While I Play

D     E         A
I cry tears of emotion
D          E         A
to spread across the USA.
D          E                   A
Ain't no sunshine, cowboy, in your pockets.
                 B
I'll make my own way,
E
while I play.
A
Baby, you forgot you're living.
                D
Someone covered up your eyes.
E                      A
In my way at least I'm giving
E                  A
what I love, am I wise?
        D         E    A
There's gonna be some confusion.
      D           E     A
And there's gonna be a day
D                 E
you'll raise your eyes
           A
and you'll look to the skies
            B
and you'll pray,
        E
while I play.

A
I am my father's son
           D
or that is what I heard.
E               A
Maybe I got it wrong.
E               A
I didn't mean a word.
E
You got my face
           A
and I'll play your ace,
E                  A
pretend I haven't heard.
        D         E    A
There's gonna be some confusion.
      D           E     A
And there's gonna be a day
D                 E
you'll raise your eyes
           A
and you'll look to the skies
            B
and you'll pray,
        E
while I play.
A                               D
I am a minstrel, that is all I want to be.
E                      A
I'll play inside your soul,
E                  A
I'll show you to yourself,
E                      A
I'll fill your head with wild emotions,
  E            A
a symphony in wealth.

        D         E    A
There's gonna be some confusion.
      D           E     A
And there's gonna be a day
D                 E
you'll raise your eyes
           A
and you'll look to the skies
            B
and you'll pray,
        E
while I play.

A                             D
I will take my leave, I gotta move on time.
E                     A
I played inside your soul,
E                A
I made you sing along.
E                     A
I will return to find out
E                 A
if the melody was wrong.

        D         E    A
There's gonna be some confusion.
      D           E     A
And there's gonna be a day
D                 E
you'll raise your eyes
           A
and you'll look to the skies
            B
and you'll pray,
        E
while I play.
