Chords for Hollywood Anderson American Idol Audition

_ Oh, hi!
_ Anderson.
Hollywood Anderson.
Hollywood Anderson.
Yeah, I don't know if they got that right,
but they told me to come in here and just.
What are you going to sing today?
It's an original called My Best Friend.
I wrote it about a girl I went to college with
and fell madly for. _
I don't know, I was in love with her.
Let's hear it.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ There she [C] goes, she's the one for me.
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ [F] We got [D] the kind of love [C] that I blind [G] in me.
I can [D] say _ [Am] _
[F] she's my all in all.
[C] She's my [G] everything. _
_ [Am] _ _ She's my [C] seasons and reasons.
She's my summer, she's my winter, she's my spring.
That's [Am] why I'm [F] in love [C] with my best [G] friend.
_ _ _ [Am] _
I'm going.
[C] I'm going to record that song now.
[G] I'm going to record that song right now.
I'm going to add that [A] in.
[E] I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love.
_ [A] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] I'm a love hound.
[A] _ _ [Eb] Turned her whole world around.
[Am] _
[F] She's the reason that [D] I'm [C] still alive. _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] She's the reason that [C] I'm still [G] alive.
I'm in love.
_ _ [A] _ [F] She [D] took all the drugs, [G] pain and bad stuff out [Am] of my life.
[F] And that's the reason why [C] I can't [G] deal with my hands clean.
[Dm] We're only [Am] right.
I'm [A] in love.
Thank you.
[Ab] Nice.
Woo.
Woo hoo, yes, Bobby.
Say it, do it.
You felt it, I felt it.
Yeah, from the first note, I went, oh.
I just was like, oh God.
Oh man, thank God so much, man.
Oh, so good.
That was beautiful.
It's how you interpret what you're singing.
Yes, you wrote it, which makes it so much,
I'm so sorry to cut you off, I'm so hype right now.
Go ahead, man, you got it, roll with it.
I was like, I want that song.
I want to record that song tomorrow,
but the way you, I don't want to,
I just want to hear you sing it.
There were so many dimensions to what you just did.
Like every phrase had its [G] own angle
and own color and own texture.
And that was so interesting to listen to. And emotional.
Really good.
_ Unquestionably the best audition today.
The best audition of the last two days
_ and possibly of the last four cities.
You're very talented.
Thank y'all so much.
And this isn't about money, right?
This is about music, this is about passion,
this is about love.
I've been living in New York about two years now.
I've been homeless, I mean, slept on trains for my dream.
I just learned how to play guitar like a year ago.
It was gifted to me at Covenant House.
Who gave you the guitar?
Norm Lotz, he's out there.
Because of the guitar, I'm here today.
[E] At that.
Norm, baby!
Oh!
He can play the guitar [Gm] too, he likes Stevie Wonder.
[Ebm] He likes Stevie Wonder.
Hey, we just said, how are you?
I'm Harry, [G] Jen, Adam.
Hi, Norm Lotz.
Norm, they're all famous.
I know you don't watch TV that often.
They're all famous.
[Ab] First of all, congratulations to you
