Chords for SAHB - Lifetime Achievement Award SNMA 2011

_ _ _ _ In 1976, _ _ when I was 18 years old, _ _ I went to the Parkhead football [N] stadium to _ watch a World Cup.
It _ was the third time I saw the World Cup stadium. _ _
I fell asleep during the whole thing [Abm] and woke up just as I had gotten onto the stage and [A] completely [C] glowed away.
_ I was at the end of my hot roll [A] with the Spanish [Bbm] music. _ _
_ [Eb] I loved the Spanish music.
[N] There were fine guys, don't you?
They were [Gb] just fine.
And the others, and we, there was no music.
It was the music that made [Bbm] me grow up.
[Gb] The way they performed, the dancers, the blues.
I was a little boy and the [Abm] entire audience on [Bb] the stage wanted to [G] embrace me.
_ I [Bm] am in heavenly [Bb] honour to be standing in the place [A] tonight.
I've been given the special, the _ biggest award.
I saw it.
[E] It was the World Cup.
I've never seen a world putting so [Abm] much love and care into something like that.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Gb] I'm in heaven.
I'm on _ stage.
[B] It's magical. _
_ _ [Abm] Please, give it up for me.
[Bb] Tonight I am [Fm] in heaven.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] Thank you all.
Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen.
_ _ _ My old man would have loved this, [G] so many years later and [Ab] still doing fine, eh?
_ _ [A] Listen, I met these boys [N] when I was _ 12, a _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] long, long time ago, and I never, never thought
I'd be [E] saying this.
[D] Ladies and gentlemen, I would [B] like to introduce you to my dad's [E] band, _ _
_ _ _ _ the sensational Alex Harvey-Bunn.
[N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Ladies and gentlemen, _ _ [Eb] we've stepped up the walk from
Scottish Music [Ab] Awards. _
_ _ We're happy to be the first band to [B] get a lifetime achievement
[Abm] award.
_ I [Bb] know the rest of you seem [N] fairly eloquent.
_ _ I'd also like to really say we're
in the challenges of getting both of these things out.
A music festival at 12 years of
age, because we all wear [Ab] _
something to put [Eb] us together with, you know?
Yes, I mean, next year we [Ab] should have an award for road manager [N] and technical deal.
Thank you, and we'll be back. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[E] _ Hello.
It's not a good feeling to get an [Eb] award of any kind, _ especially this first one.
I'm a bit of [F] a tight-fisted [E] sports kid.
I'm [Eb] the open secret for putting this [E] together.
The big ladies there are already on board.
_ _ _ _ Very brave, very brave man, I would [Eb] say.
_ [E] _ _
I'd like to [Ebm] thank Alex Harvey for giving [Abm] me six
of the most enjoyable [A] _ [N] rollercoaster years of my career. _ _
_ _ I'm pretty [G] sorry that my dad wasn't [Abm] here.
He can't be here because it's not too hot at
the moment, but [Dm] he's fine and he'll be back.
_ _ [E] He was the first guy I ever played with and
[Eb] he's the first musician I ever actually made a few months.
It's a _ shame he's not here with
us tonight. _ _
This is a [Ebm] really beautiful hat, a really special one.
I [N] think you'll agree
with the truth about what he wants with anyone.
Thank you, I hope [Eb] you're off to get another award.
Before I go to see him, I want to hand you over to the [N] Oscar winner, Clarence.
_ _ _ _ Clarence, I'd like to say a [Ab] big thank you to the awards, a [D] big thank you to Glasgow,
[C] and even a bigger thank you to [E] Scotland.
_ I hope we get into the [Bb] next generation.
[Ab] _
_ _ _ [Gb] And just remember, we [Ab] can do it without a dog.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] And [D] now I'd like to hand you over [Gb] to the last four who get to them [Ab] without us,
[N] over the guy who stood in front of you, and Alex, the star of the award, David Bowie.
_ _ Well, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ I'm humbled, humbled [Gb] entirely.
I didn't think I deserved it.
I mean, they're like
a big [Ab] achievement of philosophers.
_ [F] 1972 to 77.
They _ outclassed any Scottish band ever.
It was his electricity, his music, his music,
since he was an electric guitar.
[Bb] There's nothing better than this [Abm] sensational act. _
_ _ _ Fucking quality of musicianship, fucking fucking_
_ [E] I'm not_
_tiredness,
no emotion of the day, but more than all that, imagination [N] _
is what it's all about.
And not scared to be an underachiever.
_ _ _ _ _ _ All that to [Eb] be part of, all I tried to do, get [Ab] a strong result, get a [B] medal for the next one,
[Eb] Amy, I see you in there.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [E] You've all been terrible, girls. _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
