Chords for ELP on Regis

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Bb] What a lucky [Cm] man _ [F]
he was
[Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _
Alright, uh_
_ _ It was, uh, it was great having [N] Mrs.
Clinton here, wasn't it?
Sure was.
Real pleasure.
Alright, our next guests form one of the most innovative and popular rock bands of the 70s.
As a matter of fact, they are one of Gellman's favorite groups.
Their 13 albums have sold over 25 million copies.
And fans are in for a real treat tomorrow when this 4-CD box set,
complete with all of their classics, is released. That's tomorrow.
A few new ones too, I think.
But right now, let's welcome Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer, Emerson, Lake, and Paul.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So, we've got this.
We've got this.
_ _ Yeah.
Thank you.
What a resurgence all these great groups of the 70s are having now, you know?
I'm [Abm] thrilled because I'm [Ab] not wild about today's music, and I was wild [N] about this kind of music,
and it's all coming back.
It's great.
Yeah.
Good, we knew there was someone.
Me and a whole lot of other people as well.
Absolutely.
And this is a wonderful idea to put it all together, isn't it?
I mean, these boxes with your favorite artists and a little _ magazine and booklet too.
All of the great old pictures.
I've not had it all yet.
_ [Gb] There's new stuff on it as well.
Yeah, there's 40 minutes of new music in there.
And three previously [D] unreleased tracks.
Is there a lot of music that you've done over the years that's still sitting [B] in a vault someplace?
I think this is it.
There might be a couple of things, but this is the [N] best of it now.
Okay, good.
So, here they were 21 years ago, 1972.
Remember that.
Just starting out.
Ooh.
Where were you from?
That was taken in Kew Gardens in London.
Kew Gardens in London, yes.
Are you all from London originally?
Different places. No, different.
Different areas.
I was born in Lancashire, _ Cole, Birmingham.
I was born on the south coast of England.
So, you had all those big hits, all those crowds, all those ovations, and now, 25 years later, here we are.
Here we are.
You've got families.
And what do your children think of your records?
Well, my son, well, I've got two sons.
One is 23 and the other one is 18.
The eldest has now started his own band.
_ So it goes.
Yeah, I used to, I tried roadieing for him at one point.
He was too embarrassed about it.
He said, no, Dad, you know, I don't want you there when I'm playing. _
That must be unbelievable to you to see it all again happening to your kids.
It's frightening, really, you know.
Did they like your sound?
Did they like your sound?
Well, I got home one day and I found all my albums out on the floor.
I thought, what is all this doing out?
You know, why don't you put these back?
And he said, we've been listening to them and they sound pretty good.
Mm, isn't it?
_ It takes time.
Doesn't somebody here have a youngster who's a Madonna fan?
Yes, my daughter.
I think most young girls of 10 years old, though, are Madonna fans.
Does that frighten you in any way?
Well, I kind of heard that, whatever that album is, the Immaculate Collection, I don't know how many times.
_ I know it back to front.
Or front to back.
But you guys did split up for a while there in the 80s, right?
Small vacation, yeah.
12 years, go separate ways, _ separate performance.
Yeah, we sort of hooked up in that 12 years in different formats.
What did you do, Greg?
I did two solo albums and I had a farm for a while.
Became a farmer for a while.
A gentleman English farmer.
Yes, yes, not unlike Charlie Watts, who was here recently, who was saying the same thing.
Something about getting home from the road and getting your fingers in the dirt, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Getting back to reality.
So who called who to get back together again?
It was a friend of ours who _ now owns a company called Victory Records, who asked us if we'd like to do a film score.
We'd never done a film score and we thought, you know, it'd be a good idea to do it.
When we started to rehearse, though, what we were actually writing was music for an album.
And so in the end we just said, we'll put out the record.
So it went and the album came out and we started to tour and it really started from there.
And now you can't get away from it.
Now you can't stop it, that's right.
When we come back, we're going to play a cut from the third album. _ _

[D] _ _ _ [Am] _ [Em] There might have [D] been things I missed, _ [C] _ but don't be [F]
unkind.
[Am] _ _ [G] _ It don't mean I'm [Dm] blind.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ [Am] Perhaps there's [D] a thing or two.
_ [C]
I think of lying [F] in bed.
_ _ [G] _
I shouldn't [Dm] have said. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
