Chords for The Touré-Raichel Collective "The Paris Session EPK"

_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] He is from _ _ Israel, [Eb] he is a Jew.
I am from Mali, [D] I am a Muslim.
_ [G] It [Cm] shows how there is no _ _ difference [Eb] between people.
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Cm] Many years ago I met Vufa Katoré at the airport in a random meeting
[Eb] and we just _ [D] said that we should play together.
[Cm] _ _
He was invited to play in Israel, _ [Eb] at _ the Opera [G] House.
We played [Cm] a concert there.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] That's where the collective started.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [B] It's not [Cm] just music, it's also friendship.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
It's a good friendship [G] and I think it's [Cm] kind of _ something that brings you back
[Eb] to the ground and to the essence [G] of the music,
of [Cm] what you always wanted to do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ We were very _
[D] _ _ _ surprised [A] from the big hug that [C] we got from [G] the media,
from the [Am] public, from [D] the audience all over.
[Bb] We thought [G] it's about time to [Am] meet again in [Dm] the studio.
So we thought [C] maybe in Mali, maybe again in Tel [Dm] Aviv.
We ended up meeting in [C] Paris.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] I came from Morocco [D] and he came from Israel the same day.
[Am] So we started working right away.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
It's not a project like [F] any other.
_ _ [Fm] _ _
[F] [F] We want it to come from the heart, from the soul.
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ In this project, we learn [F] a lot from each other.
There are certain things that he _ knows very well,
which is his music, _ but [Fm] he doesn't know my music.
_ [Eb] So [F] I learn a little from him and he learns a little from me.
_ _ _ _ I think that in any collaboration, _ [Fm] that's what _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] we're looking for.
[F] We have to pull something _ [Fm] to understand _ _ each other better
and that [F] others can understand you [A] better.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Music is universal, we have to show it, not just [Gb] say it. _ _ _ _ _ _
