I knew a boy down in Oklahoma City
Bb
Eb
Bb
Who used to play guitar
Ab
Bb
for the enjoyment of friends
Eb
Bb
Happy little melodies,
Ab
Bb
simple inoffensives
Eb
Bb
Went round and round,
Ab
Bb
merry tunes without ends
Ab
Bb
But the words that he painted with
Ab
Bb
drew pictures in the air
Ab
Bb
Pretty patterns, lovely images
Ab
to make the world stare
Bb
Eb
Bb
But when he expected
Eb
to see friends in trance
Ab
Eb

Found that nobody listened
Eb
But everybody danced
Bb
the rhythms he played
Ab
Bb
the pictures he portrayed
Eb

Moving and grooving
Bb
and ignoring his trade

So he picked up his twelfth string
Ab
Bb
and slowed the pace down,
Eb
Bb
But everybody shuffled
Bb
Eb
Bb
As he told tales of heartbreak
Ab
and stories of loving
Bb
Eb
They rickled and moved
Bb
Ab
to the chords of his song
Bb
Ab
Bb
So he just shrugged his shoulders
Ab
Bb
and strummed on his strings
Ab
And he chanted himself
Bb
Ab
Bb
with his words that had wings
Eb
Bb
He ignored all his audience
Ab
Eb

To see that nobody listened

Eb
His fame reached the ears
Bb
Ab
Bb
of a New York producer
Eb
Bb
who leapt on a jumbo
Ab
Bb
and signed him that day.
Eb
He would make him the king
Bb
Ab
Bb
of the discotheque fever,
Eb
cause the kid really rocked,
Bb
Ab
Bb
really knew how to play.
Ab
Bb
Ab
He deserted his lyrics for trivial licks
Bb
Ab
Bb
and for funky arrangements
Ab
with gimmicky tricks.
Bb
Eb
Bb
When they rushed out his records,
Eb
it happened by chance
Ab
Eb
Ab
But everybody listened
Eb
Bb
and nobody danced
Eb
Ab
Bb
Nobody danced to the rhythms he played
Eb
Ab
Everybody noticed
Bb
the pictures he portrayed
Eb
Ab
Never moving, never grooving,
Bb
appreciating his trade
Eb
Ab
But nobody danced
Eb
Ab
Bb
to the music he made
Eb
