Marianne that was great.
Tell me how long [F] is it since you first [D] made the first [G] record As Tears Go By?
[Bbm] About six months ago.
What was the story [A] behind it and how did it all [Bb] start and so on?
I met Andrew Oldham at a party and he [Bbm] asked me if I'd like to make a record because he thought I had a face cancer.
[Bb] And what did you think?
I thought this is fine, perhaps I have, let's sell it.
Had you sung before?
No, no just for a tour.
Not at [Bbm] all?
[Bb] Folks around.
[F] And how do you enjoy [Bb] it sort of now?
I mean you had a big [A] success with that.
[Bbm] I love it now.
I didn't at first.
I'm beginning to be able to do things myself and it's happening.
[Bb] I love it.
Are you going to go on and make more records and travel and [Am] make
I should think so.
I don't do that very [Bbm] much.
This is my special thing.
[Bb] But continue with the
I'm going to make more records.
[A] I think it's great.
I love the way you put them over and I like the records too.
Oh thank you.
I hope you have a lot of success and thanks very much for doing this.
Thank you.
Enjoyed it.
Thank you.
Well that's all from us in London, hullabaloo.
Look forward to seeing you again next week from Marianne and myself.
