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