I Wanna Learn A Love Song - Harry Chapin
[Verse 1]
Am D C Am G
I come fresh from the street, fast on my feet, kinda lean and lazy
Am D C Am G
Not much meat on my bones and a whole lot alone and more than a little bit crazy
Dm C Am Em
The old six string was all I had, to keep my belly still
Am D C Am G
And for each full hour lesson I gave I got a crisp ten dollar bill
[Verse 2]
Am D C Am G
You see, she was married for seven years to a concrete castle king
Am D C Am G
She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar and to hear her children sing
Dm C Am Em
So I'd show up about once a week in my faded tight legged jeans
Am D C G
With a back log full of hobo stories and dilapidated dreams
[Chorus]
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
D C
She said "I wanna learn a love song; won't you let me hear you sing?"
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."
D C Am G
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."
[Verse 3]
Am D C Am G
So I tried to teach her a couple of chords And an easy melody
Am D C Am G
But it always turned out she'd rather listen to my guitar and me
Dm C Am Em
I could hear her old man laughing in the den playing stud poker with the boys
Am D C Am G
While I sang so soft in the living room, too scared to make much noise
[Verse 4]
Am D C Am G
I came one week, the den was dark and she met me at the door
Am D C Am G
And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked till i could not sing no more
Dm C Am Em
The silence kept in building, her eyes grew much too wide
Am D C G
And I could hear both of our heart beats, but there was no place to hide

[Chorus]
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
D C G
She said "I wanna learn a love song; won't you let me hear you sing?"
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."
D C Am G
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."
[Verse 5]
Am D C Am G
I guess you know what happened, God, I never been so clean
Am D C Am G
I feel like i'm workin in a Hollywood movie or living out a good bad dream
Dm C Am Em
And all them pin up girls in that tinsle world never touched me like she can
Am D C G
It took another mans wife in the real world life to make this boy a man
[Chorus]
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
D C G
She said "I wanna learn a love song; won't you let me hear you sing?"
G Am
She said "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."
D C Am G
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."

C Am G C Am G
I guess you know I stayed...
