Chords for Phil Collins - 'Going Back' (Interview)

_ My idea was to make an old record, [A#] _ _ not make a new [A#m] record. _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
I've always wanted to do an [A#] album cover, you know.
[G#] _ _ And I'd always loved Motown.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] That was my life.
[A#m] That was how I grew up.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [A#] I really enjoyed _ _ the demo [B] process, you know, doing it [F#m] all at home.
[A] _ I mean, every record I've done has really been my demos,
and then people [F#m] brought in very, very carefully,
searched at the door for any ideas.
And if they come up with any ideas, _ they're sent home, you know.
I just, this is what I want, OK.
[A#] I don't want that, [A] I want this.
_ [C] _ _ _
[Bm] I just plunged straight in and asked Bob Babbitt
if the Funk [F#] Brothers would [B] do it.
[Am] He said that they would love to do it. _
[G] We are so happy to be here, and to keep the name [D#] going for all the Funk Brothers.
_ [D#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [D#] _
_ [C#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ I didn't actually know _ if I could play _ anymore. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] We just did a trial session here one day,
and the first thing I hit, a stick flew out of my hand,
because I lost all _ strength in my left hand.
I had to gaffer the stick to my hand.
So I had this Dr Strangelove kind of thing,
where I'd be walking around with a _ _ stick taped to my hand.
All right, well, let's do a few goes of this.
_ So I've had the operations now. _
I've had one on my neck, and one on my elbow, and one on my palm.
_ And still I can't feel a f***ing thing.
But they tell me in time it'll get better. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I didn't want to bring anything new to these [E] songs.
_ _ _ [F#] I wanted it [C] to sound the way it did, and the way, to me, it should [C#] sound.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [C#m] Heatwave has always been [F#m] to me the _ one song,
[Bm] if you had to [C#m] characterize Motown, [D] would be that.
[E] _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I mean, the sun just comes out when you [C#] hear it.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] You know, I never dreamt anything.
I never dreamt I'd better make a living playing the drums, let alone_ _ anything else.
And then _ something happened and it all changed.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I found myself getting very emotional _ singing it. _
I don't know why, I [C] think it's the lyrics. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ With [G] _
my mum's_
_ It's just you start thinking about [Em] childhood. _ _ _ _ _
So it's _ [Bm] one of my favourite songs. _
_ _ _ _ _and
every [Em]
day to leave _ _ _ _
My magic [G] has _ died _
_ _ _ [D] And I can play _ _ hide [C] and seek with [G] my feet
_ _ It is full circle for me.
_ [C] I've made a record with the people who've made the records.
There are countless [G] my years _
_ Really, it's the knot, if you like, at the end of the rope,
you know, that ties the beginning to the [C] end.
But you _ don't know _
_ _ I'm [G] going back
The most enjoyable _ record I've ever made.
I'm going back _
Wouldn't have missed it for the world. _ _ _
I'm going back _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
