Talk about the audio slave.
[Eb] Oh the audio slave [Bb] number is
[Am] my favorite Chris Cornell song, [Eb] you know, it's just
[Gm] [E] It's just all about
[Eb]
[Bb] I'm not the thing.
I'm the bigger [E] thing.
I'm not your
[G] Magic carpet ride on [Bb] the sky
[C] It's [A] really a great song has a lot of
[Eb]
[Bb] Particular meaning to [Am] me because Chris was my friend and
The [Eb] words talk about [Bb]
I'm the highway talk [Gb] about it dissatisfaction
[C] Alienation and someone who's just on them.
They're on their way.
They're just not gonna hang out with
[Gbm] Friends and [G] liars
Friends and [D] liars [A] don't wait for [Bm]
me
[G] Cuz I'll get on
[D]
[A] Myself.
Yeah
[Bm] I've [G] ruled millions of [Bm] miles
[A] Under my [Bm] heels [G] and still
[Gbm] big people
[A] Commercialized
[D] Blending success, you know what?
I mean?
This person is on [Am] their own way doing their own thing [Gbm] independently
[E] attached to a greater
[Bm] and I [D] whenever I hear the song I [A] think about Chris a lot because he was
[E] always at [G] odds with his success and
[Gbm] the expectations that were put on him as being
[B] the voice of a generation [E] and a
[D]
Superstar of the 90s and 2000s and stuff was too much for [Am] you
It was really uncomfortable and he [Gb] wasn't just bragging about being uncomfortable.
He was you know, it was too much
[D] So that's why I chose this
[E] [G]
[E] Just that he basically [B] was a real pure being and
Complicated but [E] really pure and
Childlike
[Em] He had one [B] foot in wanting to be
[A]
[B] Famous and one foot and [E] just being so uncomfortable there that
He was constantly
[B] [E] This so beautiful
handsome
But tender
[Bm] He's a really really good person
[E] [D] This world I [A] think
He [E] went as far as you could go
[Bm]
Getting to know you as much as I have [A] now you see
[E] In a similar spirit of what you're describing [Bm] Chris has Yeah
[B] I [E] know
Really?
I've known in [A] my life quite a few singers that are [E] that way and [A] I think about that a lot
especially with Layne Staley and Chris and Chester [E] Bennington
[Gb] Jim Morrison and Janice and all [B] the different people who
were singers and [A] the whole thing is about words [E] and thoughts and
Maybe that type of
[B] Being a big vehicle for [E] that type of powerful communication is too much for normalcy
like when you get to go up on stage and
[B] Sing that kind of poetry and that kind of meaning [A] and then come back down into normalcy.
[Em] Maybe you can't reenter
[E] Yeah, [B] and just you know normalcy and yeah, you know
[A] the news and
the [E] politics and the petty
[Ebm]
