Chords for Me! - A Visit From Dave Grohl 1996

_ _ [C] _ _ _ Everybody is sitting on my _ _ _ [Gm] body.
Both _ [C] _ _ you do things the [F#m] way that I [G] do.
I am right. _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ Welcome to me.
Well, before getting started, I want
to respond to a letter I received last week
from Sylvia Jensen.
_ Sylvia writes, dear me, I subscribe to Martha Stewart's
Better Living magazine, and she says
that for a rich and creamy potato salad,
it's best to use both mayonnaise and sour cream.
What do you think?
Love, Sylvia.
_ Well, Sylvia, I think that Martha Stewart doesn't
know jack about potato salad, or anything else for that matter.
Or I think you're an idiot for listening to her.
And finally, if you ever mention Martha Stewart to me again,
I will drive to your house and shove so much potato salad
down your throat that you'll never again want
to eat a potato of any kind.
_ Understand?
_ OK, good.
OK, well, my special guest today is a world famous rock star.
He was the drummer in the band The Nirvana,
and he's _ since formed a new band, Food Fighters,
in which he is lead singer.
Now, he's won MTV Music Awards and has recently
been nominated for two Grammy Awards.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dave Grohl.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ OK, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
that's enough.
That's enough.
Now, Dave, I just love having you on me.
Well, I love being on _ you.
_ _ And I understand that your album, Food Fighters,
has gone gold.
That's right.
Yes, that's right.
And I'm so excited because you are
going to play us a song from your new album.
Isn't that right?
Well, no, actually, I really need the whole band
to do something like that.
Oh, no, you don't.
No, what I'd like to do is I'd like to talk
about how I compose my music.
Well, you can do that afterwards.
Just play one little song.
Come on.
Oh, I'd rather not.
Play _ a song, please.
Fine.
One little song for us. Fine.
Yay, OK, OK.
_ _ _ This song [C]
is called Big Me.
Big Me, perfect for me.
When I talk about [Am] it, carries on, [G] _
reasons only [F] move.
_ [C] When I talk about [Am] it, carries [G] on, reasons only [F] move.
_ _ [E] _
_ Big Me, [F] to talk about [C] it, I could stand still.
_ [A] _ [E] _
If we [F] can get around it, I know that's [G] the truth.
When [C] I talk about [N] it.
_ _ I'm sorry to interrupt, but that last chord,
it should have been an A minor.
_ No, actually, _ it's supposed to be a C.
Dave, honey, I've done a bit of composing in my day,
and clearly that was meant to be an A minor.
Well, unfortunately, I wrote the song.
_ I know.
Oh, no, I'm getting irritated, Dave.
Oh, no.
Look, I can see how you might have thought that.
And I can see that you're just an untalented, stubborn idiot
who doesn't know how to admit when he's wrong.
_ _ I'm sorry, what did you just say?
I'm sorry, too, because _ it's obvious
that I'm just going to have to play the song myself.
I don't think that you're actually going to.
Give me the guitar!
Oh, my God!
You wrecked it!
_ _ I'm not the one who played the wrong chord.
This was a gift from Tom Petty!
Oh, I love him!
Can you give me some tickets for his next show?
_ What? _
Great, give me those tickets.
OK, well, you know something?
We're out of time.
So join me tomorrow when we'll learn how to_
Oh, my God.
And we'll have a live in-studio demonstration
on the correct way to poop.
The correct way to perform laser eye surgery.
So until [C] then_
Everybody is getting on my nerves.
_ _ _ [Dm] Everybody is pissed.
_ _ [C] _ I won't give you a [F#] thing.
The way that I [Gm] do.
I am right [C] and you are wrong.
Me!
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [N]
_gathered
for a Save Our Seahawks rally
in Occidental Park.
Hey, John?
Oh, hi there.
I'm taking off, but I want to make sure
that you guys take care of this guitar.
What do you mean?
That you fix it.
Yeah, oh, yeah, sure, Dave.
Is that OK?
Yeah, yeah.
I'll just leave it right over here.
Yeah, OK, sure. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Get right on that, Dave.
We'll get right on that.
OK.
_ _ _ _ Anyway_
