Take No Prisoners - Introduction chords by Janis Ian
Verse 1
C
F
D
I like closing with
the next song
C
D
because it says a lot of how I
C
feel about being a writer
and as cliched as this is
I've wanted to do what I'm doing tonight
since I was two and a half years old
so it's it's really amazing
to me
C
that I still get to do it and be up here
and people actually come
C
who aren't even my relatives or anything.
It's an amazing thing
to be a songwriter.
C
You know, you pray to write songs
B
C
like 17 or Stars or Jessie
that touch people's hearts.
You hope to make some
kind of a change in people's lives
and also earn a living while you're doing it.
and I've been really lucky.
I think it's just the best job in the
D#
world because artists,
C
when we're doing our job,
we get to take people's dreams
and make something visible out
of them.
D
C
And then when people forget
that they have dreams
and everything looks
really dark and horrible,
we get to remind you that they exist,
and that's a serious privilege for us,
G
C
you know? I feel like I stand on a lot of people's bones
every time I get up on stage,
C
and the bones of people
like Billie Holiday
who do that for me
and continue to do it for me,
and I don't know, it is a terrible cliche,
but it really is a real privilege
to be able to do it night after night,
So, thank you for that
G
C
D#
Ebm
Eb
and, um... I
Ebm
do, I do.
