The new Wow
I'm all right.
Yeah.
Yeah, I could see we're gonna go all our yesterday yesterday the patchy we've got the tune
There's no intro to it
Everything needs an intro any piece of music you hear has some kind of introductory passage
It's almost like two people meeting, you know, ideally becomes recognizable soon as you hear it bang
So I came up with this this intro idea, which everyone seemed to like and we had them
[Am] sprung
[D]
[Am] [Dm]
[Am] [E] [A]
[F#] [E]
And that's basically into the tune there.
Oh
Look at this is where we used to put all our stuff remember overnight
There used to be a cupboard under the stairs where all the percussion used to be.
Was it this one?
This used to be full of percussion.
Oh, was it that one this one?
Oh, yeah a little one
It's full of other junk.
No
[N]
All we need is Hank and Cliff I
Felt thrilled that they were gonna do it
It finally do something that was good and having heard them rehearse and everything
It sounded to me like a hit cliff came along played on the Chinese drum at the beginning of it as well
And they said why don't you play?
So I did that
[Dm]
[A] And then as [Em] soon as they took off [D] I started playing it I just they [Am] faded me out
[D] [Am]

Following the recording session at Abbey [F] Road hopes were high for a big [C] hit [G] but there was one thing standing in their [N] way
Apache came out three weeks
After my record, please don't tease
[D] Cliff was already at number one with his hit.
Please don't [Gm] tease [A] backed by the shadows
[G#] [G]
[Bm] Apache went into [Am] the charts at number 19
It faced an almighty [E] battle to depose the master from the top spot
[A] We decided to try to do a few things [Em] that might help with [E] the record
Hank and the boys launched a guerrilla marketing campaign in the music press to help things along
They're coming Apache's coming.
It caught your eye because it was something different
[C] Is it gonna do anything?
Is it gonna do [A] anything and then you're [Em] up to number nine this week.
Oh
Great, right.
Yeah, then it's not a [Am] seven in the charts couldn't believe it
You know, we were so excited and then I think it moved up to [E] three the next week.
I get that slippery
This is your last draw
[Em] [E] You're up to number two
My record was number one for three [C] weeks
[N]
And Apache knocked it off
We were absolutely thrilled you better get him over to the doctor was a bit of a shock
But we were planning for them to be a hit but none of us I don't think even [Em] they thought they were gonna be [A] number one
[E] Apache stayed [A] at number one for five weeks [C] and sold over a million copies
[A]
[D] [A]
[D] Bruce [Am]
[A] Welsh became a [G] highly respected [D] music producer [F] and was behind two of Cliff Richards biggest hits
Devil woman [A] and we [Am] don't talk anymore
[D] [A] He
Continues to live in [Dm] London with the famous [A] red strata casta.
[Bm]
