Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well.
Welcome back, folks.
You know, Carolyn Wonderland is [A] such a dynamic performer.
She and I had a blast working on [D] her last album called [Em] Peace Meal.
Really good one, folks, if I do [D] say so myself.
[F#] Here's her take on a [C] tune from that project called [B] Only God Knows When.
[A] So this song's called Only God Knows When.
I wrote it a few years [A] back, and I liked the words really well, but I wasn't so happy with
my usual chord [D] patterns and such that I'd put [Am] to it.
[Dm] So one day when we were recording at Ray Benson's place
up there [A] in Bismow, we had a little time left over
at the end of the day and he said,
why don't you play around [E] with it?
Why don't you try it on the lap steel?
Why don't you change keys?
And he was [D] right.
Now it's one of our favorite [Em] songs to play live.
[A] You know, I love the way Cole and Rob
kick it off at the top.
I dig it, hope you do too.
