note:
Chords are played in standard position (: X02220, : 320033, : 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:
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
lick
Something to make us all happy.
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
VERSE 2:
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
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.
BRIDGE:
OH..... AH.... 3x
lick
OH..... AH.... AH...
