Chords for Eric Clapton & Producer Glyn Johns Discuss The New Album 'I Still Do'

[N] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Somebody [E] tell me how to [A] _ talk [G]
to _ [F#] you
_ _ It [B] ain't funny, _ you [A] _ _
_ mighty, catch the blues _ _
Legendary [G#] _ guitarist [C#] Eric Clapton and [C] legendary producer Glyn [B] Johns Glyn yourself
[D#] Well first of all I want [G] to know which one of you is which _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ He won [E] me the grey hair
He won [F#m] me the grey hair The oldest
_ You know on the [D#] new album [C#m] I Still Do [D#m] Yeah
What do you still do?
[G#] It actually is [C#m] a quote from my auntie who passed away
[E] And I said [D] I want to thank you for being who you were
And looking after me when I was a [A] little boy
And a [B] difficult little boy
She said [F#] well I liked you and I still [B] do
_ _ _ _ [Em] That's, I just [E] thought that's it
[A] What about you Glyn, did you echo that [G#] sentiment?
_ _ _ [F#] _
I didn't [D] like it [G] but I do now _
[G#] So you should have called [B] him
Now [F#] I [G] do That's [E] good
_ _ _ [G] Can't let [Em] you go to me
_ [G] I know you're gonna do
[E] _
_ [Em] But I can't let you go to me _
And what I know about Glyn and what he made clear
_ At some point during those conversations was
[D] I'm only going to [E] do that on tape
And only really if possible on 16 tracks [Em] Right
[C#] So that, [E] okay, now
For a lot of people that isn't gonna [Em] actually be possible
[E] To do it well, if you're gonna start overdubbing
You're in trouble
You really want to get live [A] performance
At one mark Yeah
[E] And everybody's on it Right
Drums, guitars, vocal
And you record that on tape
[Em] And then it's mixed [G] Right Like that
That [E] is like, it's so old
Well I think it comes across in the album
It doesn't sound, and I'll say it's not criticism
It's actually, you know, a positive thing
It doesn't sound _ really polished
We had some really interesting [G#] players on the whole album
But for some of the [C#] tracks I wanted to bring [Em] in
And that was one of them
This guy called Dirk [C] Powell who plays [B] accordion
He plays mandolin and fiddle
_ And I [E] also wanted to bring in [Em] Walt Richmond
_ From Tulsa who used to be on JJ's records a lot
Who just [G] can set the [C] tone, you know
I like some of those songs [Em] like I'll Be Seeing You
The thing that I loved about working [E] with Glyn
[G] And say it in front of him
Is he recognises when the [E] band is on to something
He really is quick to observe [Cm] that
And know that this, [E] we've got to get this on tape
St.
Augustine's _ Bob Dylan track
And there's an upright bass on that
[G#] And an acoustic [C] piano accordion on [E] that as well
That's right, [D] yeah
A regular [A] upright piano
That was done in the [B] round
Everybody sitting [C] around in [E] a semi-circle
[B] _ I [E] dreamed I saw St.
_ Augustine
_ _ [A] Alive as you or me _ _ _
[E] Staring to these quarters _
In [F#] the utmost _ misery
[A] _ _ [C] I think Spiral, _ I [E] wasn't sure
But it was interesting, Tim, was
[D] We had this riff, [A] I had this riff
That _ when Glyn came over to the house
And I was playing it [D] around _ with Andy Fairweather
We were trying [A] to find it
It was just a series of chord changes
But it was great
And [Am] we just started playing it
To see [Dm] what would emerge
You can do that, you know
You can create a [C#] song if you get the [C] right energy
_ It was [A] an extraordinary moment
Without any question at all
I always loved the [Am] chord sequence
That you did there, I thought it was
And I [D] kept going, you've got to [A] finish it
Because it's going to be great
_ You don't [Am] know how much this means
_ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ To have [Am] this music in me
_ _ I _ [A] _ _ _ just [Am] keep playing these [D] blues _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Hoping [F] that I go _ loose _
_ _ [E] _ [D] I just keep playing [Am] my _ song
_ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ I've worked with lots of really good guitar players
And the biggest difference with [E] Eric
Is he [A] absolutely
[C] Very rarely in my [A] experience with him
[D] _
Sits and figures something out
To the nth degree
Most of it is [Am]
an emotive response
To what he's hearing around him
Or [A] to what the song suggests or whatever else
And if [B]
you do three takes
They'll all [G] be different completely
He never played the same [D] thing twice
_ And that [A] is the process of
Never letting your brain [Am] interfere with your emotion
And [C] so it goes straight from [F] his heart
To his fingers
_ _ That's [C] what I believe
[Em] So you're happy with it?
I think [G#] so
_ Good [E] Yeah _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
