C#m
People ask me, brother,
F#m
why do you play guitar?
G#
It's sounding great,
G
F#m
C#m
but it's a little late for you to be a star.
Perhaps you need to do it,
F#m
cause you have no self esteem.
G#
But surely it's the time in life to
G
F#m
C#m
give up childish dream s
I played
Columbus stockade blues and
F#m
thought for a little while
Then picked
G#
Jimmy
Brown, the newsboy in
F#
C#m
Calypso style
Why do I do this thing that I do?
F#m
Seems right big thing to ask
Like
G#
Sisyphus going up that hill it
G
F#m
C#m
clearly is my task
F#m
C#m
Sliding to a minor 9th with clarity and grace
F#m
I stopped my show just for a moment
G#
Looked a lady in the face
C#m
Wanting to impress her
F#m
And give her a little fright
G#
I quickly hit the opening chord
F#
F#m
C#m
F#m
C#m
Bm
From a hard day's night
I play guitar
C#m
F#m
For reasons too tough to explain
G#
Yet obvious to some of us
F#m
C#m
It keeps me calm and sane
I play guitar when I'm homesick,
F#m
when I'm restless and in love
G#
A cold or two, a hot lick will do,
F#m
C#m
so push don't come to shove
A

C#m
I play gui tar when I am blue

F#m
And came out with a smile
G#
I think I've heard you play before
G
F#
C#m
I remember your profile
She dug into her purse,
F#m
C#m
F#m
passed her makeup, keys and coins
G#
Said may be a successful band
F#m
C#m
will one day let you join
I thanked her for her silver
F#m
and bid her a good day
G#
I watched her grab a cab,
F#m
C#m
then I carried on my way
F#m
Then I played
Bob
C#m
Marley, his great redemption song
F#m
As if I led a big time band
B
and they all played along
A
E
Shifting to some blues, I waved like
B .B.
King
F#m
His three o 'clock in the morning tune,
C#m
that's a soulful song to sing
A
G#
C#m
That's a soulful song to sing
Threw in
Malaguena, like
F#m
Segovia on speed
G#
Playing fast and silly when
G#m
G#
C#m
there really was no need
Yes, I'm safe and warm now,
F#m
it's just me and my guitar
G#
I'm playing for my sanity,
G
