View From The Bottom - Super Session chords

[G] What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this?

[C] [G]
[Dm] [G] Super Session is, to my understanding, Cooper's idea.
He calls Bloomfield, if [E] he's part of it.
Bloomfield [G] picks, I think, Eddie Ho.
Cooper picks me, and that's the basic band.
And Barry comes in to jam or something, and he gets [A] in there also.
The day before, I had taken [N] some psilocybin.
So I'm kind of whacked out.
And so I'm the playwright going down to LA, because I didn't know about it
until I had already gone on my journey.
And they go, say, oh yeah, sure.
Bloomfield kind of guides me down there, and I'm down at the Session.
I didn't really have too much.
I think I was coming down by then.
And it was pretty comfortable.
I was just feeling pretty good.
[C] We start doing the Session, and it's really just jams.
And it's [Fm] really Cooper's direction and [C] Michael being Michael.
I'm staying, I think, at [Cm] some hotel.
I forget which one.
[C] I come back the next day.
There's no Bloomfield.
Where's Mike?
He had to go.
He had to go?
Oh, Mike had to go.
Okay.
Mike's gone.
So what are we going to do?
So he calls [D] Steve Stills, who at [N] that time was a lovely guy.
Steve comes in and [D] plays his ass off.
[G] I thought he did [D#] great.
And [F] he was a nice guy.
We hung out.
[G] And pretty [D] much everything there [G] was very little rehearsal.
Just here's how it goes.
Boom.
[Dm]
And [C#] [G] Eddie Ho, very spontaneous drummer.
Never heard from him again.
I heard a rumour he drove his [F] motorcycle into Lake [G] Michigan.
I don't know if that's true or not, but [G#] that's the last I heard of Eddie.
Porns were dubbed in [Dm] New York.
[Fm] Totally separate [G#m] Session.
[D#] [G#m] [Am]
Harvey's tune [D#] was kind of like, well, [E] we've got enough for one [Am] thing left.
And Al very [E] nicely gave me a tune [F#m] on the album.
[G] And it was Harvey's tune.
I said, I [F#] got this little [G#m] tune.
It goes like [C#m] this.
The rest [Em] is history on that one.
The [B] Super Session, [E]
two days.
[F#m] That was it.
[G] You know, I think it's kind of like jazz in [C#m] the sense of,
it really is jazz in the sense [A] [Am]
of the spontaneity of [G#m] it based on [C#m] jamming.
With a [F] basic idea of the head.
But with [Em]
another level of technical facility.
An earlier stage.
But the same philosophy.
[N]
And what that creates is that feeling of spontaneity in the listening of it.
It feels very real, very alive.
It's a performance.
And we didn't butcher it too much.
The overdubs, you can hear they're canned, but [G] they work.
It doesn't take away
because the rhythm [C] section is loose [B] enough.
The music's loose enough to where [D] it's like we want
It wasn't precise.
[C] Everything wasn't [A#] totally in tune.
[E] It wasn't all exactly [G] right.
[C]
There was [E] enough, [G] you know, schmears and enough mistakes and enough life to make it profitable.
