“Musicalmente tenía las ideas muy claras. Sólo fue cuestión de buscar gente adecuada para llevarlas a cabo. Al principio se trató de continuar con el material con el que había estado trabajando con Yardbirds. La cuestión era incorporar todo eso al sonido acústico y al blues”.(sobre New Yarbirds)
“Los bateristas con los que había trabajado en sesiones sonaban como si estuviese golpeando una caja de cartón.

Someone requested Blues Anthem by Jimmy Page and Chris Farlow. You'll find the song on Jimmy Page `Outrider' or Chris Farlow `Waiting In The Wings'. I love especially the a capella version on `Waiting In The Wings'. The lyrics maybe not right, because I'm not native speaking, sorry for that.
Peace

Blues Anthem -- Words and Music by Page/Farlow
{Intro} [E] [E] [A] [E] [E] [F#mB] [E] [E]
{Verse 1} If I [E]cannot be so happy with [A]out you my [E]dear, If I cannot hold you close evr'y [F#7]second that you're [B]here, You must [A]know I can't go on. [E] Ev'ry [A]time I sing my [E]song. If I cannot have your love [F#7] I'll [B]sing the [E]blues.
{Verse 2} Every time I'm feeling low and far away. All the time I think of you, every second of the day. And you know you hurt my pride, Bud I'd rather be by your side. If I cannot have your love I'll sing the blues.
{Chorus 1} Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife. How can a man expect to be so [B]free. [Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load, Is becoming far [E/C#] too much, [F#m]too much [B]for [E]me.
{Verse 3} If I cannot be so happy then I'm gonna be on my way. The many nights I needed your love it never worked out that way. For I must have my babe, For I'm feeling extremely sad. If I cannot have your love I'm gonna play the blues.
{Solo}
{Chorus 2} Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife. How can a man expect to be so [B]free. [Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load, Is becoming far [E/C#] too much, [F#m]too much [B]for [E]me. Yes I'd [E]rather have [E/C#]your love [F#m]than [B]singing then [E]blues. Yes I'd [E]rather have [E/C#]your [A/F#]love baby than sing the [E]blues.
