[C]
was at Olympic 67, messing around on the piano in Studio A, with some jazz chords.
I love to play jazz, just my off moments in the studio.
[Dbm] [C] Jimmy walks in and says, hey, what are those chords?
Show me those chords.
And I said, oh, OK, I'll show you the chords.
[Cm] [Dbm] That was cool, [Eb] man.
Listen, you play it on this track.
I said, no, no, no, no, I'll show you the chords, you play it.
And I showed him the chords and Spanish Castle Magic, here we go.
[C]
[Eb] [C] [C]
[Eb] [Bb] What I did there was I just isolated the piano part so you could all hear what it [Gb] was, that clang.
And it's such a percussive, cool piano.
It [A] sounds like knives cutting through.
And I really compressed it and [D] EQ'd it to death so it really would cut through.
Because it had to [F] compete with a bunch of bloody marshals.
But it's such an integral part of Spanish Castle Magic.
And he actually used it on a couple of other songs, that same chordal structure.
It's an [Eb] augmented ninth chord.
[Em] One of [G] the very [Eb] edgy tracks on this album.
