	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 s	creamed they'd had enough

	A	G	A	D
or, m	aybe I just need a group to	help me	do my	stuff

	G	D
And so I dr	eam a bass will join me and fil	l the bottom in

	G	D	E	A
And m	aybe now some le	ad guitar so it wo	uld not sound so t	hin

	Bm
I need so	me 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 f	ine musicians shoul	d

	G	D	E	A
And	it would sound like	music and the m	usic would sound	good

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

Em A Em (individual notes:

	-	D	-	A	-	F#	-	D	-	A
	Me	a	nd	m	y	mon	op	ho	ni	c symphony six string

	D
orch	estra

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

	A	D
But bef	ore 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 y	ou p	lay gui	tar."

	F#m	Em
I	sent a demo tape I made to the re	cord companies

	Bm	F#m	E	A
	Two came back ad	dress unknown, one c	ame back C.O.	D.

	D	Em
Of	course I got form letters all	sayin' pleasant things

	D
Li	ke suggesting I should find a trade where I would not have to sing

	G	D
And so I dr	eam a bass will join me and f	ill the bottom in

	G	D	E	A
And m	aybe now some l	ead guitar so it w	ould not sound so t	hin

	Bm
I need so	me 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

orc	hestra

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

	A	D
It was s	omething about a breakdown or needing a reprie	ve

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

	A	G	A	D
And h	old on to my dream of makin'	music	to their ea	rs

	G	D
And so I dr	eam a bass will join me and fil	l the bottom in

	G	D	E	A
And m	aybe now some le	ad guitar so it wo	uld not sound so t	hin
