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.

Enjoy the following selection.
Mister Tanner Harry Chapin (klr)
Mister [G] Tanner was a [G/f] cleaner from a [Em] town in the Mid [G/D] west And of [G] all the cleaning [G/f] shops around [Em] hed made his the [D] best But he [C] also was a [Bb] baritone who [Am7] sang while hanging [G] clothes He practiced scales while [G/f] pressing tails and [Em] sang at local [D] shows His [Em] friends and neighbors praised the voice that [D] poured out from his throat They [Em] said that he should use his gift in [D] stead of cleaning coats
[G] But [Bm] music was his life, it was [Am7] not his livelihood And it [Em] made him feel so happy and it [G/d] made him feel so [D/C] good And he [G/b] sang from his heart [C] and he [G/d] sang from his [D] soul He [G] did not know how [C] well he sang, [G] it just [C] made him [G] whole
His [G] friends kept working [G/f] on him to try [Em] music out full [G/D] time A [G] big debut and [G/f] rave reviews a [Em] great career to [D] climb [C] Finally they [Bb] got to him [Am7] he would take the fling [G] A concert agent [G/f] in New York [Em] agreed to have him [D] sing And there were [Em] plane tickets, phone calls, [D] money spent to rent the hall It [Em] took most of his savings but he [D] gladly used them all
[G] But [Bm] music was his life, it was [Am7] not his livelihood And it [Em] made him feel so happy and it [G/d] made him feel so [D/C] good And he [G/b] sang from his heart [C] and he [G/d] sang from his [D] soul He [G] did not know how [C] well he sang, [G] it just [C] made him [G] whole
The [G] evening came he [G/f] took the stage his [Em] face set in a [G/D] smile And in the [G] half filled hall the [G/f] critics sat [Em] watching on the [D] aisle But the [C] concert was a [Bb] blur to him [Am7] spatters of applause [G] He did not know how [G/f] well he sang, he [Em] only heard the [D] flaws But the [Em] critics were concise, it [D] only took four lines But [Em] no one could accuse them of [D] being overkind
(spoken) [G] Mr Martin Tanner, Baritone, of [G/f] Dayton Ohio Made his Town Hall [Eb] debut last night. He came well [G/d] prepared But unfortunately his presentation [C] was not up to contemporary Professional [Bb] standards. His voice lacks the [Abmaj7] range of tonal color Necessary to make it consistently [G] interesting [C] Full time consideration of an [Bb] other endeavor might be in [G] order [G/F] - [Em] - [G/D] - [G] - [G/F] - [Em] - [G/D]
[G] He came back home to [G/f] Dayton and was [Em] questioned by his friends [G] Then he [G] smiled and just said [G/f] nothing and he [Em] never sang [D] again [C] Excepting very late [Bb] at night when the [Am] shop was dark and [G] closed He sang softly to himself as he sorted through the [D] clothes
[G] - [Bm] Music was his life, it was not [Am7] his livelihood And it [Em] made him feel so happy, it [G] made him feel so [D] good And he [G/b] sang from his [C] heart and he [G] sang from his [D] soul And he [G] did not know how [C] well he sang [Bb] It just [Abmaj7] made him [G] whole
