As soon as Pete realized how much Tom was prepared to work, [E] it was mutual respect, [A] mutual admiration.
[E]
Then in the summer of 68, [E] the boys who would be Badfinger made the connection that would change their fortunes.
Manager Bill Collins convinced the Beatles' long-time roadie and close [G] friend Mal Evans to see the [D] Ivies play.
The man many called the [Em] Fifth Beatle was impressed by what he [E] heard.
Mal [G] brought Badfinger [N] to Apple and he said, great band, you know.
And he'd kind of discovered them.
I listened to them and said, great band.
And that was it, [E] the Ivies were in.
They were the first band signed to Apple Records.
[A] Maybe [Dbm] tomorrow I [Gbm] will love again
[Bm] The Ivies were [G] flying high as they released their first single for [E] Apple in November 1968.
The boys [A] were absolutely thrilled.
[Ab] Everyone who [Gbm] knew them thought it was going to be [Bm] a hit.
[G]
[E] [A] It wasn't.
By the spring of 69, Maybe Tomorrow had [Dbm] barely dented the top [Gbm] 100.
Because it was Apple, I think [Bm] they expected everything to slam in at number one.
[D] [F] Apple gave the Ivies a makeover.
[Am] They were given [G] a new name inspired by a John Lennon [D] song called Badfinger Boogie.
[F] The newly [C] christened Badfinger [F] also got a new song to [C] record.
[Eb] McCartney came to us and offered us to come and get it.
[C] Well, imagine what it [Eb] must have been like for [C] four kids barely in [Bb] their 20s.
And then [Ab] suddenly one day Paul McCartney [Cm] walks in and says, I'm going to produce your first single.
It was like Christmas.
We couldn't sleep that night because we knew he was coming the following morning.
[G] I kind of knew how it worked.
Piano, dum-dum-dum, [F] bass, dum-dum-dum.
If you want it, here it is.
Harmony, [E] come and get it.
[A]
[B] They were kind of a young band.
They said, well, no, we're going to do it a little bit different.
We're going to get our own thing, you know, Welsh boys.
I said, no, this has got to be [A] exactly like this because this is the hit.
And so, [Eb] you know, we did get a big number one [Bb] hit, which introduced them to the world.
Sunny, if you want it, here it is.
Come and get it.
Released in [Ab] December of 69, [Bb] Come and Get It was a smash on [Eb] both sides of the Atlantic.
You [Ab] better hurry, cause it's going [Eb] fast.
Three [Abm] years earlier, they were mere [Bb] commoners playing club gigs [B] in Swansea.
Now the Beatles themselves had laid the world at their feet.
[Eb]
[A] As the 1960s came to a close, the four members of Badfinger scored [C] their first big hit with a song written, produced [Em] and released with a little help from their friends, the [F] Beatles.
[E] [B]
22-year-old Pete Hamm and Tom Evans and [E] 21-year-old Ron Griffiths and Mike Gibbons look forward to the decade ahead.
[Gb] Blessed with creative carte blanche from the most artist [E]-friendly label in the music business, Apple Records.
[B] They could just be as creative as they wanted.
They [E] could try unusual ideas.
They could go into the closet and grab a steel guitar [A] that George Harrison used.
[B] I'd be recording their voices and I'd look over and I had [E] to make sure honestly that John Lennon on Bacardi didn't slip in and join in the backing vocals.
The voices were remarkably like the Beatles.
You [A] better hurry [B] cause it's going [C] fast.
In the last days of 1969, [E] one of those voices [Em] was replaced.
Due to [D] growing friction with Tom [C] Evans, original Ivy member [G] Ron Griffiths would not share in Badfinger's breakthrough.
[D] Tommy created the bad blood.
He convinced the others that Ron's [C] not one of the boys anymore.
