Tonalité : D minor
Verse 1
Dm
People ask me, brother,
Gm
why do you play guitar?
A
It's sounding great,
Ab
Gm
Dm
but it's a little late for you to be a star.
Perhaps you need to do it,
Gm
cause you have no self esteem.
A
But surely it's the time in life to
Ab
Gm
Dm
give up childish dreams
I played
Columbus stockade blues and
Gm
thought for a little while
Then picked
A
Jimmy
Brown, the newsboy in
G
Dm
Calypso style
Why do I do this thing that I do?
Gm
Seems right big thing to ask
Like
A
Sisyphus going up that hill it
Ab
Gm
Dm
clearly is my task
Gm
Dm
Sliding to a minor 9th with clarity and grace
Gm
I stopped my show just for a moment
A
Looked a lady in the face
Dm
Wanting to impress her
Gm
And give her a little fright
A
I quickly hit the opening chord
G
Gm
Dm
Gm
Dm
Cm
From a hard day's night
I play guitar
Dm
Gm
For reasons too tough to explain
A
Yet obvious to some of us
Gm
Dm
It keeps me calm and sane
I play guitar when I'm homesick,
Gm
when I'm restless and in love
A
A cold or two, a hot lick will do,
Gm
Dm
so push don't come to shove
Bb
F
I play guitar when I am lonely
Dm
C
Dm
I play gui tar when I am blue
Bb
F
I play guitar when I am happy
Gm
Dm
And for spare change, I'll play for you
She looked at me in sympathy
Gm
And came out with a smile
A
I think I've heard you play before
Ab
G
Dm
I remember your profile
She dug into her purse,
Gm
Dm
Gm
passed her makeup, keys and coins
A
Said maybe a successful band
Gm
Dm
will one day let you join
I thanked her for her silver
Gm
and bid her a good day
A
I watched her grab a cab,
Gm
Dm
then I carried on my way
Gm
Then I played
Bob
Dm
Marley, his great redemption song
Gm
As if I led a big time band
C
and they all played along
Bb
F
Shifting to some blues, I waved like
B .B.
King
Gm
His three o 'clock in the morning tune,
Dm
that's a soulful song to sing
Bb
A
Dm
That's a soulful song to sing
Threw in
Malaguena, like
Gm
Segovia on speed
A
Playing fast and silly when
Am
A
Dm
there really was no need
Yes, I'm safe and warm now,
Gm
it's just me and my guitar
A
I'm playing for my sanity,
Ab
Gm
Dm
I don't need to be a star
Bb
F
In my mind, I always packed the place
C
Dm
Be it winter, spring or fall
Bb
F
I get to headline big -time festivals
C
And sell out
Carnegie
A
Hall
Bb
F
I play guitar when I am lonely
C
Dm
Bb
I play guitar, when I am blue I play guitar,
F
when I am happy
Gm
Dm
And for spare change, I'll play for you
My mind is quite at ease now,
Gm
I speak through my guitar
A
I play to keep my sanity,
G
Dm
I don't need to be a star
