The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit.
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide open.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
final flourish: G+G C majorC G+G G+G C majorC G.
