Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I come Am7fresh from the street,

D7fast on my feet, Ckinda Am7lean and Glazy;

 not much Am7meat on my bones, and a D7whole lot alone,

 and Cmore than a Am7little bit Gcrazy.

 The Dm7/Gold six string was Call I had

 to Am7keep my belly stillEm,

 and for Am7each full hour D7lesson I gave

 I got a Ccrisp ten Am7dollar billG.

Verse 2

Am7She was married for D7seven years

 to a Cconcrete Am7castle Gking.

 She said she Am7wanted to learn to D7play the guitar

 and to Chear her Am7children Gsing.

 So Dm7/GI'd show up about Conce a week

 in my Am7faded tight-legged Emjeans

 with a Am7backlog full of D7hobo stories

 and diClapidated dreams.

Chorus

 She said,G "I wanna learn a love songAm7 full of happy things."

 She said,D "I wanna learn a love song; won't you Clet me hear you sing?"

 She said, "IG wanna learn a love songAm7, I wanna hear you play."

 She said, "ID wanna learn a love song beCfore youAm7 go aGway."

(The rest of the song is played in the same pattern. VERSE 3 has the same chords as

1, VERSE 4 and VERSE 5 have the same chords as VERSE 2, and the CHORUS chords are all the same.)

Verse 3

So I tried to teach her a couple of chords

and an easy melody;

but it always turned out she'd rather listen

to my guitar and me.

I could hear her old man laughing in the den,

playing stud poker with the boys

while I sang so soft in the living room,

to scared to make much noise.

Verse 4

I came one week and the den was dark

and she met me at the door.

And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked

till I could not sing no more.

The silence kept on building,

her eyes grew much too wide;

and I could her both of our heartbeats,

but there was no place to hide.

Chorus

 She said,G "I wanna learn a love songAm7 full of happy things."

 She said,D "I wanna learn a love song; won't you Clet me hear you sing?"

 She said, "IG wanna learn a love songAm7, I wanna hear you play."

 She said, "ID wanna learn a love song beCfore youAm7 go aGway."

Verse 5

Well, I guess you know what happened,

God, I never been so clean.

Yes, I feel like I'm working in a Hollywood movie

or living out a good bad dream.

And all them pinup girls in that tinsel world

never touched me like she can;

it took another man's wife in the real world life

to make this boy a man.

Chorus

 She said,G "I wanna learn a love songAm7 full of happy things."

 She said,D "I wanna learn a love song; won't you Clet me hear you sing?"

 She said, "IG wanna learn a love songAm7, I wanna hear you play."

 She said, "ID wanna learn a love song beCfore youAm7 go aGway."
