Start Jamming...
[F] [C] This is a song that got me my first record deal.
It's a song I auditioned with this tune in 1968.
A long time ago, I had written it, I think in 67,
about a girlfriend,
[A] and I played it in a room
in London, England in 68 for Paul McCartney
and George Harrison.
I
[C] was nervous.
[A]
I was as nervous as a chihuahua on methamphetamines.
[B] I was nervous.
[Am] I really, I don't remember how I got through it.
I don't, I don't [N] remember at all.
It was [Ab] traumatic.
It was like meeting God.
I was a huge Beatles fan, and I didn't know
how I'd lucked into this [C] situation.
So, but somehow I got through the tune,
and they seemed to like it, [Bm] and signed me to Apple Records.
It was the [N] identifiable moment.
It was the quintessential big break.
It was walking through a door, and my life
was on the other side of it.
It was amazing.
It's really like if you look up big break
in the show business in the [C] dictionary,
that's what you get right there.
[F] [C]
[F] [C] Where
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
[F] [C] there's something in the way she moves
[Gm] [G] Looks my [Fm] way or [Bb] calls my [C] name
That [G] seems to [Bb] leave this troubled [Eb] world [F] behind
[Bb] [F] [C] And if I've been feeding down in [Gm] blue
[Bb] Troubled by some fool's [C] game
She [G] always [Bb] seems to make [Eb] me change [C] my mind
I've eaten fine [G] anytime
But [F] she's [C] around me now
[G] She's [Am] around me now
[Dm] Almost [G] [Dm] all the time
[G]
If I've [C] been well, you [Gm] can tell
That [F] she's [C] been with me now
[Bm] She's [Am] been with me now
[Dm]
Quite a [A] long, [Dm] long time
And I feel [C] fine
[Bb]
[F] [C] Every
[F]
[Eb] now and then
[Bb] Things I lean on, [F] they lose their meaning
And [Dm] I find [Eb] [F] myself careening
In the places [Bb] where I should not let them [Gm] go
[C] She
[F] [Bb] has the power to go
No one [Eb] else [F] can find me
[Gm] And [Cm] decidedly [F]
remind me
[Bb] Of the happiness and [F] the good times I've [Dm] done, no
[G] Well, [Dm] I guess I just [A] got to know
[Dm] [C] Here's what she's got to [Gm] say
Or [Fm] how she thinks or [Bb] where she's [C] been
To
[G] me, the [Bb] words are nice [Cm] the way they [F] sound
[Bb] [F]
I [C] like taking them the sad [Gm] way
It doesn't [F] much matter what they [C] mean, you know
She [G] sends them [Bb] mostly just [Cm] to calm me [C] down
I've eaten fine [G] anytime
[F] But she's [C] around me now
[B] She's [Am] around me now
[Dm] I [G] guess just about [C] [Dm] all the time
[F] If I've [C] been well, you can [G] tell
That [F]
she's been [C] with me now
[B] She's been [Am] with me [Dm] now
Quite a [G] [F] long, [Gm]
[F] long time
[C] Yes, and I feel fine
[Bb] [F] [C]
[Dm] [Cm]
