_ _ [A] Ladies and gentlemen once again the doors _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] Paul Harris keyboard player and [Gm] myself
_ We leave the band
_ To do an album with [F#] John Sebastian called the red eye Express Good [F] album
_ _ produced [F#] by Paul [N] Rothschild
_ So we rehearse over there go to New York
And [F#] we do that album and through [C] that through my affiliation with Paul Rothschild.
I then
_ Get a gig with the doors
[G#] _ _ To play [F#] on the soft parade.
I mean I was living in New York, [A#] but he flew me out to the [F#] Chateau Marmont
put me up there for about a [N] month and
And I went to the new at the time new _
lecture studios, [F#] which was
_ on the lot La Cienega
I think they had maybe just a few sessions [N] before that and _
I know pillows on the floor like everything was very comfortable like your living room and
_ _ The doors won't get along too well at that time.
This is this is after
You know they had [F#] done about everything they could do and they were in a Rothschild
_ And the band were looking to come up with something different
_ so
_ _ Rothschild had worked both with Paul Harris and myself Paul's a real good buddy of mine and
[F#] _
_ [N] _ _ _ The idea was to do this album and
_ _ It would have horns and strings it would have
_ _ _ [G#] A bass players through the whole album.
I wasn't the only [C] one
_ _ But I played on I think soft parade _ and tell all the people
_ And a couple of those I don't remember
[F#] _ [N] but _
My job it turned out in this session was to pull them together
[F#] Because they were not getting along
[N] _
Jim wasn't really coming in till after the sessions to do the vocals and [F#] the songs were coming in kind of disjointed
in [E] my view _
[F#] You know my job was to take what this section was and what that [E] section was
[F#] And kind of build a bridge make them into songs
and come up with licks and feels that made it work and
_ _ Some hate it some love it
_ [D#] _ Go baby
_ _ _ _ [N] _ He had no problem with me because I'm [F#] just a side man view from the bottom _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] He [N] I
Thought it was a really nice smart
guy
who
_ unfortunately
_ Just like all of [G] them and I put them all [F#] in one big lump
[D#] _ too much money
_ _ _ [F#] _ I
Managers and record companies [C] want to keep them going
[G#] Feed them drugs
[C#] Keep them happy do whatever they have [G#] to do to keep them happy [F#] and they all go for
[Fm] _ _ Sica [F#] you know I can't avoid it.
You know [C#] very few avoided it
_ And he [E] was another one of them died
_ needlessly
[C] But died because he couldn't stop you know [F#] you kept he had to [Em] keep doing it.
He had to keep doing it.
You know
[E] so and when he was like filthy drunk on the stage you know or
_ Still had to keep doing
_ _ [Gm]
It's like that [C] movie.
They picked the three [E] worst day the guys life probably professionally horrible
_ [Am] But that's not him as a person
_ Made a lot of bad choices
_ Made some great music
_ Had some [E] great poetry _
_ _ _ _ Great personality great _ persona about him were the great artists
