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