Chords for RUSH WITH KISS INTERVIEW

[E] You didn't know where you were going because sometimes your gigs would run out and you'd be in the States waiting to find out if [Ab] you're on another tour.
Run the [Gm] road!
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] Give me this time to run the road!
As soon [Ebm] as we heard that first Rush record, [Bb] we just went, what is this?
This is like Canadian Zeppelin.
Yeah!
[F] Oh, yeah!
What the [Bb] hell is that?
And we literally said, we want that band to open.
We then took them across America.
With Kiss, we probably played 50, 60 shows in the first couple of [Ab] tours where they were just this weird band from New York.
And we got very, very close.
[E] Let the [Gb] rockabillies now!
We're on the road, yeah, [Eb] yeah!
[Gm] _ You are the rock and roll!
_ [Eb]
Regardless of what you want to say about Kiss, musically or otherwise, there was no harder working band than Kiss.
And there was no band more determined to put on a [F] spectacular show and give people their money's worth [Bb] than Kiss.
That was a great thing to [A] see as an [Am] opening act.
We were so [Bb] impressionable and we were so green.
They were very good to us.
Those guys liked to have a good time, especially Gene.
And their hotels were always fun to watch.
[D] _ _ [Ab] Every night after the show, the girls would line up.
My God, you can even be an ugly bastard like me and get laid.
And none of the Rush guys ever [Eb] did it.
I just never understood it.
[Bb] I said, they're not gay.
No.
Farm animals?
No, that's not it.
_ What the_
did you do when you went back to your hotel room?
I mean, [E] I even remember one night, it was in Milwaukee, I think, and there was a [Ab] female bowling league sharing the same floor.
And they're walking around in their nightgowns and their doors, the hotel room doors are open and they're [Bb] drinking.
I'm the only guy in the Rush who met her in [D] the room, just watching TV after a gig.
[E] We probably woke up the next day going, God, [Ab] these Canadian bands [D] sure are [Em] boring. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [C] That [N] was a getting to know you period for us and Neil.
He was one of the weirdest people we'd ever met.
_ _ He [D] was so literate and so opinionated [E] before.
And it was hard for him.
He was always and still is the new guy in some strange way.
Alex and I were bonded old friends [Eb] and he had to kind of make his way to be part of that.
In some ways, he was very serious and we were totally goofy.
Certainly, he had a bigger brain than us.
That was the target.
What more perfect portable [D] education than having a lot of free time on your hands and bookstores everywhere.
So for the next few years, I'd say, basically, I started building those hours worth reading.
Look how many books he reads.
Look at the words he uses.
This guy is probably capable of [G] writing lyrics. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It was really stimulating, but really a mouthful.
The same [C] in a kind of rocking style that we were [Dm] doing at that [G] time.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ [A]
We _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ worked on songs [F] as we traveled.
My little handwritten lyric sheets for the [N] time.
I think I wrote the cities that all of those songs were written.
They varied [D] widely all over the map.
It was like the monkeys.
I was having an acoustic guitar [Gm] and we'd be working on a song in a [A] rental car in a hotel room [E] after a show.
That's how pretty much Fly By Night was written.
That's the way [D] bands used to do it.
They'd write the record while [A] they were on the road [Dm] and go home and cut it in two or three weeks and a new album [G] would appear every six months.
Pretty [Bb] amazing to think of that today.
