Chords for Stevie Nicks - CBS Sunday Interview (November 2020)

The waiting is, well, the hardest part.
It seems like for so many creative people, this is a very creative time, but also time
is slipping away.
_ Time is being stolen from all of us.
_ Absolutely.
_ Especially if you're 72 years old.
Does that weigh on you? _ _ _
Yeah, it does.
_ When you're really working, you [D] really stay young.
You stay young because you have to.
But when you're just sitting around [Am] in your house, _ _ I think that _
[F] old man time [G] starts to
get a hold of you. _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [A] Still, it seems that old man time has always been kind to Stevie [D] Nicks.
_ _ _ It's a trip.
You can see it in her just released feature film, 24 Karat Gold, [D] The Concert, where [C] she
looks and [F] sounds pretty much the same as she always did.
Come [Bb] with me.
The _ [G] movie will stream soon, [C] but for the moment, it's being shown [Am] in socially [E] distanced theaters.
It's as close to a really [F] big rock and roll concert [Ab] in a big venue [Fm] as you're going to get.
_ Please God on [Fm] this day.
And it's not [Ab] the only way Stevie's [Cm] making herself heard these days.
She decided to release her [F] first new song in six [Db] years, Show Them the Way, as a call
[F] for action on the eve of the election.
[Ab] Show them [Eb] the [Db] _ _ way.
_ _ [G] _ [F] Now there you [G] go again, you [F] say you want your [G] freedom.
[F] And now some of her [G] classic tunes are suddenly climbing the charts again, [F] thanks to a cranberry
juice loving Idaho skateboarder [F] who posted this video on TikTok.
[G] _ _ _ _ So [G] four decades [F] after Dreams and Rumors [B] came out, they're [D] both in the top 10 again.
I know.
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] The videos inspired quite a [G] few imitators, including bandmate [F] Mick Fleetwood.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
And last week, [Dm] this one from the lady [G] herself. _
_ _ [G] This TikTok thing [F] has kind of blown my mind.
[G] _ And I'm happy about it because it seems to have made so many people happy.
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ You could say making people [Gb] happy has been [Bm] Stevie Nick's calling for the past 50 [Em] years or so.
And after [Bm] a career of platinum selling [G] albums and sold out concerts, she became the first
and so [A] far only woman to [F] be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
22 men that are in twice for their solo work and being in a big band and no women. _
Until you.
Until me.
So I feel that I definitely broke a big [N] rock and roll glass ceiling.
And her backstory is just as legendary.
When young Stevie dropped out of college to chase her musical dreams, her parents cut
her off financially.
So she waited tables and cleaned houses to support herself and her then boyfriend, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.
Were there moments when you were cleaning?
I mean, you were like cleaning houses, scrubbing toilets, mopping floors.
Was there a moment when you thought, oh, I made a mistake?
No, _ _ no, because I was doing that to support my music pals, Lindsey and some other friends
too, you know, that didn't have hardly anything.
So I was the one who actually was able to pay the rent and pay the money to keep our toilet running.
And so it's it's like I didn't mind at all because I did not expect my boyfriend, Lindsey,
to get a job because what in the world would he do?
_ _ So you had to be the one.
It was all about me.
[Dbm] By the time she became a member of Fleetwood [Bm] Mac, she almost [E] expected to be [B] underestimated.
So she [E] had an arrangement with the group's other female star, Christine McVie.
Can you hear me? _ _
_ [B] You [Gb] two stuck together through thick and thin and really had each other's backs.
Yeah, we did.
[E] And Christine and I, we made a pact at the very beginning that if we were ever in a room
of super famous guitar [B] players that didn't treat us with the respect that we [D] thought
that we deserved, that we would just stand up and say this party's over and we would walk out.
And did you have to do that?
We never actually [B] did have to do that.
So that was a nice surprise.
[G] We never had to make a scene.
And [Em] their friendship endures.
Stevie Nicks' [A] romantic relationships seem to be more of a [Em] challenge, but they inspired
some great [E] music.
_ _ _ [G] _
Have _ [A] [Em] you had a _ love, a great love in your life?
_ _ _ Yeah, three.
_ _ _ _ _ But it's not easy to be Mr.
Stevie Nicks, _
[Gbm] even if [Em] you happen to be Mr.
Really Famous _
Rockstar Guy.
[D] So Lindsay falls in that category, the great loves?
[F] Oh, absolutely.
Well, _ not exactly. _ _
_ Lindsay [Bb] has his own category.
[C] Lindsay was my great musical [Bb] love.
_ [F] That's different.
It all comes down to you.
Well, you know that doesn't work.
Stevie Nicks' dad once told her she'd never marry because her music would always come [C] first.
He was wrong.
[F] She married once, briefly.
But dad was also right.
For [D] Stevie Nicks, music will always be her true love.
[C] When I'm 90 years [N] old, I don't want to be laying in my big, gorgeous bedroom and, _ _ you
know, 15 little Chinese-crested dogs and going like, oh, I'm so brokenhearted that
I didn't find the one.
And then I would have to answer myself and say, yes, but you did find several the ones
who you wrote really great songs about.
And that's why you're living in this absolutely spectacular house _ _ _ with everything that you
want and anything that you could possibly want to buy.
And it's like, [F] so maybe [Eb] this is just [Bb] all the way your dad [Cm] saw it when he said, Stevie [Bb] will
never get married.
_ _ [F] _ And the way it's supposed to be.
And the way it's supposed to be.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
