Chords for George Harrison - Dark Horse Feature (Introduction)

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
[D] Hello everybody!
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
It's [Am] George Harrison, right?
[Eb] Remember me?
And I [Bb] just thought of Dark [F] Horse, _ running on the Dark Race course.
I thought, sounds like [C] a song.
And somebody [G] needed a name for a company. _
[Eb] I said, OK, [Bb] Dark Horse.
_ _ [F] Well, really Dark Horse came into existence in order to give myself the chance [G] to become an artist again.
I'm going to make a [Eb] record like _
_ [Bb] something [F] like 20 [F] years ago.
Just like a rock and roll band making a [G] record.
We had real saxes and real [Eb] guitars, real pianos, real [Bb] drums, [F] real people playing real [D] songs. _ _
You know, it's trying to put all the past that's been accumulated [G] into something [Gbm] new and make it sound like [A] now.
Originally [Gbm] they were done for vinyl, make a much [A] better _ [D] digital version of it.
So I think to get them [A] all back in the shops, nice and crisp and clean and fresh.
[C] Surprise?
[G] _ Hopefully maybe some nice tunes, something to give you a smile.
[E] This tune has [D] nothing bright [B] _ about it. _
_ _ [A] This _ tune is bad or good, [Gbm] you can never know what it may be.
[Dbm] My expert tells me [Gb] it's OK _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] As this song came to [D] _ me
_ [Abm] _ _ _
[Db] Unknowingly
_ This [Gbm] song is for you and
[E] Although I had a laugh, personally.
[Cm] And doing the music I had a laugh. _
[Eb] _ [Bb] I was [F] so young when I was born
_ [Bb] My eyes could not [Cm] yet see
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] By [F] the time my [Eb]
first dawn
It could have been called [Fm] Spot the Loony.
[Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ What _ I always felt is that _ [Gb] if I'm me and I make this kind of music,
_ _ it's wrong if I should try to fashion my songs or my music to suit a market.
And I think that kind of thing was happening in the 70s.
[G] It's like somebody once said, take me as I am or let me go.
You just have to [Db] make, you know, just a sense of humor with it.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
One time ago when we [C] was five _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ You [Fm] couldn't make an [F] ex-Beatle record without having [C] Ringo, could you?
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[A] It's like a built-in thing.
If I play a [F] song to Ringo, I don't need to say to him,
[Am] you know, I want it to go like this.
[B] I just play it and he joins in.
He just gets his sticks and he just does it.
And it [C] sounds just like Ringo.
And you can hold the rock [Fm] steady all day [G] long.
_ [Am]
The microscopes that [F] magnified the tears _
_ [Am] _ _ [B] Studying [Dm] for [B] ten hours
_ _ Oh yeah, my new album's much [C] better than anything the Beatles ever did.
_ _ [A]
I ok, I've enough.
Precious [D] words drift [G] away _ from [Em] the meaning
I think that's [G] one good thing about [D] songs.
You can write in songs, you can have little [Gm] lines in songs that actually [Em] says what you feel. _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ Helping us all to remember what we came here for
This [Bm] is love, _ _ [Em] _
_ this is la la la la la
_ This is love, _ _ _ _ _ this is la la la la la
Everybody [F] dreams of being famous and rich and famous.
Once you get rich and [Am] famous and you think this isn't it, _ there's still [F] something missing now.
And it doesn't matter how much [Bb] money or property or whatever you've got,
unless you're happy in your heart, [Am] _ then that's it.
And [F] unfortunately, you can never gain perfect happiness
unless you've got that [G] state of consciousness that enables that.
In the end, [C] you're trying to find God.
Won't you please, oh won't [F] you
Give me [F] love, give me love, [Gm] give me peace [C] on earth
Give [Bbm] me life, give me [C] life, keep [Eb] me free from [Bb] birth
Give me [F] hope, help [F] me cope
This [Gm] _
[C] heavy load of [Bbm] crying tooth
That should [C] beat you [Eb] with _ heart and [Bb] soul _
[F] _ _ _ _ [F] How did the Japan gig come about in the first place?
It was all Eric's idea and his [Bb] idea to go to Japan really. _ _
I've been friends with Eric for [F] years and I think I always will be.
[Am] He's a lovely fella [F] and I love him very dearly.
[Cm] Hello, [Bb] nice to be here again.
I've always had the [Gm] taste for live [G] performances in some way.
[C] I always really enjoyed in our early days before we got too famous,
we used to [F] play clubs and [Eb] _ [D] that kind of stuff all the time, you know.
[C] And it was fun, [Bbm] it was fun, but _ it's good because you get [Eb] to play
and you get to [Gb] get quite good on your [Em] instrument.
[D] I _ _ like being in a band.
That's fun, just playing in a band really.
Let me tell you how it will be _
This _ _ _ _ one for you, _ [C] 1940
_ [Dm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ Because I'm the taxman _
Yeah, [G] I'm the _ [D] taxman
_ Everything, everything has changed over 25 years.
[E] First of all, I'm much [F] younger now than I [D] used to be then.
I [G] think I can sing better, I can play better, and [F] I can be a happier person.
[D] _
_ Everything's changed.
[Am] There's good to be shown
You may [D] make it all [Am] your own
You won't [Em] win that time _ _
While your eyes are looking for a blind man _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He's a great songwriter, a great musician, a very unique [E] man.
I always thought of George as being a little like the elder brother that I never had.
So [Am] I respect his _ judgment [E] and his values, and I think he's a [Em] wonderful man.
[Am] _ And I like the way he bends the strings too.
He plays a great slide player.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ Thank you.
[Em] _ _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
got my mind [Ab] set on you
Got [E] my mind set on you
[Dbm] I got my mind set [Ab] on you
[E] I got my mind set on you
I don't [Ab] do dance [F] steps or somersaults or anything like that.
[B] All I do is stand [E] there and sing.
There was the video for Got My Mind Set On You, which _ has the famous [Dbm] backflip.
Now, to me, that is hysterical, [E] because if anybody knows me,
they know the last thing I'm going to do is a backflip and then [Ab] dance like [E] Michael Jackson or whatever.
But to put [Gb] that in there, in that context, and do it in a way [E] where, you know,
most people think it's actually me, and that's, it cracks me up, you know.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[G] I much prefer to be an artist, _ [F] _
_ [D] _ [D] where I can [A] just write a [F] little tune and make a [Eb] record.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ And I'm running on [C] a [G] gray score _ _
[Eb] Around [Bb] a blue _ [F] _
moon
_ _ _ I [D] play a bit of guitar, [G] write a few tunes, make a few movies, [Eb] but none of that's really [Bb] me.
The real me [F] is something else.
Can you tell us?
_ [C] No, you have to [G] figure that out. _
