Chords for Ann Wilson Talks I Am The Highway Chris Cornell Extended

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] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
