_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
So [C] it's kind of more steady but light.
[G] Yeah. _
It was as if I was listening to a song in my ears driving over here.
I [C] was like, _ _ [G] fast.
_ Yeah, kind [F] of like all one.
I was young and in [C] the night.
_ _ [F] Ooh.
Now, by [C] my magic, [G] ask me.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [C] Hey.
_ _ [G] _
Admit it.
[F] I would marry you [C] in an instant.
Damn [F] you a wife, I [C] deal with this.
_ _ [G] But _ _ _ _ _ [C] I was [G] made for this.
[C] Made for that.
[Ab] Made for love.
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] When I [F] die alone.
[Db] _
[Ab] Die alone.
Die alone.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] The only [Ab] gifts from my Lord _ [D] were [Eb] birth.
[F] It really feels like this [Ab] album and this music and this work environment
and this spiritual, _ mental place that we're on right now,
it really feels like a higher level for this band.
_ Simon has really tapped into [F] a really sort of sacred [Db] thing that's happening here.
[Fm] Obviously you have to have a microphone and you have to have [Ab] machines and all that.
That's a [Eb] given, right?
But if we're lucky [Ab] and if we listen, [Ebm] the song is going to tell you what it wants.
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] The [F] love was a little clunky.
Was it clunky?
Yeah, [G] past love.
Was it?
It's past now.
[Eb] Okay.
It's like a_
I was keeping _ track.
But it's all in the past love.
Now the former meets the latter.
Because it almost sounds like past life, which I like.
It's [G] like both. _
Okay, cool.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I think less is more [Db] is always kind of what we're going [Ab] for.
Wes is a great storyteller.
And you don't need to add [Ab] a lot of bells and whistles [Eb] to the tracks
because they do already speak for themselves.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] It's starting [F] to feel a little clustery.
There's a lot of really [G] stabby mid-range kind of thing.
Maybe simplify that left hand to just play the root.
_ Okay, so [Ab] don't octave it.
Right.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That was sick. _ _ _
I know that was good.
_ I think Cleopatra is going to be one of the most special songs in the album.
I think it's the best story, the best song Wes has ever written lyrically.
It's just one line after another of just insane imagery.
It's about a real specific person, but it's also, _ people can relate to it, I think.
_ It's really about a taxi driver he met in the Republic of Georgia.
An old lady who told him her life story.
And it's kind of beautiful and hopeful [Db] and romantic, but also [Ab] devastating.
I would want her, if she ever heard it, to feel _ respected [F] _ [Eb] by the song. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] I do think that storytelling is [Fm] what has always [Ab] been what I loved about all these songs
that I [Db] grew up listening to.
[Eb] _ _ Yeah, I'm really excited about it.
_ I'm excited to see what people think of it too.
