So I just shook his hand, forgot about my plansРІР‚В¦ You sit still or you roam somethingРІР‚в„ўs bound to happen ItРІР‚в„ўs all in the air itРІР‚в„ўs a lot like magic So I took that line and I wrote this song He said you live each day like a very last one I didnРІР‚в„ўt want it at first then I said alright. Since I took the time to type out the lyrics (JoshРІР‚в„ўs handwriting isnРІР‚в„ўt very legible) IРІР‚в„ўll go ahead and publish them: Lyrics for РІР‚СљA Lot Like MagicРІР‚Сњ by Josh Rouse from The Happiness Waltz album. You can pick it up pretty fast from that video. So itРІР‚в„ўs like Gmaj7 РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ Dmaj7 РІР‚вЂњ Gmaj7 РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ Bm РІР‚вЂњ A. On the solo part itРІР‚в„ўs almost exactly the chords of the chorus, except it begins on the Gmaj7. The Chorus progression is: Em РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ Dmaj7 РІР‚вЂњ Gmaj7 РІР‚вЂњ Em РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ Bm РІР‚вЂњ A. IРІР‚в„ўm just thinking of the open names for these shapes.) There is one little twist in the verse: On the third line the progression switches to: G РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ G РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ Bm. The opening riff, which is the same as most of the verse is: Bm РІР‚вЂњ F#m РІР‚вЂњ G РІР‚вЂњ A РІР‚вЂњ D (ThatРІР‚в„ўs not transposed up 5 half steps like it should be. If youРІР‚в„ўre wanting to learn to play this, then this Rhapsody Video should be all you need:Р”Р„s you can see from the video, he puts a capo on the fifth fret. I love the production and the sound quality of the video, and whatРІР‚в„ўs even better, most of the video shows his chord frettings, enough that I could pick out the entire arrangement with each chord. Then by chance, in March, when Josh was at SxSW, Rhapsody filmed him singing this very tune. But I couldnРІР‚в„ўt pick out the chords by ear. I was like РІР‚СљDamn, that chorus is as good as Van Morrison!РІР‚Сњ The music, the words, the theme of the song, everything attracted me. The first time I heard it, it blew me away. And the highest bidder won a hand written signed lyric sheet. Now, to be fair, I donРІР‚в„ўt know Josh, but he had been doing these РІР‚СљStageItРІР‚Сњ shows on the internet in which audience members could participate as well as donate to the artist. And as I was sorting what I needed to keep from the rubbage, there it was: the hand written lyric sheet for РІР‚СљA Lot Like MagicРІР‚Сњ that Josh had mailed me last fall. Well, I was cleaning off one of my counters this morning, all the paper and junk mail had piled up.
