You were a [G] good boy, didn't you?
[Ab] Play that all night long? _
[G] _ [Gb] She begets if you were a young guitar player.
_ [Ab] _
Most folks didn't get to hear that.
_ [N] Yeah, do it over.
_ Next time.
[Bb] Yeah. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ Now_ _ _
Billy, let me ask you something.
[G] No, I don't_
_ _ [Eb] _ [Gb] Here we go.
Here we go. _
_ Do you know, like, when did that record come out?
Do you know what year?
66.
66.
_ [Eb] We _ [N]
[G] got joke validation.
[Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gb] _
So, I mean, we [G] were just kids, you know. _
66, I [Gb] was _ 14 and you were [N] younger than me.
I don't know about that.
_ [Gm] You always got in the room.
I always did.
[N] _ _ Everybody got enough to drink?
Yeah! _ _ _ _
_ How old were you when you got that record?
I was like, what year?
[Fm] Hey, [E] were you going somewhere with me?
I was, kind of.
It don't matter.
You know?
_ _ _ [Gb]
You're gonna make me carry this [N] whole thing tonight.
This whole thing is his idea, [Gbm] by the way.
No, wait.
[N] This is not a love for the road. _ _
_ If you like it, he's the man.
He's the man.
[Gb] It was not_
Hold on, that was [G] not my idea.
It was my wife, [D] Taylor Martin's [Eb] idea.
[Ab] _ _ [G] I'll take you to somewhere if you want to go later.
_ No, what I was gonna say is_
So, like, we were kids.
You know, we got these records.
How old were you when you first got a guitar?
First laid hands on one?
_ [Ab] _
Well, I'd _ _ [D] say a guitar, about 13.
But before [G] that, a ukulele.
Could the rest of the [Db] students please know the answers?
[Ab] Please don't call out.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] So, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ William.
How old were you when you got that first guitar?
I was 13.
_ [Bb]
And it [D] was a prize.
I didn't know it then.
It was [B] a Dan Electro.
You know, lipstick pickup.
Dan Electro thing.
[D] You got a Dan Electro first?
First I did a 90 bucks with a Super O-M.
Cool.
You started out with good gear.
But I [G] didn't know it.
Which is the guy down the street, Pat,
when he didn't want to play anymore.
You know what?
[N] Cool.
You know that story.
Yeah. _
Very cool.
All right.
Let's press on.
_ [G] Okay.
Well, we talked a _ _ bit tonight already
[Gb] about Eric and John Mayall and the Blues Breakers and all that.
And _ _ [G] the Blues Breakers really launched Eric. _
In England, [Gb] they were signs on the subway [G] stations
that said, Clapton's [D] God.
He completely became a total phenomenon.
[Gm] And _ I tell you this [Gb] because _ _
_ [B] it's a funny story [C] for me.
When I introduced [G] my wife to Eric many, many, many [Fm] years later,
she knew who he was, but she didn't know about that [D] period.
So [B] we're [G] standing there and I say, _
Eric took this record [Gb] back in the 60s,
the Blues Breakers, and it [G] really changed my life.
And Eric is standing like him and my wife's here.
And Eric is just [B] looking around me and saying,
[N] That changed mine too.
_ [G] _ _ _ And you knew it was completely [N] true.
I mean, it was absolutely true.
But the reason I say that is because _ _ _ _
some of us, if we're lucky, we do have records
that we make to change our lives.
And obviously I got one of those. _ _ _ _
And that was Don't Say No.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] So following in the conversation,
I said, you know, I think we'll do something [E] from Don't Say No.
Let's do one of those. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] _ [F] Life _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ isn't easy from a singular sight
Down in the low, some emotions [C] are [D] defined _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ Just as you reach and tilt your table
_ There's only hair, missing hair that's [C] hard [D] to _ break _ _ _
[C] Don't you need _ to tell the _ _ _ man
I can only [Bb] hear him die
_ _ _ _ [C] _
[Bb] Never die, _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Dm] never die
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bb] You never listen to the voices inside
You feel your ears turn another [C] place [Dm] to hide
_ _ _ Ever _ [Bb] _ _ sure if the illusions are real
_ It's the sound of memories _
[C] [D] for you
_ _ _ Can [C] you play _ from your eyes
_ A memory game
It should make me [Bb] hear one die
_ _ _ [C]
But [Bb] every time, _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Dm] every time
You lose your [C]
face
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Don't _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ you need me, hey, hey
Don't you need me, oh yeah _
Don't you need me, hey, hey
Don't you need me, oh yeah _ Come on
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] A living is just no opinions to deal
You make no ground, you're trying [C] to [Dm] solve, say, say, ah
_ _ You _ [Bb] _ _ guard your hopes, you hunger to dream
_ You're trapped in a morning, no [C] matter [Dm] how you say
_ _ You _ [C] can't even face the fire when you see me here
Burning in the fire, I've got you right where you [Bb] need me
Never die, _ _ _ _ [F] _
