by Little Joy standard tuning, no capo A D A Mama, someday you'll be so proud of me D A You'll see me hanging in a New York gallery D A Someday I'm gonna draw from the left side of my brain D A People are gonna ask, "is it brilliant or plain?" F#m But as long as I don't know how to hang a Warhol A I keep sketching birds, that are all like her F#m Very simple and true, like you've known me to do D And if you like 'em, yeah E But if you don't, it's not bad A 'Cause I really don't care A D A Said, Papa someday I'm gonna write a symphony D A 48-piece band all dressed up like me D A I said, I'll write someday the saddest of all songs D A I'm gonna chill the marrow in their bones F#m But as long as I can't get into Carnegie Hall A I keep writing songs that are all my own F#m Very simple and dumb, like I always have done D And if you like 'em, yeah E But if you don't, too bad F#m E Bm 'Cause it's all I have // Ever since I met her, F#m E Bm I keep thinking, god, how great it is to play a guitar F#m E Bm This way I feel that she's always with me D E 'Cause every other song, underneath it's tongue A Is about our love
