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

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

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

G D

And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in

G D E A

Bm

I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time

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

Bm

- D - A - F# - D - A)

D

orchestra

D Em

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
