Six String Orchestra

(início)

    D                         Em
The very day I purchased it I christened my guitar
      A                                       D
As my monophonic symphony six string orchestra
D                                 Em
In my room I'd practice late, and they'd leave me alone
    A                                    G        A
D
My mother said, "You're nothin' yet, to make the folks write home."
    F#m                                Em
I'd play at all the talent nights, I'd finish, they'd applaud
     Bm                F#m              E
A
Some called in muffled laughter, I just figured they were awed
     D                                Em
So I went up for an encore, but they screamed they'd had enough
     A                           G       A     D
or, maybe I just need a group to help me do my stuff
           G                              D
And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in
     G               D                 E                 A
And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin
Ab G                                  D
         Bm
I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time
    Em                 A           G            A
    D
And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine
    G                            D                  D7
And we'd all play together like fine musicians should
    G                   D              E                A
And it would sound like music and the music would sound good
Ab  G                                D
      Bm
But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula
             Em         A     Em          (individual notes:
- D - A - F# - D - A)
Me and my monophonic symphony six string
    D
orchestra
        D                                   Em
I write love songs for my favorite girl and sing 'em soft and slow
       A                                           D
But before I get to finish she says she has to go
                                     Em
She's nice and say, "Excuse me, I've got to find a bar
  A                                      G   A      D
I think I need refreshment 'fore I hear you play guitar."
  F#m                              Em
I sent a demo tape I made to the record companies
Bm              F#m                 E            A
Two came back address unknown, one came back C.O.D.
   D                             Em
Of course I got form letters all sayin' pleasant things
        A                                     G         A
  D
Like suggesting I should find a trade where I would not have to sing
           G                            D
And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in
     G              D                 E                  A
And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin
Ab G                                  D
         Bm

    Em                 A           G            A
    D

I've been takin' guitar lessons but my teacher just took leave
        A                                             D
It was something about a breakdown or needing a reprieve
                               Em
I know I've found my future so I will persevere
     A                            G     A          D
And hold on to my dream of makin' music to their ears
           G                              D
And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in
