Chords for George Harrison - Brainwashed (The Making Of)

_ _ _ _ _ You know, really, the past, the present and the future is just [Am] one big cycle.
_ _ _ I believe, as most [A] Buddhists and Hindus believe, that it's us coming back, you know.
_ [Am] Like our kid, it's something you did God knows when, but you're doing it again. _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ It was almost as if Magdala had the whole thing mapped out [Dm] and we were just these lab
rats trying to find our way through the maze that hadn't [A] quite been finished yet.
Trying not to leave any footprints of us or any trace of Jeff or me.
That was the most conscious thing that we did was to try and not impose on the album
in any way and make a kind of, as Jeff calls it, a cradle for the voice and the guitar.
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Cm] _ To make an album, [G] make the song [Gbm] all finished [A] and mixed.
[Cm] It started out really daunting because I was so used to [G] working with George so closely, _
until I realized [C] that Danny [Cm] was going to be there all the time.
[G] _ Once [A] we got into it, like after [G] a couple of tunes, George [A] sort of was with us [G] really. _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [G] _ _ What he wanted really was kind of like demo form [A] of [D] music, but they [Gm] deserved more than
that because they were [D] great songs as far as I was [Gm] concerned.
And so, [D] _ sorry [G] George, I made them a little [D] bit pusher than _ you may have [Gm] wanted them,
but [E] _ I felt that I was only doing them justice. _
[G] _ _ I [D] still do it the same as we did it 30 years ago or even 40 [Am] years ago.
It's still in the old school of music, or in the 60s or 70s way of doing stuff.
It's not high tech _ [Ab] and it's not a rap or techno or whatever version of it.
Just acoustic guitars played by people into microphones onto tape.
His time as a [Dm] musician was [G] incredible.
[C] He had [F] fantastic [Dm] time.
And [Gm] as a drummer, [C] _ [F] that's something that's important and it's something [Bb] that I noticed
way [Bbm] early on.
[F] He wasn't a rusher, [C] he wasn't a dragger, [A] he just had a beautiful heartbeat.
[F] _ _
[Dm] I [Gm] don't [C] want you, [F] _
[Dm] but I hate [Gm] _ [C] losing you.
_ [F] _
You got [Bb] me in [Bbm] between, [F] but I'm [C] a deep [F] loser.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Gm] George, as [C] a lyricist, was [F] always honest.
[Dm] If he [Gm] believed in something, he'd [C] write about it.
[F] And _ if he [Bb] didn't believe in something, he'd write [Bbm] about that too.
[F] But I'm [C] a deep [F] loser.
_ _ _ [A] I [Gbm] wanna [Bm] cross you off [E] my list.
[A] But [Gbm] when you come [Bm] knocking at [E] my door,
[C] _
[Am] Fate seems to [Dm] be my heart [G] at risk.
[Eb] And I come running [G] back home.
[C] _ _ [F] _
[Dm] I [Gm] should [C] hate you,
[F] _
[Dm] But I guess [Gm] I [C] love you. _ _
[Eb] That's [Bb] really what he was like [G] around the house [Ab] all day, [C] just playing ukulele and _ [Ab] smiling.
_ [Bb] We'd heard every Hokey [D] Carmichael song, _ [E] from [Dm] Barnacle Bill the Sailor to_
He'd sing everything [Am] on the uke.
He'd [F] sing _ [Bb] anything and everything.
[Db] _ _ [Am] _ _
[D] We had to get that in there.
There's a uke on a lot of the [Dm] other tracks as well, but [Gm] that was the one that [C] really_
[Dm] just reeked of my dad.
[Gm] _ _ [C] _ [Fm] It was probably always that [Bb] yearning, _ [Ab] finding [G] the real answer to it [F] all.
_ [E] And I think _ [A] he _ thought about that [E] a lot.
What's it all about?
[A] _ _
_ [Ab] _ Much more than, say, I do, for instance.
[F] And if you don't know where [C] you're going,
_ [G]
Any road will take you [D] there.
The problem with talking is, the more you say, the more [Bm] you bury yourself in_
It's very difficult to express what you [A] feel in your heart.
May [G] not know who you [D] are.
In a song, though, [E] because you have the addition of the [Gb] music and the [G] value [Bm] of _
[Ebm] sound,
[Ab] it _ touches [A] places that other _ [Gm] things don't touch.
So it [Ab] can stir you from a much deeper, [G] subtle level.
I try to do my music about what my experiences are.
He wrote about important things, like _ spirituality [F] and [G] _ corruption [F] and stuff like that.
He never wrote a song that was just like a [Db] song.
Like, I love you, and that's why I think you're nice.
Nobody seems to listen to anything anyway these days, do they?
All got cloth ears.
_ _ Especially me.
[C] _ _
Never slept [F] so little.
_ My [C] dad's favourite number was seven.
_ And a lot of [F] things that [C] he did were according to the number seven,
whether [F] he meant it or not.
And that was the [Dm] highest honour I could have given a track on the album,
was to put [G] it track seven.
It's my favourite, [F] that track.
I love it.
Talking to [Em] myself, _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ crying [C] out loud.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ Only [Am] I can hear me, I'm stuck inside [Dm] a cloud.
Sometimes he'd be up and sometimes [C] he'd be down.
I'm not making him a saint, [F] he could be a bit grumpy now and again.
[A] This is real life.
Trees [Gm] are growing and they give [Ab] oxygen to the planet.
They [Gb] don't take it away [Db] like traffic jams.
Sometimes I just [Ab] feel [A] I'm actually [G] on the wrong planet.
[B] And I feel great when I'm in [C] my garden, but the moment [Dm] I go out the gate,
I think, what the hell am I doing [C] here?
I would like people who hear [F] this album to actually hear [C] how great George was.
_ [F] What a great singer, what a great guitar [C] player, arranger, _ _ [F] songwriter.
I think this music has to [Dm] be heard.
[Bb] And I'm not [A] saying it's going to [Abm] change your life or anything,
but it definitely changed [G] mine.
Oh, [A] the rising [Cm] sun.
I think he'd want to be remembered as [G] _ a [A] great musician and a [Cm] gardener.
_ _ _ [G] Is inside of you and now [C] your payment's _
[Cm] overdue.
[G] _ Oh, the [A] [Cm] rising _ [G] sun.
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _
Oh, [A] the [Cm] rising [G] sun. _
