Chords for Episode #83 Daryl Hall & Tommy Shaw Blue Collar Man LFDH

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ I've never crossed paths with Darryl.
[C#] You know, when [A#] you're touring a band,
a lot of times you're like two ships passing in the night,
unless [A] you're on tour together, and [E] we've never toured together.
Oddly enough, Styx music [A] has a lot of gospel music in it.
Gospel music [D#] is a lot in soul [C] music,
but if you start breaking it down, you listen to our choruses,
[F] and they're kind of gospel choruses.
It's just a little [A#] more heart-driving, more [F#] on the rock side.
Just from watching [E] the show, I'm anxious [C] to see
how he is just in a fluid situation [D#] like this.
It looks to me like [B] he's used to jamming
[D#] and used to [C#] kind of [G#] winging stuff.
[C] I don't read music, I don't read charts [E] or anything,
[B] I've just never, [C] I've never gotten away with it.
[G] [C#m] Styx, there's not really, there [E] are instrumental sections
and things like that, but [A] we don't really jam [G#] on stage.
All [B] our stuff is arrangements.
[C#] I've been practicing with them [E] in my studio [B] by myself.
And now I get to do it for real.
This is going to be cool.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ [E] Styx.
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[C#m] [B] Everybody home?
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _
Oh, [E] wow, look at this.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _
So Blue Collar Man first.
[C] Blue Collar [E] Man.
You get that over with?
Yeah.
[G] He's [B] a good guy.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ [C#] Yo!
[C] Ryan!
[A] Hey, man.
[F#] _
Come on [F] in the back [A] room.
This [Bm] is where [G] all the action is.
[E] Well, this is where all the hanging is.
Nice to meet you, I'm Elliot.
Elliot, nice [F#] to meet you.

Yeah, good to meet you [B] too.

Hey, Brian, nice to meet you.
[G] And that's Clyde.
Hey, Clyde.
Good to meet you.
Pleasure.
[D#] So here we are, man, [D#m] in the club.
I know.
[D#] In the club.
I know, you ready to play some music?
[A#m] Absolutely.
We're going [C#] to definitely have some good times.
[E] Good, good.
Thanks for doing [D#] Searching for My Love, man.
[C#] Oh, yeah, that was, [A] _ well, that's right up my street.
[C] That goes down to the_
[Fm] There's a couple of lines in there that [B] sound like you.
[D#m] _ [C#] Searching for my baby.
Yeah.
_ Yeah, man.
Where'd you come up from? _
[B] Where was I?
I was from Nashville.
Okay.
Do you live in Nashville now?
Yeah.
[A#]
Ah, okay.
_ [C#m] Have you been living [C] there for a while?
About [Dm] five years, a little over five years.
[Cm] Yeah, we lived in L.A. for 24 [C#] years.
Yeah, man.
[A#] Well, we should just [E] do it, what we're going to do.
Let's do it.
All right, do you need to go [D#] in the dressing room or anything like that?
I can [F] drop, yeah, drop this stuff.
Sure, drop your stuff [F#] off, whatever.
_ [C#m] We will [D#] _ reconvene.
[D#m] _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G#m]
Just [F] so I [C#] can turn it down here.
Okay.
[G#] _ _
[B] Whoa, that's too much.
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
Tommy, you have the in [D#]-ears?
I do.
Okay.
[F#m] _
[B] Shake, shake, shake.
_ _ I just sing better, the [Bm] chorus is the [C] same, all night to be.
It takes [A] all that to be just what I am.
[C] So you don't have to do a different chorus [F#] lyrically.
[A#] Oh, well, we got it all written down.
[D#] I mean, we have [C#] dialed in.
Okay, [F] well, I'll be the screw it up then.
Oh.
_ [E] _ Well, then [C#m] we'll do what you want to do.
Oh, _ [C#] maybe I can, [E] let me try and read that. _ _ _
[D#] Brian, remember that, the downbeat [C#m] of that first [E] bridge? _
_ _ [Dm] _ Who said that?
I was talking to, [D#]
is it weird to [D] walk in and strange musicians are playing? _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D#] Just talking about your song.
_ _ [C#m] _ _ I'm adjusting.
_ _ I'm acclimating.
There you go.
[G#m] Sometimes it takes a little while.
No, I like it, I like it, I want to be [D#] part of it.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Oh. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ You got a high voice, man.
If I warm [C] up good, I can hit some stuff.
That's [B] outrageous.
I can't even get close to that.
Well, it takes, you know.
I can do a falsetto, but not natural.
Uh-uh.
[D#m] High [C#] tenor thing.
_ [E] _ Yeah, shall we?
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah.
_ _ Ha _
_ [C#] ha.
_ [N] _ _ [C#m] _ _

[B] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [G#] I'll [C#m] take a whole bunch, if possible, of [A] lies.
[E] Beware my identity, [C#m] or if things are right,
I'll be just what [C#] I am.
But I'm [C#m] a lord of the undefined, _ yes I am.
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ Maybe in love, [F#m] I can't refuse.
_ [B] Maybe a respectable man.
_ _ [C#m] This is my last [F#m] time in the unopened line.
[B] So, like it [G#] or not, I'll take [C#m] a whole bunch, if possible, of lies.
Keep [B] my _ _ [C#] keyhole in a [C#m] safe, [A] or if things are right,
I'll be just what [C#] I am.
But I'm a lord of the undefined, [C#m]
yes I am.
Keep in my [B] mind a better life.
_ _ [G#m] _ Where [A] happiness is only a [C#] heartbeat away.
_ _ [E] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#m] _
_ Paradise, can it be [B] over in a while?
_ _ [A] I close my eyes, baby, I'm always [G#] there.
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _

_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#m] So, I'll take a [A] whole bunch, [C#m] if possible, of lies.
[A]
Keep [B] in my _ _ [C#m] _ _ mind a better life.
[F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ Where happiness [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ is only a heartbeat away.
Paradise, can _ _ _ it be over in a while?
I close my eyes, baby, I'm always there.
So, I'll take a whole bunch, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ if
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#m]
possible, of lies.
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _
_ Keep in my mind [F#m] a better life.
Where happiness is only [C#] a heartbeat away.
_ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _

_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
So, _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ I'll take a whole bunch, if possible, of lies.
Keep in my mind a better life. _ _
[G] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
This is how it gets, man.
[G#] _ _ _ [E]
You know, [Bm] look how smooth this is too.
[B] Look how fast and like [C#] rolling.
_ [F#m] This is so much better than me sitting in [D] my basement.
[F#m] _ _ _ [G#m] Yeah, it beats that. _ _
