lick

e|-----------------------------| where:

note:

Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)

as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings. There is also a "tickle" of

the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a

split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I

mean.

VERSE 1:

A G

Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,

D A lick

Something to make us all happy.

A G

Do anything, take us out of this gloom,

D A lick

Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.

VERSE 2:

A G

You are the one who can make us all laugh,

D A lick

But doing that, you break out in tears.

A G

Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,

D A

We wouldn't have known you all these years.
