Harry Chapin - Six String Orchestra слова песни
The very day I purchased it, I christened my guitaras my monophonic symphony,six string orchestra In my room I`d practice late, they`d leave me alone. My mother said, "You`re nothing yet, to make the folks write home."I`d play at all the talent nights,I`d finish, they`d applaud. Some called it muffled laughter,I just figured they were odd.So I went up for an encore, but they screamed they`d had enough. Or maybe I just need a group to help me do my stuff. Chorus: And so I`d dream a bass will join me,and fill the bottom in. And maybe now some lead guitarso it would not sound so thin.I need some drums to set the beatand help me keep in time.And way back in the distance,some strings would sound so fine.And we would play together,like fine musicians should,And it would sound like music,and the music would sound good.But in real life I`m stuck withthat same old formula,me and my monophonic symphony,six string orchestra.Oh, I write love songs for my favorite girland sing them soft and slow.But before I get to finish,she says she has to go.She`s nice and says "Excuse me,I`ve got to find a bar,I think I need refreshment,for I hear you play guitar."Oh I sent a demo tape I madeto the record companies.Two came back address unknown,one came back C.O.D.Of course I got form letters,all saying pleasant things.Like suggesting I should find a tradewhere I would not have to sing.ChorusAnd so I`d dream a bass will join me, and fill the bottom in.And maybe now some lead guitarso it would not sound so thin.I need some drums to set the beatand help me keep in time.And way back in the distance,some strings would sound so fine.And it would sound like music,and the music would sound good.But in real life I`m stuck withthat same old formula,me and my monophonic symphony,six string orchestra.I`ve been taking guitar lessons,but my teacher just took leave.It was something about a break down,or needing a reprieve.I know I found my future,so I will persevereand hold onto my dream ofmaking music to their ears.Chorus.
