Chords for Paul Simon and Herbie Hancock - from ‘Possibilities’ (2005)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] We were married on a rainy _ day.
_ _ The sky was [Dm] yellow and the grass was gray.
_ _ [A] _
We signed the papers [Dm] and we drove away.
[Am] _ [B] I don't know [Bb] who, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
who, _ _ _ _ [G] _ who's got me now.
[C] _ _ _ _
The [Db] _ _ _ concept of the record is that [Dm] it's _ _ a duet.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ The [Gb] vocals only have half _ of what's going on and the other half is, _ the other half is her.
_ _ _ [F] I'm [A] much more excited.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Paul mentioned maybe we could do it as a [C] duet.
I said to [B] Paul, what if we had [E] maybe two or three percussionists create [N] some kind of exotic rhythm track? _
[B] Percussion certainly [Gb] _ _ could _ [E]
allow the spirit of a duet and not interfere with it.
What are you guys thinking [N] rhythmically? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Paul Simon came to the recording studio a day earlier than [G] he was scheduled.
Actually, I got to the studio, [Bb] he was already there helping to organize the [D] percussion section.
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ sky [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ was yellow [C] and the [G] grass was gray.
_ [Db] _ [D] He did [E] do Graceland [Dm] _ combining a rhythmic track that [Bm] had kind of North African, Middle Eastern
_ influence.
_ [D]
It kind of [C] triggered those memories in [D] his head.
Even _ _ _ though [A] _ Herbie says, look, I don't want to make a jazz record.
_ _ No. _
[D] I think what he means is he doesn't [Am] want to make [B] a cliched jazz [Am] record. _
_ [G] Sky was yellow.
_ _ [A] _
_ Oh.
[D] _ _ [Em] The big surprise [E] was that he said to me, [D] hey Herbie, you think there's a way for you to
do my [Gm] tune in a minor key?
And I went, _ _ [Dm] _ hmm, _ yeah, I think so.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ Not only did Paul ask me if I could do this song in a minor key, but the other [Abm] suggestion
he made _ _
[Ebm] [Dm] was to do the song and just [D] have one minor chord.
_ _ [Bbm] And I thought about it _ and I said, well, [Dm] there's a way to approach that. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
