Chords for Tommy Shaw - Girls With Guns - American Bandstand

_ Oh, I don't think you have enough of them there. _
How long you been collecting them?
About a year.
_ Any on the back?
No, you haven't covered the back yet.
_ That's a great guy.
I got a_
you don't really care, but I have a button
collection nobody wants to know.
This gentleman made this record in Chicago and
London, and when he went to collect his players he found them all in New York,
but they turn out to all be Englishmen living in New York.
I don't know how this
all happened, but we will discover it together.
If you've been to a Sticks
concert you've seen him up there, but he's out on his own, and they tell me
that he's been working on this album about three years now, and it has all
paid off.
It's a hit.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Tommy Shaw! _ _ _ _

Welcome, Tommy!
Thank you, Greg.
I had mentioned the fact that you had gathered your friends in New York and
they're all English.
Do they have a formal name?
Is it the West End Band?
This is the West End Band.
Now what is the West End for an American who doesn't know?
Well, the West End for me, coming from Montgomery, Alabama, was the tough side of town.
But the West End of London is the theater district.
That's where all the action is in London, and these guys all grew up pretty close to that.
What were they all doing in New York?
That's a good question.
Let us find out.
Introduce me, please.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Peter Wood.
Peter, what were you doing in New York?
I just like it there, it's a fine town.
All right.
You work there.
Tell me who the drummer is.
Oh, the drummer's Mr.
_
Never met him before?
No, never met him before.
In fact, I grew up with him, but never met him until I went to New York.
His name?
Eve Holley.
Steve, we welcome you, sir.
Nice to have you here.
Introduce the gentleman on the end, please.
It's Mr.
Brian Stanley on bass guitar.
Brian, nice to have you with us.
Thank you so much.
Now, _ _ I'm sure you've been asked this before, but when you decided to go out on your own,
was it a pleasant parting of the ways with Sticks?
Yes, it was.
In fact, a couple of days ago at the Cubs game, I ran into Chuck Penosa.
In fact, he had the very next seat next to me, and it was nice to see him.
There's 37,000 people in the stands, and you had to sit next to somebody you knew.
I know.
It was great.
It was nice.
Is what I said true?
You've been working on this thing for three years or so?
Well, I started demoing, not really knowing what I was doing,
just trying to work out new material while we were in England on the Paradise Theater tour.
And just one thing led to another.
And next thing I know, I had an album in my car, so I figured I may as well make it official.
Did you have any little knowing feeling on the inside when you decided to go out on your own,
saying, I wonder if this is going to work, or did you know it would work?
You know, you never have any.
It's always easier to brag about this after you do it.
But it worked well?
Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
You're a happy man.
Are you on tour now, they tell me?
I'm on more or less just a rubber chicken circuit.
I'm out there going to radio stations all over the world.
Patent disc jockey's on the back.
Will we see you with the West End Band here in this country soon?
We're hoping to go
