Chords for James Taylor - Berkshires video & Something In The Way She Moves (One Man Band, July 2007)

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ Full [E] summer in the dear lovely [Gbm] Berkshire Hills, _ [B] _ mossy and [Em] green and [B] abundant, [A] with that flinty
New England [B] resolve to weather the test of [E] the winter to come.
[B] _ [A] _
It's a time for music.
[B] _ _ [E] Tanglewood is here, [A] the summer home of the Boston Symphony.
[B] _ _
That's [Em] what brought [B] me here in the beginning.
[A] It was a place to [B] play, _ a yearly [E] stop on the [B] summer [A] tour for [Gbm] me and my [B] band. _ _ _
[E] _ [A] The last time I toured solo was [G] in the [Ab] late [E] 70s.
_ [A] _ That's how I started out, [B] just the guitar and [E] a handful of [A] songs. _
[Gbm] _ As [A] time went by, I added [B] other musicians [E] because it's great [A] playing in a big band.
_ [B] _ _ But from [E] time to time, [B]
[A] it's good to go back [Gbm] to the well.
_ [B] It's good to get back to basics and [A] to present the songs in [Ab] their [B] original form.
_ So it's been in my mind for a while to work small again. _ _ _ _
[E] _ [Abm] The Colonial Theater in my [Dbm] hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, [B] just managed to escape the wrecking ball.
_ _ People have [Db] invested time, [B]
money, and [E] themselves, _ _ resurrecting the old girl.
_ And [B] along the way, they have found a new sense of [Abm] belonging, a sense of [Db] place, _ a place called home.
[B] _ _
_ _ When we were given the chance to film and [Db] record this [B] one-man band thing, _ [E] I knew at
once that the [B] Colonial would be the right place.
[Dbm] _ [Gb] _
[B] If you travel for a living and you do [Db] it long enough, [Abm]
you can get so good [Dbm] at it that you
never really have a home.
[B] _ I've lived and worked in New York, Los Angeles, [Abm] _ London, and Paris, _
[E] Sydney, [Abm] and Rio.
_ _ [Db] Kim has traveled the [Gb] world too, [B] but the Berkshires are our home at [Abm] last.
_ And [E] somehow, the Colonial [B] Theater, that plucky survivor, [Gb] _
[E] is at the heart of the place. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Go Red Sox!
Right, [C] yes. _
_ _ _ Yankees suck, yeah.
[Cm] _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's a cheap way to start any performance. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
Well, _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] there's something in [F] the way she [C]
[Gm] moves, _ _ looks my [Bb] way or calls my [C] name, _ _ _ _ that [Gm] seems
to leave this troubled [Cm] world [F]
behind.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [C] And if I'm feeling down and [Gm] blue, _ _ troubled [F] by [Bb] some foolish [C] game, _ _ _ _ [Gm] she always seems to
make [Eb] me change [C] my mind. _
_ _ _ I'd be fine any [Gm] time, [F] but she's [C] around me now, _ _ _ [Am] she's around me [Dm] now, _ almost [G] all [Dm] the time.
_ If [C] I'm well, you can [Gm] tell that [F] she's been [C] with me now, _ _ _ [Am] she's been with me now, _ [Dm] _ quite
[Gm] a [F] long, long time, and I feel [C] fine.
_ [Gm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ Every [Eb] now and then, the things [Bb] I lean on, they lose [F] their meaning, and [Gm] I find [Eb] myself
[F]
careening _ [Eb] in places [Gm] where I should never let me go.
[C] No, _ _ [F] _ _ she [Eb] has the power to [Bb] go where no one else can [F]
find me, and [Gm] to silently _ [F]
remind me of
the [Bb] happiness and [Fm]
good times [C] that [Dm] I _ know.
[G] _
_ _ [D] Well, I guess I just got to [G]
know then, _ [C] it isn't what she's got to say, [Gm] _ _ how [F] she thinks
[Bb] or where [C] she's been. _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] To me, the words are nice [Cm] the way they [F] sound.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ [C] I like to hear them best that [Gm] way.
_ _ Doesn't [F] much matter [Bb] what [C] they mean, _ _ _ _ _ she [Gm] says them mostly [Eb] just to calm [C] me down. _ _ _
_ I'd be fine [Gm] any time, but [F] _ [C] she's around me now, _ _ [Am] she's around me now, _
[F] _ _ I guess [G] just about
[C] all the time.
[Gm] If [C] I'm well, you [Gm] can tell that [Dm] she's been [C] with me now, _ _ [Gm] she's been [Am] with me _
[Dm] now, [Am] quite
a _ long, [Dm] long _ _ [C] time, _ _
[G] [C] yes, and I feel fine. _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ I'll show you a picture I've _ taken around the same time that that song was written, _ _ _
1965.
This is a picture of me and Phoebe Sheldon _ about that time.
It wasn't the first song I wrote, but it's the first presentable song.
The ones that were before that were pretty awful. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Songwriting is _ _ my joy and a great thrill and a source of _ deep frustration and it'll drive
you crazy, but _ _ it's _ _ a mysterious thing and something that's out of my control.
Often it takes a long time before I _ understand what a song is really about.
_ _ _ This next song, actually I'm still not sure, I wrote it years ago and I'm still not sure
what it's about. _ _
That last song, I didn't realize it at the time, _ 25, 30 years ago, but I actually wrote
it for my wife Kim. _ _ _ _ _ _
