Chords for Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings [The Man, The Music]

[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] Well, it [G] was my [D] first touring [Bm] band, really, under [E] my own name.
And I loved the guys, I loved what [A] they could do.
_ We did a tour where they were playing material from Acolyte [G] and Please Don't Touch.
And even [F] though they [D] didn't actually play on those records, they [E] really gave it everything live.
[D] And we did a great tour, and I thought, well, wow.
We [G] had to come up with a little more [A] material, so there were a couple of things that would [G] become _ _ _ [C] part of the [D] subsequent album, which was Spectral [A] Mornings.
So, [G] I think [N] Clocks was really designed as a stage [Ab] thing, and the title track, Spectral Mornings, was designed originally as a vocal piece.
_ And I played it to the guys on guitar to illustrate the vocal piece that I thought should be done.
And Pete Hicks, the singer, said, well, it sounds great on guitar, Steve, why don't you just stick like that?
And I thought, oh, this would sound more like an Elton John song [D] if it had _ [C] lyrics on it.
It was going to be somewhere between Elton John and Randy Newman, maybe.
_ _ But of course it came out as progressive.
_ And we recorded in Holland.
It was very, very cold.
It was 15 degrees below freezing Fahrenheit, as it was in those days.
And _ _ frozen lakes in Holland, the Phonogram Studios.
_ _ _ Again, very little sleep.
Lots of partying.
So it was really a party that happened on record.
We weren't straight.
We weren't sober for it. _ _
And yet it was a very cohesive _ album, I think.
I felt very relaxed, very excited about this thing that we were building.
I did think that it sounded wonderful.
There were just some very long sessions way into the night, as I remember. _
Various _ frequent trips to the drinks cabinet, which got us through those times.
It was absolutely freezing, as I recall. _ _ _
Yes, I think it was quite frozen.
The lake was frozen outside.
And there were people doing handbrake turns on the lake.
It was _ _ _ good fun.
You know, Nick Magnus had this _ extraordinary sound.
He had a thing called a vox string thing.
And when I first met him, _ I said,
I don't suppose you've got a sound like a church organ or a pipe organ.
He said, yes.
And he pressed the switch.
And he'd done this thing.
He'd hooked up all the various octaves on this thing.
And from this _ _ keyboard that I thought _ wasn't going to be able to do anything like that,
it came out with this glorious pipe organ sound,
which is the sound you hear on Spectral Mornings. _ _ _
