Chords for ~The Stevie Nicks Special~ Interview P1

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ After growing up in several western cities, the music started around San Francisco.
I was a senior in high school and Lindsey was a junior [G] and we went to a Young Life meeting,
which is this [B] religious meeting that simply got you [Gb] out of the house on Wednesday night.
_ And he was [B] there and I was there and we sat down and sang California Dreaming.
_ I thought
it was darling.
I didn't see him [Bm] again for two years and he called me up and said, would
you like to be in a rock and roll band?
And [Bb] all I [B] did was play my little guitar and write
[Gb] songs.
And I said, _ why not?
I've got [Gm] nothing else to do.
And so then I was in [G] this band
with him for three and a half years, a band called Fritz.
_ And he and I [B] didn't start going
together until that band broke [G] up.
So we really, we played, we toured all over _ San Francisco
[B] basically, but that was right in the [Gb] midst of the big San Francisco music, so we opened
for _ everybody.
_ Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin.
We moved from San Francisco to LA with about
nine songs that Lindsey and I had recorded on his four track Ampex.
[Eb] And we spent about
a year in a little [Gm] tiny room _ recording these songs.
And when we were done, we got a [D] deal
with Arlo in about three months. _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Don't Let Me Down [Bb] Again, the opening track from the
Buckingham Knicks album on the Stevie Nicks special.
Frozen Love is her only collaboration
with [Ab] Lindsey on that LP.
Frozen Love [Gb] is a strange song.
And Lindsey worked very hard
on it.
That's the reason that I [Bb]
split that.
[Bm] That's the only song I've ever said was written
by me and somebody else because he wrote the middle part, the whole beautiful middle part. _ _
And it took a long time, that song.
I mean, over a period of months and months and months
and months of _ putting it together. _ _
It was a difficult song.
So we acted on stage for
a while.
And it's a really interesting song to do on stage. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Landslide from the White Fleetwood Mac LP on the Stevie Nicks special.
[G] Landside I wrote in Aspen _ [E] three months before I joined Fleetwood Mac [B] along with Rhiannon.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ That's where the Snow-Covered Mountains came from.
And I was definitely doing a lot of
reflecting [Bm] when I was up there.
Lindsey was on the road with the Everly Brothers.
I was
very unhappy and lonely and trying to figure out why he was out with the Everly Brothers
and I was in Aspen with $40. _ _
And my dog and my Toyota that went frozen the day we got
there.
_ And we thought he was going to make like lots of money.
He didn't.
He came back
to Aspen and he was very angry with me and left me, took Ginny, the pool and the car
and left me in Aspen.
_ The day that the Greyhound buses went on strike, [Gm] I had a bus pass because
my dad was president [Gb] of Greyhound.
I had a bus pass.
I could go anywhere.
I said, fine,
take the car and the dog.
I have a bus pass. _
I had a strep throat also.
He drove away.
I walk in on the radio and it says, [G] Greyhound buses on strike all over the United States.
I'm going, _ _ I'm stuck.
[Gbm] So in order [B] to get out of Colorado I had to call my parents and they
unwillingly sent me a plane ticket because they didn't understand what I [Gm] was doing up
there in the first place.
[Bm] So I followed him back to Los Angeles.
[Ab]
That was like October.
It was all [G] around Halloween.
Two months later, Steve McMac [N] called on New Year's Eve.
Coming up, more from Mac's White Album and rumors.
The Stevie Nick special with your
host Denny Somac [Eb] will return from the series.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ Rhiannon [F] on the Stevie Nick special from [Bb] the White Fleetwood Mac album.
Really, it's Rhiannon. _
Which, forget that.
Don't try to say that.
Rhiannon is the prettiest
way to say it.
_ _ It's a Welsh name.
_ [Gb] _ _ Rhiannon [Bb] never loses its thing.
It's the [Bm] first song
I sit down and play at the piano.
Whenever I play anything at the piano, I always start
playing Rhiannon first.
[Bb] _ _ _ It's just such a [B] pretty song.
Another song on that album, Crystal, at first appeared on the Buckingham Knicks record.
[Ab] John McVie wanted to put that on the Fleetwood Mac album.
The first time [Bb] he heard it he said,
I want this on the album.
And I didn't really because it took the place of a new song.
_ [Bm]
Since
I write so much, I _ don't need to keep putting _ old songs that take places of new songs, which
means those new songs are backlogged for the next and for the next and for the next.
[G] But
he was insistent.
_ So I [Gbm] said, alright.
_ _ [Em] _
Always _ [G] _ trust [E] your first [G] ambition.
_ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ With her, [Bm] that little [Em] piano thing all through the end of it.
We listened to just that part
for days, [G] picking out the exact [Em] parts that we wanted in it.
And it was like mesmerizing.
So [G] when I [Bm] think of Crystal, I think of [Bm] those days with [B] Fleetwood Mac. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Rumors followed in 1977.
So did the much [N] publicized problems within Fleetwood Mac, despite the
band's phenomenal [B] success.
Lindsay and I were breaking up when we joined Fleetwood Mac.
[Bb] But we couldn't break up and
join Fleetwood Mac at the same time.
It was too much [Bb] for one heart to take.
[B] _
_ So we didn't.
We stayed together for over [Bb] a year. _
_ Suddenly you've got a little money in your pocket [N] and
I had a nice apartment and I could go into a store and buy some clothes.
So I felt much
better.
[Bm] And Lindsay felt better.
And John and Chris felt better.
Because we were [Bb] excited.
Everybody [B] was excited about the record.
It's kind of like now with us.
There's a certain
excitement that can [Ab] really make you put all your personal problems away for a while and
just ride on that airstream.
_ And it took about 12 [B] months to catch up.
_ When we had all
airstreamed out, _ we realized that nothing had changed. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ And all the people you know that don't know what to [B] do, they have dreams and hopes and
things that they would like to do, but they really don't know.
It was never a choice for
me.
I [Ab] just knew exactly what I wanted to do.
[Eb] And I don't know if I hadn't have done that,
I really don't know what I would have [Gb] done.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Lindsay wrote, listen to the [Gm] wind blow.
_ That's it. _
[B] I had written the, if you don't love me
now, you'll never love me again, _ [Ab] a year before.
For something else, but it was the same melody.
_ So Lindsay said, can we use it?
And I said, well, you [N] realize that in taking, if you don't
love me now, you are ruining my song [Bb] because you are taking the chorus out of it.
[B] Well,
he didn't care that much.
And that was my chain idea because I was the one that decided
that this was a definite chain going on here.
There was a reason that the links in this
chain were _ holding together.
And it became a real theme song [C] for Fleetwood Mac.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ During the rumors session, Fleetwood Mac recorded, but ultimately did not include one of Stevie's favorite songs.
I wanted Silver Springs on the record.
Lindsay wanted I Don't Want to Know on the record
and recorded [G] it.
And Silver Springs was off.
_ And [B] it went off because it was too long.
[Bb]
It
was, the version that everybody heard was like four minutes and something, seventh.
And it, but it [Bm] was really seven minutes.
And it was an incredible seven minutes.
[N] _ _
_ _ I Don't
Want to Know on the record.
And the choice to take Silver Springs [B] off and put I Don't
Want to Know on will go down as the biggest question in history on whether that [Cm] was the
right thing to do or not.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[N] _ _ Coming up in hour two, Stevie's duets, Tusk and Solo Nicks.
The Stevie Nicks special with
your host, Denny Somak, will continue [Bb] from the source.
