Chords for Sean Lennon Autotunes John's Voice (Watch the Sound)

I say that if John Lennon had had an opportunity,
he would have been all over it.
Not so much to fix your voice, but just to play with it.
Hold on, John.
John, hold on.
It's gonna be all right. _
_ Apologize to the annals of music history
for what I'm about to do.
It's pretty funny.
I think it's cool that you think so.
Okay, so here we go.
Why don't we fuck with the harmony engine,
which is the sort of synthetic vocoder in here.
Oh, Lord.
We have brought him to the 2021.
I'll put the guitar in or something just so you have-
Give me something, Mark.
So you got something-
You gotta give me something, Mark.
So you got some-
I don't know where I am.
I'm in the dark.
To keep time, so you can keep time.
All right, let's try this.
_ _ _ [E] Mark made me do [F#m] this.
It wasn't my idea.
[B] This wasn't [F#m] my idea.
It was his idea.
_ _ [E] _
Oh, Lord.
_ _ _ _ Oh, Lord.
[F#m] It's gonna be all right.
_ _ _ _ [E]
You're [C#m] gonna win the fight.
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ It's definitely true that my dad didn't like his voice alone,
[F#m] like a single voice.
Part of it is why he found all those flanges
and phase [G#m] effects, because he was always trying
to find a way to make his voice [E] sound better to him.
_ [F#m] He always was not just like keeping up with the technology,
but the Beatles and my dad,
they were [G#m] always on the cutting edge of [B] what was happening.
I think for sure he would have [F#] tried autotune.
♪ [C#m] Ringo, _ warm, [C#m] really [C#] warm ♪
♪ Get things done [A] like they've [C#m] never been done [E] _ before ♪
_ _ That is funny.
I think it's also obviously,
because it's a beautiful song,
but I actually think it sounds kind of lovely.
I never thought I would get to play with Ringo on drums,
and I definitely never thought I was gonna be doing
some jazzy autotune.
So this is the vocal with the harmony [E] engine on.
Oh no.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [B] This is the robot version.
It's like the future.
You're gonna [G#m] win the fight.
Sometimes [F#m] it's nice though.
It makes a weird thing, you know?
I feel like some moments more than others.
Like there's a little trills at the end.
That's why I tried to do those,
because it's almost like he's giving us a little feel.
Whereas when it's just like nailed right on the note,
it's a little bit more computery.
It does something cool to the voice here now.
_ [C#m] _ Yeah.
[G#] Yeah.
That was like falsetto.
That was a Mariah [F#] Carey moment.
[G#] Should we see what it sounds like
if we feed back a bit of the real [E] vocal in,
and just to hear? Yeah.
_ Okay.
♪ Hold on, John, _ John, hold on, [F#m] it's gonna be all right.
♪
That sounds good.
It's also amazing that [G#m] it still does
fully sound like your dad.
Cause [A] I do think you can tell [B] kind of who it is.
♪ I'm [G#m] going to sail [C#] and there's no one [B] else.
♪
♪ You just have [G#m] _ yourself, [F#] move to [G#]
yourself.
[E] ♪
♪ Just to hold on.
_ _ ♪
_ _ _ Any machine is only as soulful
as
