Standard (EADGBE)

The very day I purchased it I christened my guitar

As my monophonic symphony six string orchestra

In my room I'd practice late, and they'd leave me alone

My mother said, "You're nothin' yet, to make the folks write home."

I'd play at all the talent nights, I'd finish, they'd applaud

Some called in muffled laughter, I just figured they were awed

So I went up for an encore, but they screamed they'd had enough

or, maybe I just need a group to help me do my stuff

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

And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

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

And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine

And we'd all play together like fine musicians should

And it would sound like music and the music would sound good

But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula

I write love songs for my favorite girl and sing 'em soft and slow

But before I get to finish she says she has to go

She's nice and say, "Excuse me, I've got to find a bar

I think I need refreshment 'fore I hear you play guitar."

I sent a demo tape I made to the record companies

Two came back address unknown, one came back C.O.D.

Of course I got form letters all sayin' pleasant things

Like suggesting I should find a trade where I would not have to sing

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

And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

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

And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine

And we'd all play together like fine musicians should

And it would sound like music and the music would sound good

But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula

I've been takin' guitar lessons but my teacher just took leave

It was something about a breakdown or needing a reprieve

I know I've found my future so I will persevere

And hold on to my dream of makin' music to their ears

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

And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

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

And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine

And we'd all play together like fine musicians should

And it would sound like music and the music would sound good

But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula
