Chords for JUSTIN HAYWARD JUDY FINNIGAN INTERVIEW-5.JUNE.1981

The Moody Blues would be playing to a packed house at the Apollo.
They arrived in Manchester this afternoon and Justin Haywood talked to Judy.
But first, this is how they sound now, a long, long time after.
Go now, remember that one, and of course the classic Nights in White Satin, The Moody Blues. _

[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Cm] time, no see, [F] _ short time [Cm] for you and me.
_ _ So far, so good, [F] we're on the road [Cm] like you [Gm] knew we would.
[Cm] _ _ First night, so long, [F] _ state of mind, [Cm] what [Bb] can go wrong?
[Cm] _ _ We're here, the time is right, [F] to rock and roll [A]
until the number [Em] nine.
_ Make it [F] work, _ [G] make [Em] it work, [Am] make it [F] work out, [G] make it [C] work [Gm] out, make it [C] work out.
[Cm] Space [C] bright, _ candle light, [F]
you can't let go, [Cm] tonight's the night. _ _

glad to see [Cm] that you can too.
_ [A] _
There's a place, [Dm] a Gemini dream, [G]
there's no escaping [C] from the [Bb] love we have seen.
[A] That was The Moody Blues' latest [Dm] single, Gemini Dreams, and sitting next to me here is Justin Haywood, the lead singer.
He's not quite a founder member, but he has been with them now almost since the beginning.
Since 1966, yeah.
Don't you ever feel a bit, not to insult [D] you, but don't you ever feel a bit like a dinosaur?
You don't have to insult me now, do you?
I was going to say, don't you ever feel a bit like a dinosaur?
No.
You're always surrounded by all this [Ab] new wave music, the new romantics and everything.
[N] Yeah, well, you see, The Moody's is a band of principles, really.
I mean, we've always believed in doing the music that we want to play, not following any particular kind of trend.
So we've never got involved in any kind of fashion or any kind of trend.
It's passed us by, that kind of thing.
And I think the whole new wave thing was very good for the business.
It came at the time when the business needed a good kick up their behind, and that's exactly what it got.
Has it influenced your music [C] at all?
I don't think so.
Well, that's not fair to say it hasn't, because I don't think you can help but be [A] influenced by things that you hear.
[C] But not [Ab] directly, no.
We still [G] believe in the [N] same principles that we've always held.
We just want to make music that turns us on, and we feel that's our duty.
And by doing that, we're turning our audience on.
I think you've got a reputation in the business, all of you, as being very shrewd _ businessmen as well.
I mean, you've actually, you have done very well, haven't you?
_ No, I wouldn't say so, actually.
I think we're probably the most sued _ band that there is around, to be quite honest.
But we've _ managed ourselves, we've managed ourselves, let's put it that way, for a number of years.
And we've made a lot of mistakes ourselves, [Db] but we know we've only got ourselves to blame.
[G]
Last time I saw him was 12 years ago.
That dates me and him, I'm afraid.
