Chords for Peter Frampton “Show Me the Way” Acoustic on the Stern Show (2016)

Show me the way and baby.
I love your way to of your biggest hits you write on the same day.
Yeah, what a day _
Is there anything special about that day?
Were you particularly relaxed?
Were you were you driving and what was happening that day?
Let's recreate that day.
It was
What happened that day?
I'm not sure if it was Raisin Bran or cornflakes
Left side of the bed right side of the bed.
I don't know you don't know
I don't know but I I had had I was there in the Bahamas for for three weeks to write
That's all I had to write the album first two weeks.
I was why did you only have three weeks to write?
I had to come back
We had a studio booked right to start the Frampton album and show me the way and baby
I love your way you wrote entirely yourself.
Yes.
Yeah, you just sit down you take out the guitar
There's something must have been going on in your head, right?
You're sitting there in the in the warm weather.
You're nude _ _
_ _ _ Was there a girl in your life that inspired these songs I assume they're their love songs
Yeah, so they were written for someone.
Yes was that woman with you?
Where were you apart from her at that point apart?
You were apart?
Yeah, do you call her on the phone code?
You're not gonna believe I wrote two songs about you _ _ _ _
Because she was married at the time.
Oh, she was mad.
Oh you devil
So I couldn't call you mean in other words those songs were written about a woman
Yes that you had had a love affair with was hoping to was hoping to yeah, but she was married
Yes, so you were pining away for her.
I
_ I'm not sure if it was the actual pining but but I was a longing should we call it a longing a longing?
Did you ever act on it?
I mean, did you did you ever?
Hook up with her in the end.
Yeah, I bet because you've written these songs about her for God's sakes
If that isn't the greatest aphrodisiac, so she leaves her husband.
She leaves her husband for you because of these songs
Yeah, yeah, unfortunately
_ _ _ _ But but you didn't look at it that way the heart wanted what the heart wanted right she was a married woman
She was unobtainable and you want her
Do you think she was more attractive to you because she was married and she was forbidden fruit probably yes
Yeah, I think so.
And so show me the way let's take you back now.
We're on the island
Yes, you're apart from the woman you are fantasizing about.
Yes, you sit down and in a matter of minutes
This comes pouring out of you take it away and don't be nervous boys and do a good job.
