Play Guitar

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You may drive around in your town

Ina brand new shiny car

Your face in the wind your haircut's in

And your friends think you're bizarre

you may find a cushy job and I hope that you go far

But if you really want to taste some cool success

You better learn to play guitar

CHORUS:

Play guitar--play guitar (3X)

You got your eye on the cheerleader queen

you're walkin' her home from school

You know that she's only seventeen

She's gonna make you a fool

You know you can't touch this stuff

Without money or a brand new car

Let me give you some good advice young man

You better learn to play guitar

CHORUS

All women around the world want a phony rock star

Who plays guitar

You can pump your iron and shine your shoes

And wear your hair just right

You go down out on cruisin' street

'Cause you want to score tonight

Ra da ra da ra da

And you really want to show your scars

Forget all about that macho shit

And learn how to play guitar

CHORUS
