E7
Oh, have you heard the word
E7
Our friend is gonna be a star
A7
She's gonna get the chauffeur, yeah
A7
And she's gonna get the car
E7 A7
And she's gonna get the love of
E7 A7
The people at the bar
(knocks on body of guitar)
And she's gonna give birth to
E7
A baby guitar
E7
Now rumor says our good friend
E7
Has done some carrying on
A7
And rumor says in public
A7
She makes love to all her songs
E7 A7
In front of the frustration
E7 A7
Of the people at the bar
(knocks on guitar)
She's got the nerve to mess around
E7
With her guitar
E7
It was sad to see the breakdown
E7
Of the princess falling star
A7
One day when she was doing all
A7
The people at the bar
E7 A7
She did a little don't, yeah
E7 A7
And they pulled her head apart
E7 A7
And neatly tucked away inside
E7 A7
Her eyelid was the heart
E7 A7
And they all looked at one another
E7 A7
And said, "We knew it- there you are
(knocks on guitar)
A nameless, illegitimate
E7
Baby guitar"
E7
A loving, loyal friend
E7
Took the offspring as his own
A7
And according to it's birthright
A7
He built it a throne
E7 A7
And now just like his mama
E7 A7
He does the people at the bar
E7 A7
And they look at one another and say,
E7 A7
"He's gonna be a star"
(knocks on guitar)
Remembering well the mother of
E7
The baby guitar.
