Chords for Yanni and Sarah O'Brien working on With An Orchid

_ _ _ _ _ There you [B] are.
Hi [C] everybody, it's nice to see you again.
[D] This is the way we spend our time after we've been on [C] the road for six months, almost every day.
We have [Ab] been swimming, [C] walking on the beach, kite surfing.
I don't say anything about that because people worry about my hands.
[N] I do things I shouldn't be doing.
So far, so good.
We're having a good time.
In reality, what we've been doing is we have been in the studio, this is one part of the
studio, and we've been working on new music.
And this [D] particular piece of music that I'm working on right now is very [C] close to my heart.
[Em] And [C] I really [Cm] wanted my very close [F] friend, and you have [C] seen her on the videos [D] everywhere,
I mean, she's [G] especially the very first [Db] Royal [Dm] Albert Hall video.
That's how long she has been with me.
It's absolutely beautiful.
_ Her name [Eb] is Sarah O'Brien, [Abm] she's from Nottingham, [C] England.
[Ab] And she plays absolutely [E] gorgeous.
And I think this piece is called With an Orchid, and I thought she [A] could do an amazing job
with the cello.
[Eb] Because the cello has the mannerisms that are [Bb] necessary for this particular piece.
[Eb] And [N] that's what we've been working on right now.
Yeah, it's a beautiful song, and this is the [Gm] best way to spend vacations.
I'm loving it.
[N] She just lied.
_ Actually, it's a good, she's not lying.
We love this.
This is great.
This is the creative process.
It's the best part.
And then, you know, what we do is, I just, we don't, actually, we're working on the song
as we speak.
I mean, you're getting a glimpse as to how things come together.
The very first people who are going to hear this song are the people in Houston, when
we start again in about a month.
This is the first time I'm going to play this song live.
That's it.
And I'm working on her cello parts, and what she's going to play, where she's going to
play it, how she's going to play it, because it has an Asian feel.
Because the piano, for example, you cannot slide notes.
So I can go, [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
whereas she can play the same [G] part. _ _ _
[D] _ _ Slide down.
[Em] _ There you go.
_ There you go. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] There you go.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ You see, [D] me going, [Bm] _
_ it doesn't [C] matter as much as you doing it. It's perfect.
[N] The song is perfect for the cello.
_ And, you know, I got to tell you, Sarah has been with me for a long, long time, as you
can tell from the videos, [B] how many videos she has been [Db] in.
She's been with me in [Dm] China and in India, Taj Mahal, [B] since the beginning.
[N] Long, long time.
And she's like mother hen.
She's the mother of the coop, of the orchestra.
She takes care of everything, you see. She does.
She takes care of all the music, all the papers, everybody's books, everybody makes sure everybody's okay.
I have seen, she's brave.
She's very beautiful, but, you know, don't underestimate your power.
She's a very powerful woman.
[D] And [G] she's very sweet.
She has her way of doing things.
And [C] she keeps the orchestra together.
[Db] Very, very important [C] human being for me.
[G] Well, it's been an amazing experience for me.
And I'm thrilled to play this song on the next [N] tour.
I'm very excited.
It's going to be awesome.
You're going to see her do this live.
I've already [C] been working with her for a couple of days on it.
And it's spectacular.
Spectacular.
And I've opened up a whole [Bb] minute at the front, where she gets to show us a little bit of
[B] how
