Am] Brits lapped up Beach Baby [G] by First Class
in the summer of [C] 1974.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ Earning Tony his [Fm] fifth one-hit [G] wonder.
_ _ [C] Tony, [N] how lucrative has being a session singer been for you?
We were too busy _ _ making a good living to stand back and earn a fortune.
_ That's basically how I feel, but I've been very comfortable.
You've been described as the man of 1,000 voices
and the man of 70s pop.
How do you feel about that?
Well, I think it's a good thing.
I've been a one-hit wonder five times.
_ _ Basically. _
And [Gm] that's what happened.
Is that all right with you?
[Bb] Yes.
I've had a [Eb] wonderful time.
I [F] really have. _
_ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She has the kind of fun in her clothes, that kind of funny.
[D] Her hair is kind of wild and free. _
[A] Oh, for a long [Dbm] road, well, [Gbm] I know [A] where it goes
[D] and nobody [E] knows like me.
_ [A] She talks kind of lazy and people say [Gbm] she's crazy
[D] and her life's a mystery. _
Oh, [A] I'm on [Dbm] the road, [Gbm] so am I, road [A] where it goes, [D] and [Bm] nobody _ [E] knows who I [A] can _ be.
[D] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ It's a feeling [Bm] that's fine, [E] and I just gotta [A] say, hey!
[D] When I [E] got a magical [A] spell, and it's working [B] so well, that I can't get [E] away.
_ _ [A] I'm a lucky fella, and I just gotta tell her, [D] that I love her endlessly.
_ Because [A] love [Dbm]
grows, [Gbm] where my road, where it [A] goes, [D] and nobody [Bm] _
_ [E] knows who I [A] can _ [Dbm] _
[Gbm] be.
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] It's something [E] about her, all [A] in mine, [Gbm] it's a feeling [Bm] that's fine, [E] and I just gotta [A] say, hey!
[D] When I [E] got a magical [A] spell, [Gbm] and it's working [E] so well, [B] that I can't get [E] away. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] I'm a lucky fella, and I just gotta tell her, [Eb] that I love her endlessly.
_ _ [Bb] Because love [Dm] _
_ [Gm] grows, where my road, where [Bb] it goes, [Eb] and nobody [Cm]
knows [F] _ _ _ [Bb] who [Dm] I can _ [Gm] be.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] She's going every place [Bb] she's been, [Eb] and [F] nobody knows [Bb] who I'll be.
_ _ _ _ [Dm]
It doesn't matter, [Gm] you're never [Bb] together.
