Without A Net lyrics:
"Three Chords"

Home >> CD Lyrics songlist

Sitting on the veranda. Sipping on a cup of tea.
I'm jamming with the moon when I felt a tune
Building up inside of me.

Ain't got no words yet, but you bet
They'll be easy enough to score.
You can do a lot with three chords!

So I set my mind to wander, trying to let the lyrics come.
I'm free associating, but really celebrating
Eight fingers and two thumbs.

Ain't got no words yet, but you bet
They'll be mightier than the sword.
You can do a lot with three chords!

Now I've gone and woke the wife up. She says, "What you trying to do?
You want to write a song, but it's taking all night long.
Poor boy, what you're going through!"

Ain't got no words yet. "But I'll bet
They'll be admired and you'll be adored.
You can do a lot with three chords!"

Telephone is ringing. Neighbours on the line
Saying, "That's a catchy beat, with a melody so sweet
And harmonies so fine."

"Ain't got no words yet, but we bet
You're going to win a Juno award.
You can do a lot with three chords!"

Black bear in the pear tree roars, "Give that horn a toot!
I've been here all day and while you play
I'll process all your fruit!"

"Ain't got no words yet, but I'll bet
It'll please the omnivores.
You can do a lot with three chords!"

Red wing blackbird sitting preening on the wire
Says, "That tune's got wings. Makes us want to sing.
You must be inspired!"

"Ain't got no words yet, but we bet
They'll be dancing on every floor.
You can do a lot with three chords!"

Volunteer fire department comes arunning one, two, three,
Saying, "That’s a crazy song. Makes us want to sing along.
You got it on CD?"

Ain't got no words yet, but you bet!
How much can you afford?
I can do a lot with three chords!

Ain't got no words yet, but you bet
Every option will be explored.
You can do a lot with three chords!
