If I start with a guitar
          A7A7
Even though I don’t play well
    DmDm          Bb majorBb         FF
And be still until the melody claims what’s on my heart
           A7A7
Then it won’t have to stay there
  DmDm
And soon I can set it free

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb          FF
If I hold this in my hands

And rock back and forth
    DmDm
Could I soon play a song to sing
Bb majorBb              FF
To air to the millions of other

Will mine lift up a spirit at all

If you hear it
