Chords for Traveling Wilburys MTV Interview 10/28/88

[D] _ [C] _ _ [G] Situations are horrible.
Harmony [C] reigned, however, in Los Angeles, [G] where a certified rock legend [Em] and one of his celebrated [C] pals
gathered to discuss their new [D] group, the Traveling Wilburys.
[E] Hi, this is Charlie T.
Wilbury Jr.
Hi, I'm Lefty Wilbury.
[Gm] The other guys had visions _ of what I should sound like or what [Ab] I should [E] sing and things like that,
so we didn't question each other, we just went right ahead and [Bb] sang what the other guys_
because we were all fans as well, you know.
[G] [Gb] Sometimes we'd both sing the same song, you know, just [Bb] to see [E] who sounded good or if this piece fits somebody.
That was a lot of [Bb] the fun of writing the songs, because you [Eb] didn't always know who [D] was going to sing the song.
I've been a [C] pain [B] and [G] made a mess.
[D] _ Been [C] sent up, but [G] I've been shut down.
[C] _ You the_
Behind [G] their identities [Eb] as brothers [Em] in the Wilbury [C] family, we have [D] musicians of no short order here.
But [E] it's gonna take money.
[A] _ _ [B] Nelson [Em] Wilbury is none other than George [A] Harrison, [B] instigator of the project and co [E]-producer [A] of the album.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] The _ elusive Bob Dylan sounds better than he has in years in the role of [Bb] Lucky Wilbury. _
_ [G] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ Lefty Wilbury is Roy Orbison, whose vocals are also [E] outstanding. _
[B] _ [D] [A] Pretty woman, walking [Gbm]
down the street, [A] pretty woman, the kind [Gbm] that [F] likes to come around_ _ _
Tom Petty, who toured with Dylan in recent years, checks in as Charlie T.
Wilbury Jr.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ And [E] finally, [A] Jeff Lynn, formerly of Electric Light Orchestra, serves as best [D] buddy of George Harrison and co-producer of the [E] album [A] as Otis Wilbury.
_ _ _ [Ab] After explaining that Brother Lucky was performing in New York and couldn't be on hand, the Wilburys told us their strange tale.
Well, you mean the name of the [G] group?
Yeah.
It came from the Duke of Edinburgh, _ actually.
We were talking with the Duke [Ab] and he said,
[N] if you guys did form a group, you should be called the Travelling Wilburys. _
Of course, he [G] did.
He has Travelling Wilburys by appointment _ to His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.
[E]
Is this true?
Yeah, [F] of course.
Would we lie [N] to you? _
Is _ there one of you specifically who made this project happen, who was really the glue that kept it [Ab] together?
I think it was Neville Chamberlain. _ _ _
No, it was _ one of the record [G] company executives _ _ called Jeff Aroff from _ Virgin Records.
[Gb] He thought this was really [N] good and sort of _ _ encouraged us to do it.
The record sounds like you guys were having a blast together.
Were the recordings actually that much fun?
It was great fun to do.
It was a thrill to have people like Roy singing and stuff and playing guitar.
That's the thing, we're all rhythm guitar players, really.
And it's just great, we can all just strum together and make a tune up and sing it all.
We're the only band in the world with five rhythm guitar players.
What about the Vipers?
[B] Yeah, the Vipers.
But I don't think they're still together, no.
Less than 21.
_ Yeah, only one still together. _
Is it different [Ab] when you're each working with other really successful professionals
and you look across the studio and you say, oh my god, there's Roy Orbison, there's George Harrison, there's Bob Dylan.
What's that like for each of you?
Is [N] it different than playing with studio musicians?
It's unbelievable, yeah.
It's wonderful, yeah.
It's great.
Because we're all [E] fans of each other, you know.
I get Roy's [F] autograph [Ab] every day.
_ _ [E] _ _
[Ab] George won't let me have his.
_ [N] _ That's the kind of guy he is, though.
_ _ So did that add a little special dimension to it?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, definitely.
We're standing doing the video and it's just a great honor to be standing there singing with all these people.
And the camera pans around and you see [G] there's Tom, there's Bob, there's Roy, there's Jeff.
It's great.
It's really nice.
I get goosebumps on, you know, Roy sings and I'm standing by him.
I get chicken [C] skin, you know.
There's not many [D] bands that can get that, you know.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ I'm so happy to have [C] some love from [D] you.
[G] Won't you show [C] me that you [D] really [G] care?
