Chords for The La's - Interview and Timeless Melody

over we're on now _ _ _ this is the last [Abm] _ you [Bb] are and what about a brief history of
the band [Fm]
1066 William [Ab] the Conqueror [F] met me
[Eb] no we started in 1986 mainly but they were all ready to go but I met Lee in 86
like [Ab] through a lad called Mike Badger who had a thing called [Eb] the Lars but he went his
own way and we're still you know going and we kept the name like but we still have
our memories _ [Bb] there's an interesting story about I [Gb] don't know if I should
bring his name up but Steve Lily [Db] white you were working with him on the right
no I've [Bb] never met the guy but what's interesting is [B] I did meet him I thought
[Gb] he was really great producer at one [Ab] time [F] now I don't know how great he is anymore
but what intrigued me was the fact that you [Gb] said _ that [F]
he had a specific [Eb] method
of working but he sticks [G] to that's you know I'm just curious but what is that
method that [Ab] you guys method yeah what's his method of well I mean it's [N] not our
method put it that way you know it's very like you know _ [D] poppy and simple _
mindy obviously yeah you know what I'm saying like yeah and we're a bit more
Gucci so [F] you wanted to add a lot of special effects and you [F] _ know _ where we're
coming from is different from where he's coming from like and where we're heading
is different _ _ that's all that's just you know not personal that's just the [Eb] way it
is right that's life but is it is it the use of [Bb] technology that is different or
just the understanding of the songs [C] you understand enough what we are what it is
[Gb] that the caption basically _ how would you [Eb] describe the band you should set it
Lucy _ _ [Bm] finally the dust [Db] what people think it is like yeah [Eb] expected to be more
amazing beats or something don't be and poppy like a bit a bit harder than that
really like if you want to step outside and find out _ how do you [Bb] guys write songs
_ [F] _ _ [N] _
easily there's no step format _ together yeah you can write together we like to
pass [Fm] how the songs different when you write them apart I sing them and he
sings [Gb] them he wrote [Bb] the one that he writes [F] and I like one that [Gb] you see you
sing you sing the song that you write and you sing the songs you write [D] and
when you write together who wins _ _ both because you guys are together so you
[Eb] _ _
_ guys are from Liverpool so obviously you're like the Beatles right [Ab] no well we
like them as much as [Dm] anyone else but we don't wake up in the morning and put
them on every day you know remember them from [N] when I was younger you know I mean
_ people expect you to carry on the legacy [F] of the Beatles because you're from there
I [Db] don't know you [Eb] know I mean I just say like I let me let other people do the
talking you're saying they want to compare those two people that let them
like we just do what we do like enough fun _ why don't you play a song for since
you're warming up so wonderfully before what's that _ _ you're gonna say time this
melody [Bb] and what's the story about [Gm] an elephant [C] it's not about time let's
remember the story [F] message all right here we go this is the laws live on my
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ I'll just [Db] come with you
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] melody always finds [Gb] me [Db] whenever the thoughts reminds [Ab] me like breaking [Bb] a chain inside my [Gb] _ _ head
[Db] _
_ _ [Eb] _ a melody caught on _ _ [Gb] _ a [Db] rhythm _ _ unties [Eb] me
rising a sign of [Gb] time away _ _ _
_ [Db] if you [Fm] look [Db] in your mind do [Ab] you know what [Db] you will find
_ _ _ open your mind
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] even words they fail me
oh look what it did to _ me
I never say [Ebm] what I want [Gb] to _ say
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
it's only a [Ebm] word believe [Ab] me _
if only the world can see _ me
I promise to [Bb] stand up worse [Gb] _
away

always [Ab] finds me _ whenever [Ab] the thoughts reminds me
Like breaking [Ebm] a chain inside my [Gb] _ _ [Ab] head. _
_ _ _ _ A [Ebm] melody caught on [Ab] his way, a rhythm I _ fantasized made.
But [Ebm] inside her [Gb] town away.

Having a good time.
[Bb] Popular.

Thanks for having us. [Ab] _ Oh, no [Db] problem. Next time you have a new record, [Ab] in the next six years, when your next record comes out, you can buy it. Tell me, is it [F] true, though, did you really have 12 different guitars and eight different drummers? Probably, yeah. Nine different teams. No, I think [C] it was about nine and 13. Seven [Gb] different producers. _ Did you [Bbm] murder them all, or what did [B] you do? No, we just walked out and left them to it. Just eating lunch in my house, under the floorboards, [Abm] everywhere else, in the cupboards and [Bm] the dorms. _ [Gb] People's watches, rings, I've got all the gear now. You know what I mean? I thought there was a story behind that. Thank you. This is the last Unmatch. Thanks again. You better watch. _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
