And to-gether we will try.
   D                A      D

And move the rolling sky.

In time to list our merry tune,

And that's why he plays so good.

Made out of solid wood.

And no ma-gician he.
     D                 A     D

 Song be-hind, you'll hear.
    D             A      D
And to the rhythm of gui-tar,

We hope you'll lend an ear.
