Chords for American Bandstand 1970 -Dance Contest- Up Around the Bend, Creedence Clearwater Revival

_ _ Mr.
Rentner, when do you go to Japan? _
_ Um, August.
Yeah, the early part of August.
Not just you, the grassroots, the whole gang is going.
What is this, is it in conjunction with the expo, the fair, or what?
Um, sort of, but it's going to be like a huge pop festival there,
a [E] lot of groups, you know, for three days,
and supposedly the way it's being set up [G] is an amazing thing
with the way they're going to have everything laid out
and the great sound system and, [G] uh_
Knowing the Japanese people, technically they'll have it down perfect,
you'll get in [N] and out with no hassle or anything.
David, you write any songs along with the rest of the things you're doing?
Oh, yeah.
_ Do you write [E] screenplays?
I know you write screenplays,
but do you write lyrics and the [D] rest of it?
Yeah.
I guess everybody dabbles in song and music,
[G] and that's, I suppose, artists today,
the thing that makes them different is the songs that they write for themselves.
[Gb] And, uh, is it hard to write something and then give it to somebody else?
_ _ Um, sometimes it's nice [Gm] to have somebody else in [Gb] mind or a style,
because that gives you something, you know, for ideas for a [G] song.
So sometimes it's easier to write for somebody else than yourself.
[Ab] Gentlemen, I've got to change the subject,
because time is a-flitting away [Gbm] here.
We have how many [Bb] here, John?
Five couples all together?
[Eb]
I would prevail upon you to pick one.
If you get stuck, you [Gb] can pick two.
Please try to pick one.
These are all very good.
You're not [Abm] going to have an easy job of it.
What will happen to them then is [D] to go on to participate in the nationwide [Ab] contest.
We'll have seven or eight other couples from other parts of the country.
But these will be our LIA representatives.
So we leave it to you, gentlemen.
Good luck.

[Gm] _ _ You think I could [B] make an auctioneer in my spare time?
[Eb] _ Gentlemen, I know your choice was obviously difficult.
[Em] Did you reach it rapidly or what?
No, it was pretty rough.
[A] Everybody was really good.
[Ab] As I say, I would hate to have to [G] do it.
I think we ought to forget [Ab] about the one big vacation to Hawaii and send all five of them to San Jose.
Oh, please, please.
No, actually, they got a much bigger hill to climb than that.
They become then one of, say, seven or eight [Abm] more people.
And it's done.
David, [Bb] which couple? _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [B] Gentlemen, I heard.
_ Would you two folks step [Abm] over here on the riser [Cm] for a moment?
Thank [E] you.
Just sit tight.
[N] We'll be back with you. _ _ _
_ This [E] is going to confuse an awful lot of people.
_ _ Because you look [N] very much like a fellow that was here last year.
That was my brother.
I know it was. _
Your twin brother?
Yes.
How much older is he than you?
Three [D] minutes.
Three minutes.

May I have your names, please?

[E] Would you be kind enough to dance out of time for whatever we have left?
Would you be more comfortable off this thing?
