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