Chords for Dido Interview and White Flag GMTV03

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ Go Dido.
_ Oh! _
_ It was no angel, it went multi-platinum in 25 countries.
So, how do you follow that?
Big things expected for her LP Life For Rent,
which is available at the end of the month.
LP sounds very old-fashioned. Isn't it?
Yeah, but Ron Clare.
Ron Clare, her seed, Dido, good morning to you.
Do you have a surname?
Of course I have a surname. Do you?
_ _ _ _ Armstrong. _
_ Armstrong?
_ I just think Dido is enough for people to take in.
I usually have to spell it anyway, so I don't want to have to deal with a whole_
Come on, you can tell us.
No, I can't.
Everyone knows my whole name anyway.
No, they don't.
I can't bear it.
I've never used any of them.
Any of them?
No, there's like five.
Five bits to it?
Yeah.
Well, that makes you interesting.
_ Well, I can see your personality.
We're talking about No Angel there,
and most people would have No Angel in their LP collection.
Or CD _ _ _ collection there.
It is a lot to live up to, isn't it?
Yeah, I suppose so.
I mean, for me, it's sort of like I just really enjoy making music,
so I'm just going to keep making albums and not obsess too much about the rest of it.
So what's your new long-player called?
My new long-playing record is called Life For Rent.
I was just thinking about the pressure on you, actually, following No Angel,
because you just sort of mushroomed up from nowhere.
Suddenly Dido was winning awards,
selling millions of albums all over the world,
and that's big pressure because everyone was talking about you.
Now this is your second album, and big things are expected, aren't they?
Yeah, I mean, I suppose the pressure's not really my_
I mean, any pressure I put on myself was just to make good music.
Obviously I want to make good music that I'm proud of and that I want to listen to
because that's what I did on the first album.
I think the pressure's really like the record companies now, really, isn't it?
I mean, I don't know.
It's not really my_
I mean, at the end of the day, I've sort of done what I set out to do,
which is make a record and feel really good about it,
and now I can actually just sort of enjoy it.
And if people love it, then brilliant.
People like Eminem love it and Britney love it
because obviously Eminem's used Thank You, _
_ and you've co-wrote for Britney as well.
What was Eminem like to work for?
I mean, I just found him a total joy.
We got on brilliantly.
He was always so sweet to me.
He just came across as really warm, really sort of driven
_ and just _ actually a really special and really charismatic guy.
He's definitely _ doing his own thing,
and no one has come close to doing anything that he's done.
We've had his nan on, actually.
_ She says, Eminem is a good boy!
_ Marshall.
Marshall, yeah.
We know them all.
But were you what was called a prodigy?
_ Were you sort of hothoused and had you got this sort of talent when you were young?
No, I mean, I'd never really sung until sort of like_
I mean, I'd sung for fun.
I did train as a classical musician when I was a little kid,
but I [D] wasn't a prodigy.
I was OK.
But I went to music school and stuff and did that,
and then I started singing in my late teens.
I was writing songs when I was little, but for fun.
I never thought I'd play them to anyone.
What do you think of Pop Idol and Fame Academy?
I think I've hardly ever watched it.
Occasionally I tune in and I do quite enjoy it.
I mean, I just sit back and I'm like, OK, well_
And I keep hoping that I'll watch an episode and be really blown away
by some incredible voice that gets right inside you.
_ But, you know, I just think everyone_
I mean, _ there's no reason that someone amazing can't come through that channel.
I just think you get heard in all sorts of different ways.
It doesn't have to be a conventional sort of [G] way.
It's good that it's showcasing music, isn't it?
Primetime on a Saturday night.
Can't be bad, really.
Yeah.
Your hair looks nice.
Very different from last time we saw you. _
Thank you.
Hers is not her own. _ _
Half of it is.
Half of yours is, if you don't mind.
I said don't step too far.
_ There you go there.
No, because that little feather cut of yours, the short one,
it was so much copied, wasn't it?
It was voted as best hair cut.
It's fantastic.
It still is.
I love it when I go to gigs and there's loads of people with my hair cut.
It's genius.
It's gone.
It's a thing of the past.
We hope the new album is genius.
[B] Life for Rent, and you're going to sing White Flag for us very shortly.
I'd love to.
We look forward to that for the moment.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello.
Just after half past eight.
Nice mellow music now this time of the morning.
Lovely treat.
We were talking to her a little earlier.
Lovely lady.
It's Dido with a specially arranged version of White Flag.
Here she is.

_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] I know I left too much mess and destruction [Am] to come back again. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I [Dm] caused nothing but trouble.
I _ understand if you [Am] can't talk to me again. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ And if you live by the rules, how it's over,
[Gm] then I'm sure that that makes sense. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] But I will go down [F] with this shit. _ _
And I [Gm] won't put my hands up [Dm] and surrender.
_ _ There will [Bb] be no white flag above [F] my door.
_ [C] I'm in love and always [Gm] _ will be.
And [F] when we meet, I'm sure we will.
_ _ All [Am] that was there will be there still. _
I'll [Gm] let it _ pass and hold my tongue.
_ And you [C] will _ think that I've moved on _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
with [F] this shit.
_ And [Gm] I won't put my hands up and [Dm]
surrender.
_ _ There [Bb] will be no white flag [F] above my door. _
I'm [C] in love _ and [Gm] always _ will be.
_ _ [Bb] _
I will go down [F] with this shit.
_ And [Gm] I won't put my hands up [Dm] and surrender.
_ _ [Bb] There will be no white flag above [F]
my door.
_ [C] I'm in love and _ [Gm] always will _ _ be.
