[A] [E] [A]
[E] We were talking [C] about the licks on different songs.
I was about 8th grade in junior high.
Where?
We [N] was at King School, Kane'ohe.
Oh, I was right down the road from there.
You lived in Kane'ohe for a long time.
Yeah, I lived right up the road from the fire [D] department.
In high school I used to go to art class and get all stoned listening to you while I did art.
[G] [N] Anyway, we used to camp at Kahuku Golf Course.
So I'm about 8th grade, about 15 or so, I pick up Gabby's guitar [G] and I just tune this really funky tuning.
[E] [D#] So he laughs, you know.
It's a B flat.
It's a jazz tuning.
So he teaches me the tuning.
[C] So I'm asking him about music and [B] he goes,
He goes, to the day you die, stuff you play [C] will be influenced by what you've heard.
I will give you an example.
[D#] He goes, there's this song on a brown gabby album he plays.
There's this riff.
One on the kawaii I think is the [B] song.
He [A#] plays it, he plays it, then he goes, listen to it carefully.
He plays it kind of [C] fast.
Then he slows it down about half the time.
[F#] It's that [F] hook in Shambhala.
[N] He does it twice as fast and that's the riff he's playing.
Opening, one on the kawaii on brown [F#] gabby.
So he told me that's [B] what I got that lick with.
It was [A] a Three Dog Night Chicago [E] concert.
I played it in LA man!
I mean, come on, [F#] it was the 60's man!
It was a Three Dog Night Chicago concert [C] at the Blaisdell.
Now Gabby told me this story when I was 8th grade.
Four months ago, [Dm] me, Martin Paiinui, Cheryl Paiinui, I really care,
[N] did the Hawaiian night for Emmy and Jim Burns at Kahala.
Jim's the new boss at Governor Burns' son's.
Yeah, he married me!
He's the boss at Kahala now.
Once a month they've got a Hawaiian night so they hired us.
So it was myself, Cheryl Paiinui, Martin Paiinui and Willie K.
So we're all telling Gabby stories and then Martin talks about
His 16th birthday, or whatever, 20 or something birthday,
Gabby bought him tickets to the Three Dog Night Chicago concert.
And Martin said, my dad, come and give me two tickets.
He said, the only thing, you gotta take me with you.
So Martin gets the two tickets [F] and it was at that same concert [E] so I knew.
So I told my story and it [F#] confirmed that Willie K.
was tripping out.
