The [G] [Am] sun, [C] on [G] the [Am] sun,
[Em] Stayed calm, [D] where [G]
I [E] would dream [C] my [G] days away.
[D]
[C]
Eventually [A#] finding my way to Vox Guitars,
[D] starting with using the [C] hand-wired Heritage [Em] amps,
which I love and still use.
[E] It was around that time my brother had the Varage guitar,
and I just picked it up and started playing [Em] it
at a soundcheck somewhere,
and just had an instant attraction [D] to the instrument.
[C]
[A] Again, I think if something [B] inspires you
and makes you feel [C] good
and makes you excited [E] when you're playing it,
I mean, that's the answer, you know, at least for me.
And in terms of, wow, I want to see [C] how far that'll take me.
And then that [Am] turns into, you [Em] know,
lucky enough to have [D] a custom Varage made for [C] me.
And again, we'll see how [E] far the sound [Em] takes me, you know.
I'm just happy that these Vox Guitars
[C] are a big part of the inspiration behind that.
The original Varage guitar I had was the [E] semi-hollow body guitar,
and I loved [C] the pickups in that guitar.
I loved the versatility of that [Em] guitar,
especially in something as bombastic as the Black Crowes.
I could find a way to have a voice within the other guitars,
which was something different than maybe
the custom guitars my brother would play
and vintage guitars that Luther would play,
and to be able to [A]
have something unique in there.
And I think that's what it is about Vox [E] Guitars that I like.
I think there's a uniqueness about them.
The real inspiration for the custom,
well, Rich Lassner came to me and said,
we want to make you a dream guitar.
And of course, just the aesthetics of the guitar, you know,
the mandala in the back is something that I really loved.
And, you know, we were at a [A] gig in San Jose, around there [E] or something,
and we sat down, and I have the envelope in the case
where I wanted the star and moon motif with the Sagittarian stuff.
So it's a little bit, you know, like I'm a super Grateful Dead freak, you know.
So I have a little ode to Jerry.
My favorite guitar Bob Weir played in the 70s
was his Ibanez guitar that [Am] had all the beautiful [A] inlays and everything.
So I was like, ooh, we started talking about dream guitars,
and [E] hopefully something iconic, you know, as well.
I mean, I'm kind of into the totem quality of it, you know,
that this is the kind of guitar that I'd be happy to play this guitar
for as long as I'm playing guitar
and let the instrument grow with me and be a part of me as well.
For the first time in my life, being involved with a guitar
from step one to the final step was really cool.
And, you know, when they brought me the guitar
at the last Black Crowes show in Los Angeles last December,
it was just like, dreams, you know, [Am] dream [A] guitar comes true, you know.
So especially with this band and what we're doing,
like, again, I [Em] get excited all the time, you know.
And it's funny, too, because I get off on people who mention it
and, like, you know, [F#] when they want [Em] to take pictures of the guitar,
[E] you know, and I'm like, yeah, [F#] cool.
You know, [E] that's part of it, you know.
Let [F#m] that road run past my door
[A] I can't stay here [A] anymore
[E] A long time [F#m] back
We'll make a record and do all that stuff, but [A] I feel like this band,
you know, our spaceship [E] crashed on an alien planet,
so this first part of it, our first year is to go out
and, you know, see if the climate, [F#m] if we can take the climate,
see what [B] we have to survive on, and then we'll [E] go back to the spaceship
and take everything out of it, you know,
and build, like, a little, you know, [F#] rocket family Robinson camp
in, [E] like, some, you know, alien tree or whatever, you know.
If you have an idea right now, and you have the energy and the time
to see it come [A] to life, then I think that's the real measure [F#] of success these days.
