Chords for Mark King for iBass Magazine

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ So one of the first songs I [N] wrote with the first JD I had, which is that JD _ Supernatural _ _ _ _ _ _
_ 003A, I think it is SA3A or something. _
And that was just a lovely bass that I picked up in Sounds in Chancross Road, just, _ _ not
Chancross Road, it's in, anyway, it doesn't matter.
_ And I had the money that was allotted to me and we got this bass and I was sharing a flat
bed seat with Mike Lindup [Am] down in Tooting somewhere and [Ab] I got it back and [Dm] Mike had his
Fender Rhodes _ in the lounge and we just sat down and we were just noodling away.
And I think I was just loving the fact that it was so much like an Alembic, so it was
kind of Stan Clark inspired in a way. _
But, [A] _ _ _ _ you know, and I just loved that sort of, _ the harmony that Stan could use and stuff
and [D] I [Dbm] found myself drawn [D] very much to that.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [D] _ So_
I [E] hope you hear this.
_ [Dm] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, and there's quite a good_
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ [N] That's _ _ it, yeah, I remember now.
God, I haven't done that section for years and years.
Yeah, that whole middle section is quite nice and it is that, I think, was this whole
the June thing.
And we were very much into science fiction at the time, too.
So, I mean, there was Frank Herbert's June _ book and hence the June tune thing. _
Yeah, I think, I wrote it, it was my sort of my attempt at expressing how sad I felt
that my grandmother, Margaret, had passed away.
_ And unfortunately, it's a very uplifting [F] tune.
So I hadn't really got the finer nuances of making music that was suitable for the
situation.
And sad though I felt, this was the tune that came up and I got to play it
with Phil [Fm] Gould and Boone Gould at a Save the Whale concert at Ryde Town Hall on the
Isle of Wight, but not on bass.
I was playing guitar on it at the [N] time. _ _ _
And I'm just trying to think of how the hell it goes. _
I can't remember, man.
Particularly with Larry Graham's band playing in the background.
It's quite cool.
I bet you know the many interviews on that's happening.
_ Oh, yeah.
Did it, did it, did it. _ _
_ _ Well, I suppose Sandstorm really would have been [G] that.
I suppose it was almost nicked from the hot water riff, [C] but like [G] sped up a bit because
it's kind of the same, almost the same [Am] sequence. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _
Yeah, _ I remember.
[F] _ _ _
Yeah, that was [G] it.
That was just the whole thing.
And it was just this kind of show [F] offy, just lots of
bass riffs, you know.
_ Most of the things that I've done [C] that [F] people seem to like over the years, you know,
things like Mr.
[G] Pink.
And it's just a series of riffs that were great to [F] play, you know.
[G] _ _ _ [N] _ And I'm just trying to think of what's that? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Db] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [Bb] there _ [C] _ [Em] _ _
[B] you [Eb] got sort of three [D] separate riffs and there's another one. _
_ [B] So [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [D] _ [E] _ _
it's [F] just that's really just four riffs jammed together _ to fill up an album.
_ Best piece of advice I can give any aspiring guitarist is don't get hung on your left
hand and chords when you're starting out.
This is right.
_ It's your right hand that makes the whole thing swing, you know, just
getting to the fact because _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ that's what makes the whole thing work.
So you only you don't even have to play a chord.
Just hold [E] your hand on that and you can make something sound nicer.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[F] But if you get hung up on [Am] this and you sort of think, well, how does [Bm] that chord go?
And then and then they sort of forget this [E] hand and they go.
_ _ _ It's horrible.
And then they [N] streaks around and get the next chord and go. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ I'm not thinking about [F] anything.
What is that?
You know, and it sounds horrible.
It's probably [B] horrible to play and [E] then I've given up. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ [Ab] _ [G] _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm way out of tune.
_ [Bb] [Ab] Oh, dear.
Listen, I haven't got an amplifier.
I'm doing it all from memory.
And when you're 55, your
