note:
Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings. There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.
[Verse 1]
A G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
D A lick
Something to make us all happy.
A G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
D A lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
[Verse 2]
A G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
D A lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.

Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,

We wouldn't have known you all these years.
