CHORUS
I'm writing a three-chord song
Simple and not too long
I'm writing a three-chord song
Today
I'm writing a three-chord song
Anyone can pluck along
I'm writing a three-chord song
'Cause that's all I can play
G G G G G, C C C C C
G G G G G G D
G G G G G, C C C C C
G G G G D D G
I play the violin so sweet, any tune I hear
But I can't sing with that thing pressed against my ear
So I got a guitar, but I can hardly do songs
That on the fiddle wouldn't faze me a little but my fingers stick like glue
But...
CHORUS
I could put in a bridge with no minors or ups and downs
But what good is a bridge if it just goes round and round?
I could put in another verse, but I'm already sick of the tune
And the longer this is, the worse, so I'd better stop it soon
But...
