[Intro]
Am C F Dm x2
[Verse]
Am C
From my pocket came cardstock that
F Dm
Had the words inscribed
Am C
In letters golden thoughts emblazoned;
F Dm
Hear them now described:
Am C
Songs with rhyming and good timing
F Dm
Have a certain charm
Am C
That makes the brain a speeding train
F Dm
That moves the writing arm
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
You may say that they’re passé
Em Am G
And shallow in their scope,
F E7
Yet discipline will often win
Dm E7
Without the help of dope.
[Chorus]
Am C
Call it common or old fashion
F Dm
And yet what could be
Am C
More profound than how words sound when
F Dm
Made in harmony,
[Verse]
Am C
Like the brass bell’s ringing sound swells
F Dm
Sending waves afar
Am C
With force not random, but from atoms
F Dm
Lined like music bars;
Am C
Tin and copper smelted proper
F Dm
Makes the metal brass,
Am C
For each its protons has strict patterns
F Dm
And a constant mass.
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
Things with order and strong borders
Em Am G
Leave a lasting mark,
F E7
Reverberating, undulating
Dm E7
Here to ages dark,
[Chorus]
Am C
Call it common or old fashion
F Dm
And yet what could be
Am C
More profound than how words sound when
F Dm
Made in harmony,
[Solo]
Am C F Dm x2
[Chorus]
Am C
Call it common or old fashion
F Dm
And yet what could be
Am C
More profound than how words sound when
F Dm
Made in harmony,
Am C
From those ages and skin pages
F Dm
To antiquity
Am C
And forward flying past our dying
F Dm
To posterity.
[Outro]
Am G F F
