Chords for Santana IV EPK: The Making of Santana IV

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ Da da da da da da da da da Bark! _
Yeah.
One, two, three.
[A] _ _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The concept came from Neil Sean.
You know, he, everywhere I went, he was there.
I had this idea in my head to do [G#] a guitar zoo.
Give big names of guitar players with one massive backup band that could, you know,
take on anything that anybody wanted to play.
And I said, why don't we instead call the original band?
Call Greg and call Michael and Michael and the original band and let's do it that way.
To me it was like a no-brainer.
There was magic that always came from that entity.
It just felt like it was the right [F#] time for us to partake in this chemistry _ that Santana [Am] is.
_ _ So tell me what you [D] wanna do, [Am] _ _ _ where [D] you wanna [Em] go.
_ [Am] _ _ We can fly, we can drive, we can walk.
Baby, I don't know.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
And maybe [D] take the tops down.
[Am] Woo!
With the [D] wind in your hair.
_ _ [Am]
Maybe to the beach [D] or the [Am] mountains.
You know I don't care, [D] I don't care, [Am] I don't care. _ _ _ _ _ _
I'll take you where you want to go. _
It's really [Em] fun, you know, and it's a lot of joy because there's a lot of _ deep appreciation
and we value each other now.
We know each other because we kind of grew up on music together and then went off in different [E] realms.
But when you get back together and you start playing and hearing tones and hearing _ the
inflections and all that, it just becomes simple. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's nothing like this team of musicians and I relate to it a lot like a baseball team.
[N] Everybody's got their position and when we go out to play it's a positive thing.
[Em]
[A] There's a lot of stuff being created on the spot, which is what we always did in the past.
We're going for [G] raw and then working with [A] that.
We're not [E] doing stuff over and over again so the energy is really fresh [D] all the time.
When we start [E] playing to a click, putting it [D] together piece by piece by piece, it may
sound really well produced but you're not going to have [E] the natural flow or the magic
that happens with all the things that happen that are actually not perfect but that have _ _
[D] a great feel to [A] them.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I think the sound is really [N] universal and Carlos of course has a sound like nobody else.
The notes that he [Am] chooses are unique.
He's like a _ master of [Dm] melody. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] I knew the guy in high school and I went like, I want to try some of this.
Because he was different.
[N] Greg was different.
Michael Shreves was different.
And that's one of the things that was known about Santana.
We brought a different [Am] flavor to music. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
We don't have the problem [Dm] of you got to get a radio hit so we get to [Em] explore more,
which Carlos is great [D#m] at.
_ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ Love makes the world go round.
Love _ makes the world go round.
Love makes the world go round.
This song is going to be a smash record.
And I was thinking if I can add something to the song that would really bring this lyric
out, [A#] how important it would be, especially in this time for right now.
We will heal this planet _ _ and the human race.
[D#] _ I feel it's going to be [G#m] like one of those songs that has the vibe to last forever.
_ [A#] _ _ You know music is the hidden language which the whole world understands the language.
[F#] _ _
But the feeling of just being a part of this, these are my true inspirations.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [C#m] This [G] is like a garage [B] band.
I mean, you know, [Em] a bunch of friends [F#] in a garage, but it's on this other planet.
[Bm] _ _
[A] Santana brings a [Bm] lion roaring in [A] thunder that is [G] more than [Bm] cute charisma or anything like that.
[F#] And it is special what this group of guys can do.
[Bm] Nobody else can play. _
_ [A] _ You [Bm] take people's attention from whatever [E] they thought was important [Em] and then the sound,
resonance and vibration makes [F#] them feel what's really important in their lives.
[B] And what's important [Bm] in your life is for you [A] to value [Bm] yourself from the point of
[A] there's a lot of light in you.
[Em] There's a lot of wisdom in you.
There's a lot of beauty and grace [G#] in you. _ _
This is [F#] a really [E] special, [B] very important project [Em] for me because
you've been there once before a long, long time ago.
[Am] And it was such an amazing experience.
[Em] It was something that I only wished and I [C] imagined that would happen twice in [Em] your life.
_ [C] Anything that makes your [D] mind remember, that [Em] forgot the song inside you
[D] that wants to come out, [F#] feels [C] really good.
The music's unique, but it's [Am] recognizable.
I think [G] real Santana fans will [C] be blown away. _
_ Get ready to [B] partake in [Bm] something that is _ [A] supremely delicious.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
