Chords for Tommy Emmanuel: And So It Goes - Guitar Workshop San Francisco, Feb 9th, 2013

And it's a beautiful _ masterpiece, _ but instrumentally it just needed a little release.
It needed a little something different.
So I put this little bridge in there.
And what the bridge actually is, _ _ is the Beatles' Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
_ She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the reason I put that in there is because Billy Joel said in a workshop once
_ that when he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show,
that that was the moment that changed his life,
where he said, that's what I want to do.
I want to play rock and roll music and be like those guys.
That was that moment.
And he is a Beatles _ fanatic.
And so what I did is, [B] I came up with [E] this _ _ _ song.
And so it [G#m] goes, _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ chorus.
_ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now the bridge that I wrote goes,
[G#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[F#] Yeah, _ _ _ _ yeah, [E] _
_ yeah, _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ yeah.
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ So it's a little release for us because the whole song is, _ _
_ _ _ [A#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[E] it's very Elizabethan sounding.
It's a very interesting song.
And I save this melody until the last time [B] around.
And every _ time.
[G#m] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [G#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Right.
So _ [C#] when I _ do the bridge part, I'm going, _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ so I'm actually [C#m] doing a reverse roll.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Did Billy Joel's love of the Beatles influence you choosing that?
Yeah, well, when I gave him [G] the CD and I said,
I took a little license and put a little bridge in it,
he looked _ [C#m] _
at me like, you're kidding?
You changed one of my songs?
[N] _
Who are you?
_ _ _ Billy was very nice.
_ And he just kind of smiled and, you know,
it was like I didn't know whether [Fm] he [G#] was insulted or not.
But I said, I took a little bit of license and blah, blah, blah.
And then I got an email from his bass player and said,
we just listened to it for the 50th time on the bus and he loves it.
Don't [E] worry about it. _
Did it influence you in that, choosing that part?
Because he loved the Beatles?
[G#] Of course.
It was [G#m] my way of saying, I know that about you, [E]
you know what I mean?
And I was willing to take that chance because _ a writer as successful
and as so great as Billy Joel [D] or Elton John, any of those guys,
to [N] come along and change one of their songs is a bit of a wise guy to do.
[C#m]
But _ _ [B] I had to say that I had [A#m] to do it [D] because I'm an _ instrumentalist
and I [G] had to make it work for me, you know what I mean? _
I still wanted to play [F] his song, but it still had to work for me.
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _
