[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]very day I purchased it
I [Em]christened my guitar
As [A]my monophonic symphony
Six string orches[D]tra
In my room I'd practice late
They'd [Em]leave [Bm]me alone
My [A]mother said, "You're nothing yet
To make the folks write [D]home"[A]
[D]I'd

[Verse 2]
play at all the talent nights
[A]I'd [E]finish, [Em]they'd applaud
Some [Bm]called it muffled [D]laughter
I [A]just [E]figured they [A]were odd
So I [D]went up for an encore
But they [Em]screamed they'd had enough
Or [A]maybe I just need a group
To help me do my stuff
[D]

[Verse 3]
And so I'd [G]dream [D]a bass w[G]ill join m[D]e
And fill the bottom in
And [G]maybe now some lead [D]guitar
So it [Em]would not sound so [A]thin
I [G]need some drums to set the beat
And [D]help me keep in [Bm]time
And [Em]way back in the dist[A]ance
Some [G]strings would [A]sound so fine
[D]

[Verse 4]
And [G]we would play together
Like [D]fine musicians should
And [G]it would sound like [D]mu sic
And the mu[Em]sic [E]would [A]sound good
But [G]in real life I'm stuck with
That [D]same old for[F#m]mula
[Bm]Me and my mo[Em]no
[A]phonic symphony
[Em]Six [A]string o[D]rchestra

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Oh, I write [D]love songs for my favorite girl
And [Em]sing them soft and slow
But be[A]fore I get to finish
She says she has to [D]go
She's nice and says "Excuse me
I've [Em]got to find a bar
I [A]think I need refreshment
For I hear [D]you [A]play [D]guitar"

[Verse 6]
Oh I [D]sent a [C#]de mo tape I made
[F#]To the r[Em]ecord companies
[Bm]Two came back address un[D]known
One [A]came back C.O.D
Of [D]course I got form letters
All [Em]say ing pleasant things
Like sug[A]gesting I should find a trade
Where I would [D]not have [A]to sing
[D]

[Verse 7]
And [A]so I'd [G]dream a bass will join me
And [D]fill the bottom in
And [G]maybe now some lead gui[D]tar
So it [Em]would not sound so [A]thin
I [G]need some drums to set the beat
[D]And help me keep [F#]in ti[Bm]me
And [Em]way back in the dist[A]ance
Some [G]strings would [A]sound so fine
[D]

[Verse 8]
And [G]we would play together
Like [D]fine musicians should
And [G]it would sound like [D]music
And the mu[Em]sic [E]would [A]sound good
But [G]in real life I'm stuck with
That [D]same old [F#]formu[Bm]la
Me and [Em]my monoph[A]onic symphony
[Em]Six [A]string o[Eb]rche[D]stra

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 9]
I've been taking [D]guitar lessons
But my [Em]teacher [Bm]just took leave
[Em]It was s[A]omething about a break down
Or needing a re[D]prieve[Eb]
[D]I know I found my future
[Bm]So I[Em] will pers[Bm]evere
[Em]And [A]hold onto my dream of
Making mu[D]sic to their ears

[Verse 10]
And so I'd [G]dream a bass will join me
[D]And fill the bottom in
And [G]maybe now some lead gui[D]tar
So it [Em]would not sound so [A]thin
I [G]need some drums to set the beat
And [D]help me keep [F#]in ti[Bm]me
And [Em]way back in the dist[A]ance
Some [G]strings would [A]sound so fine
[D]

[Verse 11]
And [G]we would play together
Like [D]fine musicians should
And [G]it would sound like [D]music
And [Em]the mu[E]sic would [A]sound good
But [G]in real life I'm stuck with
That [D]same old [F#]formu[Bm]la
Me and [Em]my monoph[A]onic symphony
[Em]Six [D]string o[A]rc[Eb]hestr[D]a

[Interlude 3]
[D]

[Verse 12]
Oh [D]finger [D]tip

[Outro 1]
Oh some day, I'm gonna be a star
