Chords for TY TABOR (KING'S X) NEW ALBUM / VIDEO EPK

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hi, _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm Ty Tabor and this is the beautiful Alien Bean Studio in beautiful Kansas City. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Welcome to Alien Bean Studio.
This is where I do everything musically that I do.
I love this place.
Alien Bean Studio, I founded around 1996.
I was just doing a demo on a record that ended up being called Naomi's Solar Pumpkin.
So during that time I bought some gear and that's when I _ started the studio.
Pretty much everything that I do, I put some kind of name on it that either makes me smirk
or laugh at it so that I don't take it too terribly serious.
A lot of King's X albums [A] are that way.
The album Gretchen [F] Goes to Nebraska was a joke name that we were laughing about that
ended up being our most critically acclaimed album. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
The new album is featuring some of the [F] older songs, some back catalog along with some new songs.
Everything that I've ever recorded was at Alien [Eb] Beans. _
[C] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
[Bb] Right here [F] is an exact [C] replica of the stereo I had in high school [E] in the 70s.
I loved [C] this Kenwood receiver and amp more than any home sounding unit I've ever heard before.
And this is what I listened to vinyl on just for _ inspiration.
_ [Eb] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ I [Cm] don't think that I ever _ wrote music _ [G] with the thought that it would be [Bb]
for [F] myself or
for [Cm] King's X or the Jelly Jam or whoever that I'm [F] playing with.
I just write music, period.
[Bb] _ _ [Am] Songs just got left over from [G] other projects because I'm always writing.
So I had these [F] songs that I didn't want to [Bb] lose [Cm] that were important to me even [Eb] though
they didn't fit within the [C] bands I was playing.
So I [Bb] decided [F] to just start [C] putting them out myself and that's how the solo thing [D] started.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ My friends told him he was gonna [Eb] go far.
[F] The whole concept behind the new album [C] _
originally was simply to re-release a [F] lot of my old catalog
[G] that [C] was only released online that most people don't really know about.
Basically my back catalog that's kind [G] of been hidden [C] among just the fans for a long [G] time.
But I didn't just want to re-release the same stuff.
[Bb] A lot of times when you release [Cm] an album you wish you could later go back and fix a little
thing or mix this [F] differently or whatever.
So I [C] took a look at all the old songs [Eb] _
in that light [G] and I did do some tweaking.
[Bb] I remixed some of it and [Cm] _ remastered all of [Bb] it.
But we didn't stop there and we ended up spending a whole year me writing a whole [Am] new album
too [G]
and decided to put them both out together so it's not just the old _ [Cm] compilation of stuff
that people don't know about but it's brand new songs too.
So [C] double album all down there.
_ [Bb] _
[Am] This is _ [G] _ _ [C] a [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] Silbertone with soap bars because I wanted something that had that kind of cool
soap [F] bar sound and that's [C] used on the record a lot.
Matter of fact this was [Bb] the main guitar for [A] Johnny Guitar [Bb] for that [F] kind of clanky [Gm] tone.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] Johnny [G] Guitar just [C] kind of came to me [Eb] and I originally was kind of writing fiction for
[F] fiction, just [G] a story [C] _ _ based on real things.
[Bb] _ _
[G] And then as I was writing it just [F] became real things.
It became [Cm] me.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [F] It's definitely [Cm] a song that all _ musicians trying [A] to make [Bb] it [F] can identify [G] with.
[Cm] You have to be able to deal [G] with rejection _ _
[A] [Gm] to be able to have [F] any chance of making it
as an [G] artist.
[Cm] It's not a [G] choice for me.
I have to do this.
I would go [Bb] crazy if I didn't do this.
[Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [Cm] _ A _ _ _ little [F] vinyl station where I have a few choice vinyls here at the studio for [C] listening
to over there on my old _ 1970s system.
[F] Of course I've got some [G] Beatles.
[Fm] I'm [C] a huge Beatle fan.
Just Beatles go forever [Eb] here.
_ Just [F] _ tons of Beatles.
[C] Here's the album that had I Want to Hold Your [F] Hand, the first song I ever heard by the Beatles
that changed my [Eb] life.
[C] Of course I love Kiss.
Got some great Kiss [A] stuff.
Oh here's some Collector _ King's X [Cm] stuff.
I was just hugely influenced by 60s, [Gm] 70s [C] music _ and that's mostly what I have here to listen [G] to. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb]
In [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] going through the old stuff I really forgot about a lot of it, especially [E] when you're
mixing it [G] again and you're really hearing all the little parts.
There were gems all over the place that I had [Bb] forgotten about and I started going back
reliving them all.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] I wrote a lot of new stuff.
We intentionally grabbed some of the most rocking stuff that I've [C] recorded before.
Some of the most aggressive stuff.
We wanted it [F] to be _ more of [G] an in your face guitar album.
Step the guitar up, play some leads, _ [C] turn up the amp, [G] get nasty. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ This is what I call my amp wall.
This Marshall is [C] from [G] King's X Ear Candy era.
One of the best Marshalls I've ever played through.
That's why I still have it.
[Cm] It's what I record the large majority [Fm] of all my rhythm tracks with and [Dm] leads.
[Gm]
This is a [C] highly modified Valve Junior. _
[Bb] This is a standard Valve Junior.
[Cm] Use these on all kinds of stuff too. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ Freight train can [C] be used as a figure of speech to mean [G] something that just kind of bowls you [F] over.
Something that's way [Cm] powerful and [G] unstoppable.
I wanted it musically _ to be a wall of guitars [C] on the chorus [Gm] that would be [G] just this intimidating
wall of sound that you can't get away [C] from.
Our freight train is [G] headed right at us period.
We're either going to get run over by it or recognize it and admit it [E] eventually and do
something about it.
[G] _ That's kind of what the song is about. _ _ _ _ _
[C] This [D] is [G] home to me.
I've been for a few years and going to get right back to writing [C] new songs here very [G] soon. _ _ _
