Importante cantante y compositor de bonitas melodías folk, su primer sencillo “Taxi” logró un éxito inminente, pero sus primeros dos álbumes, “Head And Trais” y “Sniper And Other Love Songs” no disfrutarían del mismo éxito. Su tercer trabajo, “Short Stories”, permaneció en las listas unos seis meses gracias al sencillo “W.O.L.D.”. El disco “Verities And Balderdash” fue disco de oro y Chapin también consigue una nominación de la Academia por su documental “Legendary Champions” en 1968.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Enjoy the following Harry Chapin tune.
Tangled Up Puppet Harry Chapin (klr) capo 5th fret
I?m a [D] tangle up [Dmaj7] puppet [Bm] spinning round in [A7] knots And the [A] more I see of what [A7] used to be, the [A] less of you I [D] got
[D] There was a time that you [Dmaj7] curled up in my [Bm] lap like a [D] child You?d [G] cling to me [G/f#] smiling your [G/e] eyes wide and [G] wild Now you [Bm] slip through my [D] arms, wave a [Bm] passing [G/e] hello [A] Twist away , and [A7] toss a kiss, [A] laughing as you [D] go
[D] You used to say, ?Read me a [Dmaj7] story, and [Bm] sing me songs of [D] love? For [G] you were Princess [G/f#] Paradise, on the [G/e] wings of a [G] dove Now I [Bm] chase you and [D] tease you trying to [Bm] remake you my [G/E] own But [A] you just turn [A7] away and say, [A] ?Please leave me [D] alone.? [A]
And I?m a [D] tangled up [Dmaj7] puppet, all [Bm] hanging in your [A7] strings I?m a [A] butterfly in a [A7] spider?s web, [A] fluttering my [D] wings And the [D] more that I keep [Dmaj7] dancing, and [Bm] spinning ?round in [A7] knots The [A] more I see what [A7] used to be and the [A] less of you I [D] got
You are a [D] drawer full of [Dmaj7] make-up and [Bm] rinses and [D] things You keep [G] changing your [G/f#] moods like your [G/e] earrings and [G] rings But [Bm] tonight while we played [D] tag for five [Bm] minutes in the [G/E] yard Well, [A] just for a [A7] moment, I [A] caught you off [D] guard [A]
And I?m a [D] tangled up [Dmaj7] puppet all [Bm] hanging in your [A7] strings; I?m a [A] butterfly in a [A7] spider?s web, [A] fluttering my [D] wings And the [D] more that I keep [Dmaj7] dancing, and [Bm] spinning ?round in [A7] knots, The [A] more I see what [A7] used to be and the [A] less of you I [D] got
But for [Bm] now you write your [G] secret poems in a [A] room just for your [Bm] dreams You [G] don?t find time to [Bm] talk to me [A] about the things you mean. . . What I [G] mean is
I have [D] watched you takes [Dmaj7] shape from a [Bm] jumble of [D] parts And [G] find the grace and [G/f#] form of a [G/e] fine work of [G] art Hey, [Bm] you, my brand new [D] woman, newly [Bm] come into your [G/E] own, [A] Don?t you know that [A7] you don?t need to [A] grow up all [D] alone
