Six String Orchestra

    D                        
The very day I purchased it I 
 Em
christened my guitar

      A                            
As my monophonic symphony six 
           D
string orchestra

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

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


    F#m                            
I'd play at all the talent nights, 
    Em
I'd finish, they'd applaud

     Bm                F#m        
      E
A
Some called in muffled laughter, I 
just figured they were awed

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

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


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

     G               D            
And maybe now some lead guitar so 
     E                 A
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
And we'd all play together like 
                  D7
fine musicians should

    G                   D         
And it would sound like music and 
     E                A
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

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

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

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

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

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

Bm              F#m              
Two came back address unknown, 
   E            A
one came back C.O.D.

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

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


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

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

        A                          
It was something about a breakdown 
                   D
or needing a reprieve

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

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