C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others aren't so bold
C
Everyone and friends and family
Dm
Saying Hey Get a job
Why do you only do that only
C
Why are you so odd
C
We don't really like what you do
Dm
We don't think anyone ever will
It's a problem that you have
C
And this problem's made you ill
C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others aren't so bold
C
The artist walks alone
Dm
Someone said behind his back
He's got gall to call himself that
C
He doesn't even know where he's at
C
The artist walks among the flowers
Dm
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
C
But is it really so wrong
C
They sit in front of their TV
Dm
Saying Hey This is fun
And they laugh at the artist
C
Saying He doesn't know how to have fun
C
The best things in life are truly free
Dm
Singing birds and laughing bees
You've got me wrong says he
C
The sun don't shine in your TV
C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others aren't so bold
C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others aren't so bold
C
Everyone and friends and family
Dm
Saying Hey Get a job
Why do you only do that only
C
Why are you so odd
C
We don't really like what you do
Dm
We don't think anyone ever will
It's a problem that you have
C
And this problem's made you ill
C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others just like to watch the world
