Picassos Mandolin

C7

[Verse 1]
C7                                
Now Picasso said in 1910, I'm 
             F    C7
gonna paint me a mandolin
C7
It could be cubes it could be curves
C7            F          C7
I like to mix paint with nerve
C7
I load my brush and fire away

Paint me a hole in the light of day

[Chorus]
             G
Well you can play it straight or 
play it from left field
    Am                      F
You got to play it just the way you 
feel
G
Come on boys, play it again
Am                   F
Play it on Picasso's mandolin

[Verse 2]
C7
Well it's colouring books and 
drinking wine
Continues after the ad
                  F           C7
It's hard to stay between the lines
C7
There ain't no rule if you don't 
break it
                             F     
There ain't no chance if you don't 
C7
take it
C7
The damdest thing he'd ever heard

Was trying to learn a thing from a 
Mockingbird

[Chorus]
             G
Well you can play it straight or 
play it from left field
    Am                      F
You got to play it just the way you 
feel
G
Come on boys, play it again
Am                   F
Play it on Picasso's mandolin

[Verse 3]
C7
Now Picasso said before he died
                              F    
There's one more painting I'd like 
   C7
to try
C7
Well the doctor held is breathe and 
then
                 F    C7
Picasso nailed a mandolin
C7
He was born in Spain and died in 
France

He was not scared of baggy pants

[Chorus]
             G
Well you can play it straight or 
play it from left field
    Am                      F
You got to play it just the way you 
feel
G
Come on boys, play it again
Am                   F
Play it on Picasso's mandolin

[Other]
G
Play it straight or play it from 
left field
    Am                      F
You got to play it just the way you 
feel
G
Come on boys, play it again
Am                   F
Play it on Picasso's mandolin
