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

Found that nobody listened
G
A
the pictures he portrayed
D

Moving and grooving

So he picked up his twelfth string
G
A
and slowed the pace down,
D
A
But everybody shuffled
A
D
A
As he told tales of heartbreak
A
D
They rickled and moved
A
G
to the chords of his song
A
G
A
So he just shrugged his shoulders
G
A
and strummed on his strings
A
G
A
with his words that had wings
D
A
He ignored all his audience
G
D

To see that nobody listened

But everybody danced

His fame reached the ears
A
G
A
of a New York producer
D
A
who leapt on a jumbo
G
A
and signed him that day.
D
He would make him the king
A
G
A
of the discotheque fever,
D
cause the kid really rocked,
A
G
A
really knew how to play.
G
A
G
He deserted his lyrics for trivial licks
A

and for funky arrangements
A
D

When they rushed out his records,
G
D
G
But everybody listened
D
A
and nobody danced
D
G
A
Nobody danced to the rhythms he played
D
G
Everybody noticed
A
the pictures he portrayed
D
G
Never moving, never grooving,
D
G
But nobody danced
D
G
A
to the music he made
D
