Verse 1
Em
Um. A long time ago I was a music student
Fm
You wouldn't necessarily know that now
Em
But I was, actually
I had serious intentions
And thought I was gonna be composing
Fm
Em
for large jazz ensembles
Fm
And I studied that
Em
And I studied in Boston
Er, for a couple of years
(And you decided
to keep it all for yourself)
Hah! Did you guys hear that?
He said "And you decided to keep
it all for yourself"
Er, that's the kind of prick I
am
D
I may not be able to sing now
Em
Ok, so he's going to stop talking
now
D
So that's, that's going to be alright
Em
And it was the mid- sixties
And it was the Vietnam period
(Yow)
Is that because you were there or you weren't
there?
Like, what are we celebrating here?
Heh. Well. Anyway
Fm
I got offered a summer job
F
D
Em
I lasted, well, almost two years at,
at music school
D
Em
But, and in between the two school seasons there
C
of course there was a summer
Em
And er, um, and I got offered a job
Which I came very close to accepting
D
Em
For a minute. Er
And the job was with a guy that came back
from Vietnam
D
And he was a friend of a dorm mate of mine,
and, erm
Em
He had a plan, and his plan was to go down to Central
D
America
And spend the summer
Em
run ning guns to Cuba
Er, which he said would be a
Fm
very lucrative enterprise
Em
And for some reason he wanted me
to join him in this
I thought, wow, y'know, it beats playing in
these crappy clubs in Chelsea
D
The crappy jug band that I'm in, and, er, y'know,
Em
various other possibilities for the summer
Erm, and er, y'know,
D
Em
I was eighteen years old
And I didn't have a very well- developed sense of
D
Em
the moral implications of things like that
And, and, er, so I, I gave it some thought
Until I realised that my job would consist
of
Getting between this
guy and people that were trying to kill him
And I felt under- qualified for that job
Fm
Em
And, er, and I - I - I felt further that anybody
who felt I was qualified for that job
Was someone I did not want to be near
when that stuff started happening
So, so, er, I declined
And here we are
Here we all are
Em
As a result, y'know
Choices, Hmm?
Em
I tell you this story because, er
D
The, the person in question plays
a very tiny part
Em
In the song I'm about to do
¿Qué te pareció la canción?
