[C] Listen up and I'll tell a story, about an artist growing [Dm] old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C] bold

[C] Everyone, and friends and family, saying, "Hey! Get a [Dm] job!"
"Why do you only do that only? Why are you so [C] odd?

[C] We don't really like what you do. We don't think anyone ever [Dm] will.
It's a problem that you have, and this problem's made you [C] ill."

[C] Listen up and I'll tell a story, about an artist growing [Dm] old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C] bold

[C] The artist walks alone, someone said behind his [Dm] back,
"He's got gall to call himself that! He doesn't even know where he's [C] at!"

[C] The artist walks among the flowers, Appreciating the [Dm] sun
He does this all his waking hours, but is it really so [C] wrong?

[C] They sit in front of their TV, saying, "Hey! This is [Dm] fun!"
And they laugh at the artist saying, "He doesn't know how to have [C] fun."

[C] The best things in life are truly free, singing birds and laughing [Dm] bees
"You've got me wrong," says he, the sun don't shine in your [C] TV"

[C] Listen up and I'll tell a story, about an artist growing [Dm] old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C] bold

[C] Listen up and I'll tell a story, about an artist growing [Dm] old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C] bold

[C] Everyone, and friends and family, saying, "Hey! Get a [Dm] job!"
"Why do you only do that only? Why are you so [C] odd?

[C] We don't really like what you do. We don't think anyone ever [Dm] will
It's a problem that you have, and this problem's made you [C] ill."

[C] Listen up and I'll tell a story, about an artist growing [Dm] old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C] bold
