People Get Ready Chords by Phil Collins

People Get Ready chords by Phil Collins

Guitar chords with lyrics

I was going through some old cassettes I had made, and I ran
across a nearly-forgotten live version of "People Get Ready"
performed by Phil Collins.  I remember it came off a video of
one of his concerts.  It was a nice arrangement, with just
Daryl Stuermer (sp?) on guitar, and a vocal quartet backing him
with gospel harmonies.  So I did some digging and found a
lyric/chord sheet I had made for the song.  Maybe someone
will find it entertaining.

A couple of notes here: As performed, Daryl has a Strat with
a chorus box, giving a real ringy tone.  He does a half-
chorus-length intro starting at the 9th fret (D-form),
then drops to the normal form for the rest of the first
two verses (easier heard than described!).

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
After the 2nd verse, the song transistions up a half step,
which Daryl starts on the 10th fret (again in D-form).
In order to minimize jumping around, I play the bulk of the
last two verses barred at the 3rd fret.  This allows me to
hit all the chords easily.

Well, those were some long-winded notes.  Enjoy!

I don't think I've seen this recording on disc (I dubbed it
from the video), but the video probably dates from the early
to mid-80s if anybody is interested.
