People ask me, brother,
Cm

D
It's sounding great,
C#
Cm
Gm
but it's a little late for you to be a star.

Cm
cause you have no self esteem.
D
But surely it's the time in life to
C#
Cm
Gm
give up childish dreams
I played
Columbus stockade blues and
Cm
thought for a little while
Then picked

From a hard day's night
I play guitar
Gm
Cm
For reasons too tough to explain
D
Yet obvious to some of us
Cm
Gm
It keeps me calm and sane
I play guitar when I'm homesick,

I remember your profile
She dug into her purse,
Cm
Gm
Cm
passed her makeup, keys and coins
D
Said maybe a successful band
Cm
Gm
will one day let you join
I thanked her for her silver
Cm
and bid her a good day
D
I watched her grab a cab,
Cm
Gm
then I carried on my way
Cm
Then I played
Bob
Gm
Marley, his great redemption song
Cm
As if I led a big time band
F
and they all played along
Eb
Bb
Shifting to some blues, I waved like
B .B.

I speak through my guitar
D
I play to keep my sanity,
C

I don't need to be a star
