Chords for Fanny - Unfinished Documentary (Play Like A Girl "The Rock & Roll Life Of June Millington")

[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] We had no [F] mentors and we just plugged in and went,
[G] oh, is this, [F] oh _ [G] this feels [Dm] good, this is fun,
why don't we keep doing this?
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ They all thought we were going to be just, you know,
a sort of boutique band and we'd have a couple of hits
and then, you know, we'd go on our merry way,
sort of like Tiny Tim did with his ukulele, right?
But it didn't happen that way because
[B] Gene and I [E] always had this [Bm] rock and roll [G] dream,
not just wanting, [C] we needed to be in the first all-girl band
to get signed and [D] do records and [C] get out in the [D] world
in the way that we did.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _
In a lot of ways, it was just one of the most
wonderful experiences in our lives, okay?
I mean, we knew we were forging the way,
[Eb] part of it was a total drag [F] because we'd have to spend
the first 10, 15 [G] minutes convincing people that we could play.
[Gm] _ _ _ I [G] mean, the [C] compliment, [B] not bad for chicks, not even girls.
Guys would come up to them, not bad for chicks,
and you have to go, thank you, sign the thing
and turn your back, you know, and make nice.
It's exhausting, it's like being in a party all the time
where you're just putting on your best face,
but you just want to go home.
[Eb] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
And _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
then the questions we were asked by the press,
[F] [Abm] which were [Bb] ad nauseum, [F] just [B] to me, so boring.
I really would go insane inside every time somebody said,
oh, [C] and what does it feel like to be [F] a girl?
[C] Playing in a band.
[B] What does it [Bb] feel like?
I mean, [F] what kind _ [C] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] of_
_ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [Eb] We were [Bb] practicing and [F] playing our hearts out
and writing [C] songs and being creative and changing arrangements
and working in the [Bb] studio and changing our [F] sounds.
We [C] were doing all that stuff that you [Ab] should do
if you're in a band and you're [C] professional and you have goals.
But it was the audience and society that was one [Gm]-dimensional.
We were [Cm] three-dimensional and [F] living color.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ In terms of society, we were ahead of our time.
So people who played, the musicians, we had a lot of recognition.
They did know and see how we played and like that.
But as far as the general audience, it was still a novelty
and they just couldn't quite grok who we were or what we were about.
And like I said, we just didn't hang together long enough
to really break through all that prejudice and skepticism.
Oh, Fanny made it.
Fanny made it and we didn't quite make it.
Yeah, but Fanny made it in the sense that we were totally poisoned.
I just was so tired and so life had taken a turn for me
in a way that flattened me.
As far as I'm concerned, Fanny did not make it
because _ we did what we set out to do.
But what we didn't do, we never had enough success
that we really earned the money.
Well, that's because I imploded.
I left the [Cm] band.
I had to.
I was going [G] to die. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm]
When people bemoan Fanny not being better known,
you know, I mean, yes, on one level that's true,
but on another level, I feel like so many seeds are sprouting
and so many things are coming to fruition as they were meant to be.
And I rest in that.
