Chords for Keith Richards - Interview 1986 (Dirty Work)

The Rolling Stones record but everybody has to put in their max at the end
It's just a matter of when the people that arrived in Paris and Nick wasn't [F#] there for a few nights
And so they sort of say [B] oh, yeah, he's there pulling the shots and I'm learning sort of [E] gross exaggerated
Just winding the [D#] band up.
You know [E] the impression given though is that you're the man that warrants the band up
Yeah, I guess I mean that respect I guess I am but that's [F] I always am you know
For that because you know [E] with the guitars and the [G#] drums and I mean I I
Have to play and I have to get them to play, you know
So that make [D#] us something decent to sing to you know, really and so I mean I am the winder up in that respect
Yeah, the impression given is that they're there for chaps who've got hobbies and so forth and other
Obvious parts of their life.
Whereas you're the bloke who lives for the Rolling Stones
[D] _ Yeah, I guess
It's _ [E] not that I don't have any other interests I was after I've got a family and kids and I
Don't spend my time in fret work on [G#m] it.
I guess no I I
_ Really enjoy playing with the stones.
I've played with loads of other people too, you know
_ [G] but um
And as good as any of the other people are but I really enjoy doing the way I think that I can put [Em] across
Whatever it is I do I can do it best through the stones
Would it be [F#] true to say that your life [G#m] changed after 1977 when you're [E] arrested in Toronto for a possession of heroin
[F] It's very difficult for me to [C#] talk about what I was like [C#m] before _
The Toronto incident because I you know, it is all a bit of a haze to me
I mean if I want to know what I did certain in [G#] those years, I have to ask Bill [F#] Boylan
Who keeps the archives?
Yeah, and yes, oh you were out of it, man
[G#] How long were you out of it for?
Um
Seriously [E] when I was working I would be straight, [F#] you know, I clean up the tears and I
[E]
In retrospect, I guess I wrote a problem.
I had was adrenaline, you know, [F] I mean I could never come down off of a tour
[E] I mean my I'd go home everybody would disappear and I'd be and my body would be saying
Where's the next gig?
[C#] It [G] would just keep on going and I'd know [E] what would happen that I'd eventually
go back to the stuff again just to calm down, you know, and I _
You know [F#] venture here going to deal with that in the last nine years because it's been a long time since you know
_ [G] Yeah
It's been a long time since I got into that and I sort of forget about it, you know
And this I mean, [F] I'm well aware that it all went on but it's it is it's very [G] different for me
_ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ [A] I
Guess I've grown up.
So [F#] what's your relationship like with the other stones nowadays when you all get together?
Does it just click straight away?
Oh, yeah
[N] Yeah, I mean, it's I mean the only family up until recently that I've had for a while
Yeah, I mean they're the constant ones in it.
We've had a great deal about your relationship with Nick
[F#] Recently that you want to go on tour and Mick doesn't want to go on tour and that's the cause of tension
[N] Is that the case?
Yeah, but I mean, it's no I mean
[F#] You don't [C] do a gig like this without having fights [F#] occasion.
This one just happens to pop out into public, you know
Yeah, I thought the stone [D] should go on the road this year as I say, I'm a selfish guy
I like to I guess what [F#] I really like to do.
So I mean
I was just sort of pushing [F#m] my own thing in there
But [D] um at the same time if somebody doesn't want to do it, you know, you can't
[G#m] Force them, you know and because [F#] you wouldn't be doing the audience a favor [N] or the band, you know
You everybody's got to want to do it seems to be some rather violent material on this record
I'm thinking particularly of songs like fight _
[F] Yes
_ [D] With this I mean there [F] always has been on stones out.
I mean it
_ _ [D] it's um, I
Mean the [G] music lends itself to that we've all you know, [F] I mean
I mean from street fighting
Too much blood.
Yeah, [E] that's it's a theme that runs through life and it things that runs through our music
I suppose, you know, then you have a [N] stop and think isn't this rather distasteful?
Well, of course, it's distasteful, you know, especially if you're on the receiving end, but I mean to sing about it
But I mean, what do you I mean if if you if you sort of stopped
_ Singing about things because they're distasteful you're reduced to sort of singing about embroidery
You don't you [D#] know nice Ming China.
You don't think you occasionally been guilty of [E] relishing it rather too much
I don't think no, I [F] don't think any of [F#] the accused of relishing [D] the violence.
It's
_ [A#] we'd be doing ourselves [G] and and and
And [G#] the audience that display, you know, [D] we wouldn't be doing them a favor by ignoring [N] it, you know
I mean, I think one of the things the stones have always done is
_ Laid it out there as kind of as
