[E] This is Eric Burden speaking to you from a studio [G] in Los Angeles, [Am]
[F#] just completing work
on my new album.
You can probably hear a little taste of it.
[E]
[F] Although we find that [E] this collection of songs seems to have a theme running through
it, it didn't start out that [A] way.
[B] I started out [E] gathering material [Em] a couple of years ago, [F#] and we [Em] also wrote some [Bm] stuff
in the studio.
The theme [D] is the [E]
light and [D] the darkness [E] of life in the world today.
[Bm] [D]
[E] Sorry, just hit me, okay?
[Em] Punch me.
Everything changes.
And somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.
[B]
[D] [A] [B] [B]
[G#] Wait was [F#] basically dedicated to my wife.
[Em] I waited.
Eventually, she came along.
Also, the concept was, [D#] everybody's in a [F#] hurry [Bm] these days.
[D#] Wouldn't it [Am] be great to write a song that says, [B] wait, hold on a [B] second.
[Em]
[G#m] I wanted to put [F]
more [A#] into this album than [E] just my [G] voice.
I [F#m] wanted to [Am] include [Em] the fabric of [A] my life as it is [G] at the moment.
I wanted [F#m] to also include [Em] some players that I know personally [A] and respect.
This world is not for me.
[C] [G]
[F] I'll [B] make a new one, [Am] wait and see.
The one thing that I believe in [A] more than anything is [C] the power of [F] the human spirit.
[Am] As [A] my friend Bo Diddley said in one of his songs, [E] you can kill [F] my body, but you [G] can't
kill my spirit.
[Am]
Water, water.
[Em] To drink, to put down [Am] fire.
Water, water, water.
[F]
Truth to shame, to [Am] lie.
