Chords for Avishai Cohen - 1970 (Making of)

_ _ [G] _ When we started the process of thinking of doing a pop [Dm] album,
[A] one of the things that helped me focus on it [F] was thinking,
who's going to be the people that can [Dm] execute [Gm] that music [D] with me?
And I thought of a few people that were [Dm] more than perfect for this,
and the people that are on this record shaped the spirit of the music more than anyone,
as much as my writing.
They put life in [E] the music where I [Gm] never expected.
So it's a combination of that [Bb] and Jay that makes it [Dm] like.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] Everything just [F] exponentially [Dm] expanded, sound-wise, [Gm] _
[Eb] groove-wise, _ emotionally.
[Dm] _ [F] And every [B] time we would have a playback of a done track,
it [Dm] was the next best thing.
We couldn't believe every time [Gm] we were [E] amazing ourselves [Eb] in a great way.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ It's sort of like a global _ blues record, [Eb] and it's a global [F] love record [Fm] and loss record.
[Eb] We have slow R&B grooves, we have Yemeni [Bb] grooves, we have Israeli grooves,
but there's a connective tissue to all of this [Eb] that makes it, I think,
[Bbm] going to be just [Fm] one incredibly strong record.
[Bb] It's about my fantasies of music, but it seems to be about a girl, about a [Fm] woman.
[Ebm] That woman could [Eb] be God, could be my [Bb] wife, could be any woman in this world,
but [Eb] a woman, the figure of a woman comes in and out of the songs
as if they all belong to the same song.

_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bbm] I'm here, but I will not be [Fm] forever
_ _ [Ebm] Depending [Fm] on our will to [Bbm] change the matter
Do do do [Bb] do do [Fm] do do do do do
[Ebm] _ _ [F]
This is a [Bbm] song of hope
[Bb] _ Do do do do [Bb] do do do [Fm] do do do
Song of Hope.
_ [Ebm] _ [F] Another surprise.
[Bbm] _ [Bb] So the words came in a very simple way for a [Bbm] song of hope.
Not like, you know, I'm [Fm] not political, I can't really relate to [Ebm] politics, it's too [Fm] low, sorry.
But to talk about the state we're in [Bbm] and to say that I [Fm] care, this is where I say it,
I had to, and [Ebm] if I succeeded, [Fm] great.
We [Ebm] _ _
brought it out here, [Bbm] _ all the guys started playing [Fm] it, and everybody just nailed it.
I mean, [Ebm] the song sounds huge.
[Bbm] I like to refer to it as a 65 Cadillac.
Do do do do do [Fm] do do do do _
_ [Ebm] _ This [Bbm] is a song of hope _ _
