Mark Pountney Interview on Vintage Radio

I was invited to do an interview with Cliff Howarth on Vintage Radio last week. I played three new tunes and discussed the recording of my new album.

As well as perfoming three songs; You Got it All, Nothing Lasts Forever and The Key, I discussed early influences, songwriting technique and some of the session work I’ve been doing on Pedal Steel. I recently recorded some steel for the Sums on their now album, Better, and Shadow Captain, the artist formally known as Stuart Todd’s new album. The interview was streamed live on facebook.

Maybe It’s Time (A Star Is Born) – Cover – Bradley Cooper – how to play

A cover version of Maybe It’s Time from the movie a Star is born, which stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.  Lyrics and chords below..this is how I played it anyways, after listening to it a couple of times.

[Chorus 1]

G               C          G
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
C                                                             G
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
C
It takes a lot to change a man
G                     Em
Hell, it takes a lot to try
D                                             C             G
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die

[Verse 1](chords same as chorus)

Nobody knows what waits for the dead
Nobody knows what waits for the dead
Some folks just believe in the things they’ve heard and things they read
Nobody knows what awaits for the dead

[Verse 2]
C                                                                           G
I’m glad I can’t go back to where I came from
C                                                                       G
I’m glad those days are gone, gone for good
C                                                            G                    Em
But If I could take spirits from my past and bring them here you
D
know I would

C
Know I would

[Verse 3] (chords same as chorus)

Nobody speaks to God these days
Nobody speaks to God these days
I’d like to think he’s lookin’ down and laughin’ at our ways
Nobody speaks to God these days

[Verse 4] (chords same as verse 2)
When I was a child they tried to fool me
Said the worldly man was lost and that a Hell was real
But I’ve seen Hell in Reno And this world’s one big old Catherine wheel Spinning still

[Chorus 2]

Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
It takes a lot to change your plans
And a train to change your mind
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
[Outro]

Oh, maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
