Sometimes I play the fool.
[Am] They call him [G] the quiet one.
[E] We were all a part of a jigsaw puzzle really, and in some [C] respects I was.
You know, it's [G] like sometimes you're not necessarily the quiet one, it's just that the other ones are noisier, you know.
Yet long [F#] after the Beatles had broken up, reclusive George Harrison still found it hard to deal with the fame that came with being one of the Fab Four.
Try not to be recognized.
It's kind of, you know, there are things you can do and stick a hat on and all that, but there's a period where people didn't have a clue who I was
because, you know, if you don't keep a high profile they forget about you and then there's all this other stuff,
Michael Jackson and all those people take over in [G] the press.
And I really enjoyed that.
Love [C] loves me too.
[G] You know [C] I love you.
After [G] Beatlemania swept through, Walter Mellstrom in [G] 1964 had laid forge a special place in Beatle history and in the life of George Harrison.
How were your recollections from those years?
It's funny because the recollections [G#m] sometimes are very good.
I always used to pride [D] myself with a good memory, remember what happened and people's names.
[F] George was a familiar face at Formula One races.
He liked it here because nobody bothered him and gracious as he always was, it was hard to pin him down for a few words.
Today [E] Tonight managed to get a rare audience with the iconic guitarist from Liverpool six [C#m] years ago.
This was to be [E] one of Harrison's last major TV [G] interviews.
This is the only real way we could see of [C] us getting together.
We always [Am] said the Beatles was us [E] for and if ever one of us wasn't in it then it's not the Beatles.
[A] [F#m] [F] [E]
[A] Sounds just like the Beatles [D] except now.
[E]
[A] George opened up at an exciting [F#m] time when the Beatles were reunited [Dm] on record at least [G] for one last time [C] and the launch of a sweeping [Am] TV documentary on their amazing lives.
The thing is there's more to me than what's in the Beatle program.
In fact that's the sad thing for me is that there's so much that you want to say.
So like I was in the [E] Beatles but my life took me off into India and all these places but he only really just touched briefly on things like that.
Using [A] sophisticated computer technology, [F#m] Paul, George and [D] Ringo polished up a demo [E] recorded on a scratchy [A] tape by John Lennon before his [F#m] death in 1980.
[Dm] Three Years A Bird topped [G] the charts on the day of its [C] release in 1995, [Am] prompting this wiry [E] response.
I think he [G#] would like it.
In fact I said to them I hope somebody does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead.
Make them into hit songs.
[E]
I've heard people say well it was a perfect end to his life because he's now like [G#] this mystical proportion.
Of Lennon's untimely death [E] and death itself he had this to say.
It's harder to be alive than it is to be dead like Jimi Hendrix because then people just keep saying how great you are or whatever.
[G] But when you're alive [D] you've got to you know.
[E] [B] [A] [E]
For most of the Beatle era he preferred to play [A] in the shadows of Lennon and [B] McCartney.
Yet George was by no means [A] a one hit wonder when he [D] went solo.
Even if he wasn't convinced of it himself.
[D#] I've never really had a career since the Beatles.
I mean you know.
Do you feel that way?
Yeah [Fm] I mean I've done many things and I've had a lot of things to do but I didn't milk my career like some people do you [A#] know.
[C] [C#] You know I was never into that.
I [F#m] like to be one of the backroom [B] boys.
[F#m] [B]
[F#m] [G#m] He was the youngest Beatle.
Now there's just Paul and [B] Ringo.
How would you like the Beatles [E] to be remembered?
We had some good songs [D#] and a lot of people were happy with the songs.
We tried to give some love and that [G] really is what it's all about.
Yes his music brought so much to so many people and I'll be back [F] with more in
