Chords for Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" Behind The Scenes

Oh, yeah! _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ Yeah, [Db] y'all know what it is.
[Gb] _ Katy Perry.
_ Welcome [Bbm] to the behind the scenes for Dark Horse.
We're rolling on the River Nile.
Let's rave!
And here you are.
You were gonna come to me.
And here you are.
But you better choose carefully.
Hope you guys brought your passport for this one,
because we're taking you to Memphis, Egypt.
Of anything and everything.
That's right, Memphis, Egypt.
It [Bb] exists.
It inspired the real location, Memphis, Tennessee.
It just so happens that Juicy J is from [Bbm] Memphis, Tennessee.
So I thought, Juicy J, me, you know, Cleopatra,
or some version of, [Gb] and put them together,
and you get Memphis, Egypt.
[Db]
Here we are.
Yeah!
[Bb] _ Boy, you [Ab] should know what you're falling [Gb] for.
_ [Bbm] Today's day one of [Ab] two, so today we're doing three [Gb] looks
out of the six looks that Katy [Db] has.
And they're all so different.
[Bbm] I'm so excited about this video.
This is such a cool take on the song.
[Bb] We've got grills, we've got [Ab] bling,
and then throwing in [Bbm] a sneaker.
Why not, right? _
_ _ _ _ We're about to go into [Cm] the tomb where we're going to [Bb] meet
Juicy J in the sarcophagus.
I call it the [Bbm] esophagus, because I don't know the difference.
I know it's not the same thing, okay?
Let's rave!
And here you are.
_ You were gonna come to me.
[F] So I walk into the video shoot for Dark [Bb] Horse,
and I notice it looks like a major motion picture. _ _ _ _
Box office hit.
Smash hit.
And [Bbm] everything.
Make me a wolf and die. _
It's a great vibe here on the set today,
and obviously I feel like I'm in a neck brace,
so I can't [Cm] move much, but I'm [Bb] doing my best.
[Bbm] We are just having a blast.
It's a very special day, because our song, [Gb] _ what?
Number one.
It went number one.
[Db] Are you ready _ _ [Bbm] for_
[Ab] You having fun?
I'm having [Gb] too much fun.
You gotta get a close-up on [Db] his grill.
It [Bbm] says, stay trippy, man. _ _ _
Pop a champagne tonight.
_ _ Celebration. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I woke up like [Bbm] this.
Day one of Dark Horse,
and [C] this is the third and [Gb] final look of the day.
This look is [Bb] called ISIS.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ For _
[Db] _ day one [Bbm] on Dark Horse, we had a lot of [Ab] fun.
All the costumes [Gb] are magnificent,
[Db] and should be put in a museum.
[Bbm] And then tomorrow, it's gonna be really exciting,
because there's gonna be a big procession,
a big kind of festival of people coming to greet me
and bring me gifts, and I basically get to see
which are my favorite gifts, and see if I want them.
And sometimes if I don't want them,
then they get to be turned into something else
that maybe I do want.
[Bb] So we have a lot of fun friends visiting us tomorrow,
and a lot more for the [Gb] eyes to see. _ _ _
[Db] _ With [Bbm] magic.
_ Boy, you [Ab] should know what you're falling [Gb] for.
So the last [Db] thing we just shot was the beginning
[Bbm] of the festivities and the procession.
[Ab] _ Basically, a [Gb] guy is trying to win my heart
by [Db] bringing me what looks like the Hope [Bbm] Diamond,
_ the world's [Ab] biggest diamond.
I _ [Gb] _ _ think it's great, [Db] but I think he could have probably
been a little bit more [Bbm] creative.
So I take the diamond from him, I check it out,
and then I turn it into a grill.
_ And that is what we call the million dollar mouth.
It's actually worth a million [Bb] bucks.
I don't get to keep it or anything.
_ All this has to kind of go back to the shop
and turns into a pumpkin at midnight.
_ But yes, I will be putting a million bucks in my mouth.
[Gb] No big deal. _
Hey, [Db] are you ready for _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Gb] this?
So we had a very special [Db] visitor on the set [Bbm] today,
a little Pomeranian [Gb] called Jif.
And he was basically the star of the show,
[Bbm] stealing all of my thunder.
I think he was stealing everybody's thunder.
This is mainly why I love doing music videos,
is because I get to meet friends like Jif.
My court, which are made [Bb] up of my katy cats, of course,
my Egyptian katy cats, _ they were very surprised
to see a dog in the court, because they don't typically
go for [Gb] that.
And when the Pomeranian came down to [Bb] give me a present
or to, you know, win my love over,
_ _ [Gb] they frightened him [E] away.
One, two, three. _ _
_ _ _ Oh.
[Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Oh.
That's how it goes, [Bbm] you know, cats and dogs,
they chase [Ab] each other.
So Jif was [Gb] adorable, and we wish we could just make
[Db] a whole music video that had Jif in [Bbm] it.
Oh, he's a big cheese.
This is going bad.
_ _ So many kings are bringing me gifts.
Some are bringing me diamonds, some are bringing me,
like, _ gods and statues.
Someone's bringing me a hydraulic chariot.
_ [Gb] _ _
[Bb] I wasn't sure whether the thing was going to break apart.
It was like duct tape, like, hanging, you know,
holding the thing together.
Like, it would have done one more bounce, like,
the whole thing would have, [B] like, broken a million pieces,
but we got [Bbm] our shot, so.
_ _ _ Others, like my king right here, hey,
he's bringing me a feast of all of my favorite foods,
_ Twinkies, Flamin' [Gb] Hot Cheetos, and [Db] Krispy Kreme donuts.
_ [Bbm] Basically a well-balanced [Ab] pop star diet.
I guess this guy [Gb] knows right.
Way to my heart, through junk food.
[Bbm] But I'll have a heart attack, so.
[Ab] I think that's probably the plan.
You want to be the [Eb] king.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Gb] I want to be Pharaoh.
_ [Db] All right. _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] The last guy is [Gb] maybe the most powerful pharaoh of all of them.
The final transformation is essentially her
turning him into, like, [Bb] a miniature sphinx.
You know, the guy's transformed, but he's very happy
to be her lapdog is the implication.
It's just 2 shots that are comped together.
One is a shot of this guy on his knees panting like a dog,
and then the other shot is actually a chihuahua.
It's a very disturbing image, that's for [Db] sure.
[Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ There's no going [Gb] back.
This is like my day, love.
I love it.
I'm [Cm] silver because I was just placed in [Bbm] _ a
Mount Rushmore-like statue thing,
but from Egyptian times.
And also I'm related to the Tin Man. _ _ _ _
We had a great time.
I think we [Gb] made a great music video.
We love [Db] our director, Matthew.
_ [Bbm] And I like that I got to [Ab] incorporate cats in [Gb] the storyline,
as [Db] I try and do.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ She's a rock star, but she's also a rock [Gb] star when it comes to working.
It's [Db] pretty tremendous, you know,
like how many [Bbm] wardrobe changes we went through with her.
[Ab] You know, the only way to get that done [Gb] is just
for Katie not to sleep a [Db] lot.
Best game, Katie, man.
Big [Bbm] hand! _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] Thank you very much, guys.
That's a [Bbm] wrap! _ _
_ _ _ _ There's no going back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
