Chords for Harry Connick Jr. - All The Way - Live Today Show 09/28/2009

Back at 846 with one of our favorite [Dm] performers, master of song Harry Connick [E] Jr.
He told me to [G] say that.
His new album, Your [C] Song, features his unique take on some iconic [D] standards.
The very shy and [G] retiring Harry, good morning to [N] you.
Good morning to you.
I can't believe you said that.
Because you asked me to.
Oh yeah, Mr.
Ego.
You travel nice and light I see.
Yes, this is my little personal traveling badge.
They go everywhere I tell them to.
So you know, I was with the folks at Sony over the weekend and they said they had been pushing you to do an album like this for years.
You haven't wanted to do an album of standards.
What changed and now you decided it's time?
I've done a lot of records.
You have?
And I got together with Clive Davis and we picked some really great songs.
Songs like Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel and I Love Her by The Beatles.
I just wanted to have a good time in the studio [G#m] and just sing.
And that's basically what we did.
We made a CD of songs that everybody knows [A#] and we present them in a very accessible way.
What's different about the way you present them?
What was your particular take on the songs?
Well normally I would do more jazz stuff with them.
But this time [E] I said let me just put them out there.
Let me just sing them straight.
My dad sometimes says, how come you take these left turns with your arrangements all [G] the time?
I said well this time I'm not.
I'm just going to sing them straight because they're great, great songs just on their own.
You and your wife Jill, do you have a song that has always been your song that is a standard?
We like that song more.
[F] You know, more than The Greatest Love the World.
I do know that song.
Yeah, we like that song.
And we like that [B] Jobim music, that [D#] Brazilian music.
That's some romantic stuff.
You are surrounded by women actually between your wife, your three gorgeous daughters who are there.
Has it hit you yet that they're like reaching teenage age?
Oh, it's freaking me out a little bit.
It's freaking me out.
But you know the great thing is that I love my wife [G#] and we do our best to raise our kids like I would think most parents try to do.
And we're proud of them.
[C] We have three beautiful healthy daughters and we feel very blessed about that.
What are you going to sing for us Harry?
I don't [N] feel like singing.
Oh, okay fine.
Actually I do.
[D] Harry can I have the mic?
Yes.
I [G#] can take this for you.
You got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Would you count the band off for me?
Sure.
How do you do that?
All you do is say one, two, three, four.
Sure.
And what are you going to sing?
I'm going to sing All the Way.
Okay.
This is Harry Connick singing All the Way.
One, two, three, [D] four.
That was perfect.
That was like [F#] better than I do.
[B] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] When somebody [B] loves you it's no good [F#] unless [D] he loves you all [E] the way.
_ [A] Happy to be [B] near you [D#] when you need [A] someone to cheer [D] you [A] all [C] the way.
_ _ [G] _ Taller [F#m] than the tallest [C#] trees, _ [B] _ _
that's how [Bm] it's got to [D] feel.
_ [Bm] _ Deeper [A] than the deep blue seas, [Bm] _ that's how deep it goes if it's real.
_ [D] When somebody needs [F#] you it's no good unless he needs [D] _ [Bm] you all [A#] the way.
_ _ [A] _ [Bm] Through the good early [Cm] years and for [C#] all the in [A] between years, come [D] what [Am] may.
[G] Who knows [A] where the road will lead [Em] us?
Only a [Bm] fool would say.
[E] _ _ [A] But if you'll [F#m] let me love you, [Am] it's for sure [B] I'm going to love [G#] you _ [C#]
all [F#m] the [B] way.
_ [Em] All [F#]
the [D] way.
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _

_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [Bm] the way.
That's Jerry Weldon.
_ [G#] _ [B] _ _ [E] When somebody needs you [G#] it's no good unless he needs you [C#m] all the _ [C#m] way.
[B] Through [C#m] the good early years and for [B] all the in [C#] between years, [G#] come what [Bm] may.
[A] Who knows [F#m] where the road will lead [G#] us?
Only [F#m] a fool [C#m] would say.
[F#m] _ [B] But if you'll let me love you, [Bm] it's for sure I'm [G#m] going to love [A#m] you all [D#] [G#] the way.
_ [C#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [F]
All the [F] way.
