CHICAGO - Beginnings (Live, 1998) chords
Start Jamming...
[F] I didn't hear there's a bunch of guys [Bm] in here doing bad things.
[Em] [A]
You know what doesn't have a leader?
[Am] It's a democracy.
Most decisions are done by osmosis.
And [E] the band really seems to communicate.
You know, we sit down and [A] have meetings about, you know, material and arrangements [G#] and all [A#] of that.
Well, they don't [D] let me.
There is no one actually, [F#] physically, [A] solely [N] in charge.
When I put this band together, I made sure I handpicked these guys.
You know, I didn't want to make myself look bad.
Like, Waltz sort of runs on osmosis.
We're a rock and roll band with horns, but Jimmy has always sort of said it, and I think he says it pretty well when he says,
with the horns being an [G] integral part of each song, not just an [N] afterthought.
A melodic extension of the vocals.
Chris and me, [Am] we're just R&B freaks.
We don't know much about anything.
So [C] we like to burn, you know.
So we're trying to [A] cover all [D] the spectrum of the musical [N] realm of life.
Thirty years has gone by like a flash, and here we are.
America, we love you. Hi, Bobby.
Anyway, we're ready to rock and roll.
Hope you have a great time.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, the one and only Chicago.
