When Harpo Played His Harp chords by Jonathan Richman

Chords with lyrics

The album version starts on an E MajorE chord. This is just easier for me to sing.

   G+G         C majorC       G+G
When Harpo played his harp it was a mystery
G+G         E minorEm         C majorC   D MajorD
All the laughing stopped back to the balcony
C majorC
Chico, Chico, sure to please
E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC     G+G
Now let's watch him shoot the keys
   C majorC          E minorEm       D MajorD
When Harpo would play his harp, all was still


   G+G        C majorC       G+G
When Harpo played his harp it was a dream it was
G+G             E minorEm       C majorC    D MajorD
Well, if someone else can do it how come nobody does?
C majorC
Groucho, Groucho, fast as light
E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
Some talk like him, but not quite
     C majorC          D MajorD       C majorC   G+G
And when Harpo would play his harp, all was still, still.

G+G   E minorEm   C majorC      D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
   G+G      E minorEm    C majorC    D MajorD
And where did you get that sound so fine?
G+G    E minorEm  C majorC    D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
C majorC        G+G
Oooh, one more time


G+G    E minorEm  C majorC      D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we're in the galaxies
  G+G       E minorEm    C majorC      D MajorD
And where did you get that sound so fine?
G+G    E minorEm  C majorC    D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
C majorC       G+G
Oooh, one more time.


     G+G          C majorC       G+G
Do you remember what he would do sometimes before he'd play?
   G+G       E minorEm        C majorC    D MajorD
He'd look up to the sky and look the angels' way
C majorC
Harpo, Harpo, when you start
E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
Tears of joy inside my heart
   C majorC        D MajorD       C majorC  G+G
When Harpo played his harp, all was still

G+G    E minorEm  C majorC      D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, this is the angels
   G+G      E minorEm    C majorC    D MajorD
And where did you get that sound so fine?
G+G    E minorEm  C majorC    D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
C majorC        G+G
Oooh, one more time


G+G    E minorEm  C majorC      D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we're in the galaxies
  G+G       E minorEm    C majorC      D MajorD
And where did you get that sound so fine?
G+G    E minorEm  C majorC    D MajorD
Harpo, Harpo, we gotta hear it
C majorC       E minorEm
Oooh, one more time.
     C majorC       G+G
