Chords for Tanya Tucker - “While I’m Livin’” Album Trailer Pt. 1

_ _ _ _ Hi, baby.
Hi.
Good to see you.
How you doing?
Good to see you.
Love you.
Long time no see.
Hey, Daniel.
Hi.
I'm Brandi.
I know you. _ _
[B] So we were talking, what about doing High Riding Heroes first?
[N] _
High Riding Heroes?
_ I was when he was from the rodeos, just an old man's dreams.
Move on.
In between. _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Bb] As _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] a child, the first song [Am] I ever sang out of the gate was called Tennessee Flattop Bucks
by Roseanne Cash.
And then, I heard Delta Dawn.
[E] And I thought, [Eb] no one sounds as [Bb] tough as Tani Tucker. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ She was always [F] kind of a rebel maverick, really like Annie Oakley.
She owns her style and [Bb] nobody else is like [F] her.
[G]
Tanya is the real [Cm] deal, [Bb] because she comes from nothing.
[F] [Eb] Brandi and I are of a different generation, but we're people that really care about older
music and we really care about [Bb] the past and the future.
I think there's a certain [Ab] kind of responsibility for [Bb] music being in good hands.
I had to do this project because when I heard [Ab] that Tanya Tucker had made a record [Bb] in the
better part of 15 years, I suddenly realized how much [Cm] I had forgotten [Fm] and how [Bb] much I think
that the rest of the world has forgotten how potent [Fm] an influence Tanya Tucker has been
[Bb] on women in country and rural American [C] economies. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] All right, everybody.
Annie Tucker's in the building. _
When _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ I first got pulled into the [Em] project, it was Shooter, because Shooter knows about
what a Tanya fan [D] I am.
I kind of just, in passing, [G] I was like, I just recorded Tanya Tucker for this thing
and she [C] like lost her shit.
I'm [G] fangirling, sorry.
Instantly, I was like, okay, you want to do it [D] with me?
He sends me [C] Tanya's phone number and I [G] text her and then she texts back.
She's like, who the hell is this Brandy bitch? _ _ _
_ That was how I met Tanya.
Right up until, I guess maybe a couple days before I came, I [C] really didn't know if I was
going to come because [G] I didn't know if the songs were really something that I could do well.
[C] I believe in [G] Tanya more than she believes in herself.
We're going at your pace and everybody's just happy whenever you_
You be backing up, you're going at my pace.
[Gb] One, two, three, [Am] four. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Our original inspiration for this project was Rick Rubin's movement that he was able
to pull together around Johnny Cash.
I think it's time for that [A] again with regards to women in country music.
Brandy's such a fan and she takes these moments [Am] of Tanya's stories and [A] then writes them into
something and then Tanya pulls them right back across the center line.
[Am] I got a chorus and I sang it to Loretta the other night.
She called me.
She's always wanting to know if I would need any [A] money.
Wait, you know who Lynn?
Loretta Lynn.
Next time I'm going to say this for the hell of it.
Yeah, I do.
Like Lauren Lynn?
Wait. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] Tanya's voice is in all of us that sing country [Am] music and it's time for us to do [F] an about
face and recognize [C] that.
See, well, when I was a kid, you were everything.
[A] Well, because you sounded so [F] tough.
And I knew I [C] was a little bit different.
I knew that my gender wasn't [Am] on point with the [F] other women in my family.
It [C] just wound up being a really [A] inspirational kind of butting of [F] heads trying to convince
Tanya [C] that you do have this depth.
You are this [A] woman.
That was it.
I don't know.
I'm [F] so tired.
[C] Shit.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
We'll get it.
Let the pressure go.
This [A] is about you.
[F] Tanya fucking took her.
[C] I know what we've got in the can.
And it's [G] fabulous.
You're just _ [C] killing it.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ I don't think anybody [F] can be truly inspirational and [C] truly wise and know it.
And she doesn't know it and that's why it's a real [F] thing.
Holy shit, that sounds amazing.
[C] I think we really ultimately want to elevate [F] Tanya to her proper icon status.
[Am] It's amazing the beautiful things that come together when [A] someone steps out of their comfort zone.
That's a fucking [G] Tanya Tucker [Am] song now.
_ _ Oh, this is good.
This is real good.
[G] _ [Am] Bottoms up, bitches. _ _
I hope it's successful because it was a lot of fun to make.
And if that's the way it is, it's going to be even.
_ Perfect. _
_ _ [Dm] _ Fishy.
But [Eb] okay.
I'm not going away, people.
So just to him. _ _ _
