Chords for Neil Sedaka NOW

[Eb] _ _ _ His music has stood [N] the test of time for decades and has attracted fans of all ages.
Now he's remaking some of his greatest hits to appeal to the newest generation.
Ladies and gentlemen, Neil Sadaka.
Neil, what a pleasure to have you here.
This is a great honor for me.
My pleasure.
You have fans at every level.
But this is something brand new that you're going for.
A lot of the old songs that you did and new lyrics.
Well, I have three delicious grandchildren.
I have twin girls six years old and a three-year-old grandson.
And they love the old Neil Sadaka rock and roll songs.
So, Governor, they inspired me to do a children's album.
So what I've done is I've changed the words to the old songs.
So we have_
I love, I love, I love my dinosaur pet.
And we have where the toys are.
And we have lunch will keep us together.
And my six-year-olds are singing the background vocals.
And you've got them all on a new CD.
And I understand this thing is going crazy.
Number four on Amazon for children.
And after today's appearance, when everybody watching this show gets it for their kids_ Number one.
It's going to be number one.
Absolutely.
It's going to be number one.
It ought to be.
It's great.
We all grew up with the songs.
And now to see those words in such a wonderful way.
Well, the mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers know the tunes.
Yeah.
But now we've tried for this and I think we've succeeded.
I hope so.
Oh, I know you have.
Because I got to hear one of them.
I want you to do Lunch Will Keep Us Together.
Shall I?
Please.
All [Ab] right.
_ _ Lunch, lunch will [Gb] keep us together. _
[F] There's no meal that's better.
Just give [Db] me a fork and a spoon.
It's almost noon.

[Eb] _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Absolutely.
I'm such a plugger.
I want to mention something.
You're an amazing person that many people don't understand.
Juilliard School of Music, classical trained pianist.
_ [Ab] _ You know, we were going to play something with you.
If [A] you're going to start that kind of music, [G] I'm out of here.
You know that.
It's way over my head.
I [N] was a concert pianist at the Juilliard for many years.
That was my great love.
And I remember a wonderful story.
When you were little, you dreamed of making it in the music business.
Tell me what you did with 45 RPMs.
I think it's a great, great story.
I had a collection of the old 45s.
Those of you who are too young had the hole in the middle.
And I used to scratch out the name of the artist and write Neil Sedaka
to see how it would look on a hit record.
I was very driven.
I was very, very focused and very ambitious.
And 60 million of those later, you're still at it.
And what a remarkable career as songwriter, performer,
and one of the nicest people, Neil, I've ever had the pleasure to meet.
Would you let the Little Rockers play [G] with you?
The answer has to be yes because we're all strapped up and ready.
Well, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, watch out.
Are we ready?
We're ready.
Down doobie doo, [Am] down, [Bm] down.
[G] Breaking up is [C] hard, [G] dude.
[D] Don't [G] take your love [C] away [G] from me.
Don't you leave my heart in misery.
[Bm] If you [G] go, then I'll be [A] blue.
Breaking up is [D] hard to do.
[G] Remember, [Am] you [D] held me [G] tight and you [Am] kissed me on [D] the [G] [B] cheek
of [Em] all that we've been [A] through.
[G] Breaking up is hard to do.
[D] They [Gm] say that breaking [C] up [Bb] is [C] hard to [F] do.
Sound good?
Now I know, know that it's [Fm] true.
[Bb] Don't say this is the [Eb] end.
Instead of breaking [Gm] up, I wish that we were making [D] up again.
I [G] beg of [Em] you, [Am] don't say goodbye.
[G]
Can't we [Am] give our love [F] another [G] try?
[B] Come on, [G] baby, start [A] anew.
Breaking up is [G] hard to do.
[D] Again, they [Gm] say that breaking [C] up [Gm] is [C] hard to [F] do.
Now I know, know that it's [Fm] true.
[Bb] Don't [Fm] say [Bb] this is the [Eb] end.
Instead of breaking [Gm] up, I wish that we were making [D] up again.
I [G] beg of [Em] you, [C]
[Am] don't say [G] goodbye.
Can't we [Am] give our love another [G] try?
[B] Come on, [Em] baby, let's start [A] anew.
[D] Breaking up is [G] hard to do.
Down, doo-bee [Am]-doo, down, [G] down.
The best lyrics.
Down, doo-bee [C]-doo, down, [D] down.
[G] Come on, come on, down, doo-bee [Am]-doo, down, [D] down.
[G] Breaking up is [C] hard [G] to do.
[N] _ Neil Soudaka, thank you, Neil.
Bravo.
