Chris Daughtry - Dead or Alive chords
Start Jamming...
Chris Daughtry, I'm 26 and I'm from McLeansville, North Carolina.
The comments from Simon after my audition in Denver really stuck with me.
I'm not sure I'm seeing a hell of a lot of charisma here.
I'm not sure that I'm looking at a stand-alone star.
When I got to Hollywood, [Gm] I put everything into [G] it just to change Simon's mind.
[C] The [G] first cut is [D] the deepest.
Baby, I know the [A] first cut is the [F] deepest.
[A] Thank you, take care.
[N] That's what I wanted to hear.
Thank you so much.
The song I'll be doing tonight is Wanted Dead or Alive.
It's a great song.
It's one of my favorites.
I grew up listening to it.
Whenever I was doing the local bar scene, I would play the song and the crowd loved it.
It's kind of an adrenaline rush.
It's a catchy chorus.
Everybody sings along to it and hopefully America will be singing along to it tonight.

[Eb] How you doing?
I'm chilling, man.
I'm chilling.
Dude, that was really, really good.
I must admit.
I was wondering what [Eb] song you would come out and [Abm] sing because I love all the songs that [F] you've chosen for yourself.
I think you're very, very current.
I think you know Jon Bon Jovi, [N] Mashbox 20, all that kind of stuff.
Great recording voice.
I love the performance.
I thought it was the bomb.
You got it, dude.
You got it.
It was hot, though.
I thought it was hot.
Because I am so wowed by you and [B] I've been wowed by you from day one.
From your stance, the [Em] moment you opened up your mouth, from the confidence of just standing [Abm] there in front of the microphone.
Spot on.
Your artistry, what you pick to sing.
[N] It's as if you've been doing it for the longest time.
You liked him.
In other words, yeah.
Here we go.
That was a good choice of song.
Very, very good choice of song.
I think for me, for the first time tonight, now I'm hearing somebody with potential.
I'm just picking up [C] slightly what Randy was saying.
If you're going to pick these songs, Jon Bon Jovi, [N] these groups were successful because the lead singers, they had charisma.
Now you've got to start believing in yourself and on showing charisma because you've actually got a great recording voice.
Now we're going to see more charisma, but that was superb.
Awesome.
[Gb]
Very good news, my friend.
Isn't that cute?
Simon's starting to go to the happy place.
You're singing it.
It's coming.
[Eb] They were talking [Gbm] about taking some risks.
Did you feel like you played [Gb] it a little safe as you were going through it?
I think I stuck with the melodies from the original, but I think I understand where they're coming from and I can do that.
And you're ready for it? Absolutely.
Good work up here, man.
That was fun to watch.
If you want to vote for [Ab] Chris, 1-866-IDLE [Gb]-06.
It's 1-866-436 -5706.
He's getting happy.
