[D] Isn't it?

_ Yeah, well, that is the synth from the intro of Fox On The Run,
direct off the recording.
It was an afterthought.
We had recorded the song, and in the [N] usual fashion,
you'd have time to take it home and listen to it,
and then you think,
could just do with something on the beginning there.
And I remember it being the first thing before we started mixing.
I still had my ARP synthesizers in there, _
and I just started to fool around.
And remember, there's no computer to generate this,
it has to be done from the wildness of the sync.
There's nothing to generate a click for you to play to,
it's just _ time, you take it again, you take it again,
until you get the rhythm right. _
So it took a little bit of time to do,
but when the rest of the band came and we were halfway through the mixing
and they heard the intro, they were like, wow, that's [B] fantastic.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] We _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
[B] got to a point _ [A] with [E] the producers and the songwriters prior to this
where _ they were at loggerheads,
and it was starting [Am] to affect the band a little bit,
the fact that if they couldn't agree, then [B] where were we going to be?
So [F] we decided to [E] take our own [Bm] _ _ _ destiny into our own hands, really,
and if it hadn't been [A] for the _ record executive at _ RCA Records
telling us [E] that Fox on the Run is a commercial [A] enough single
for your next [B] single, [E] we may never have made the leap.
[A] So with a [E] kind of cloak and dagger [A] type of feeling,
we went into the studio _ _ behind [G#] the backs of everybody
_ Ian Gillan had just bought a studio
and _ it was the ideal place over a weekend when nobody was in,
and that's where we met our engineer, Louis [A] Austin,
who immediately understood what we were looking for.
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] But you [E]
don't love [B] the same
_ [A] The way you did before
The synthesiser kind of thing was starting [E] to creep in
_ as [C#] a kind of booster for [E] me, _ _ [A] as like a sound effect,
[E] something like another [A] bass to use or another layer of sound.
It was never designed to [Bm] be a lead instrument until Fox on the Run.
[A]
There's [E] been little bits of synthesiser bits in recordings along the way,
but nothing _ so [A] prominent. _
[E] It's probably the best sounding record that [A] we've made.
You know, _ [B] forget all the others, as a [A] sound.
I don't [G#m] mean as a commercial [B] thing, but it just so happened
that it coincided with us going to America for the first time,
hence it was [A] the biggest-selling record worldwide
because it was number 2 in America.
So we really felt like we'd made the right decision
by leaving everybody else behind and moving on.
[E] She's got _
[A] _ _ a [F#m] dream [E] and _ [B] _
[A] everybody's on
[E] I'll be [B] taking the [A] runners high and you shall fall away _
