《Six String Orchestra(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Six String Orchestra (六弦乐团) (LP版) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:00] Written by：Harry Chapin,Sandy Chapin

[00:00:14] The very day I purchased it

[00:00:17] I christened my guitar

[00:00:20] As my monophonic symphony

[00:00:23] Six string orchestra

[00:00:26] In my room I'd practice late

[00:00:28] They'd leave me alone

[00:00:31] My mother said you're nothing yet

[00:00:34] To make the folks write home

[00:00:38] I'd play at all the talent nights

[00:00:41] I'd finish they'd applaud

[00:00:44] Some called it muffled laughter

[00:00:46] I just figured they were odd

[00:00:49] So I went up for an encore

[00:00:52] But they screamed they'd had enough

[00:00:55] Or maybe I just need a group

[00:00:58] To help me do my stuff

[00:01:02] And so I'd dream a bass will join me

[00:01:05] And fill the bottom in

[00:01:08] And maybe now some lead guitar

[00:01:11] So it would not sound so thin

[00:01:14] I need some drums to set the beat

[00:01:17] And help me keep in time

[00:01:20] And way back in the distance

[00:01:22] Some strings would sound so fine

[00:01:27] And we would play together

[00:01:29] Like fine musicians should

[00:01:32] And it would sound like music

[00:01:35] And the music would sound good

[00:01:38] But in real life I'm stuck with

[00:01:41] That same old formula

[00:01:44] Me and my monophonic symphony

[00:01:47] Six string

[00:01:51] Orchestra

[00:01:58] Oh I write love songs for my favorite girl

[00:02:02] And sing them soft and slow

[00:02:05] But before I get to finish

[00:02:07] She says she has to go

[00:02:10] She's nice and says excuse me

[00:02:13] I've got to find a bar

[00:02:16] I think I need refreshment

[00:02:18] For I hear you play guitar

[00:02:22] Oh I sent a demo tape I made

[00:02:26] To the record companies

[00:02:29] Two came back address unknown

[00:02:31] One came back COD

[00:02:34] Of course I got form letters

[00:02:37] All saying pleasant things

[00:02:40] Like suggesting I should find a trade

[00:02:43] Where I would not have to sing

[00:02:46] And so I'd dream a bass will join me

[00:02:50] And fill the bottom in

[00:02:53] And maybe now some lead guitar

[00:02:55] So it would not sound so thin

[00:02:58] I need some drums to set the beat

[00:03:01] And help me keep in time

[00:03:04] And way back in the distance

[00:03:07] Some strings would sound so fine

[00:03:11] And we would play together

[00:03:14] Like fine musicians should

[00:03:16] And it would sound like music

[00:03:19] And the music would sound good

[00:03:22] But in real life I'm stuck with

[00:03:25] That same old formula

[00:03:28] Me and my monophonic symphony

[00:03:31] Six string

[00:03:35] Orchestra

[00:03:37] Do it finger his

[00:03:41] Teacher harder there captain

[00:03:45] I've been taking guitar lessons

[00:03:48] But my teacher just took leave

[00:03:51] It was something about a break down

[00:03:54] Or needing a reprieve

[00:03:57] I know I found my future

[00:03:59] So I will persevere

[00:04:02] And hold onto my dream of

[00:04:05] Making music to their ears

[00:04:08] And so I'd dream a bass will join me

[00:04:12] And fill the bottom in

[00:04:15] And maybe now some lead guitar

[00:04:17] So it would not sound so thin

[00:04:20] I need some drums to set the beat

[00:04:23] And help me keep in time

[00:04:26] And way back in the distance

[00:04:29] Some strings would sound so fine

[00:04:31] I need of a help I could get

[00:04:33] And we would play together

[00:04:36] Like fine musicians should

[00:04:38] And it would sound like music

[00:04:41] And the music would sound good

[00:04:44] But in real life I'm stuck with

[00:04:47] That same old formula

[00:04:49] Me and my monophonic symphony

[00:04:53] Six string

[00:04:58] Orchestra

[00:05:11] Or some day I'm gonna be a star
