^CI can still remember when I ^Fbought my first gu^G7itar remember^C just how good the feeling was, put it ^Fproudly in my ^G7car and my ^Cfamily listened ^C750 times to ^A7my two song reper^Dmtoire and I ^Dmtold my mam her ^Dsus4only s^Dmon was ^Fgonna b^Ge a s^Ctar

^Cbought all The Beatles' records, s^Founded just like ^G7Paul ^Cbought all the old Chuck Berries, ^F78's and ^G7all I ^Csat by my record^C7player, playing ^A7every note they ^Dmplayed I ^Dmwatched them all on ^Dsus4TV, ma^Dmking ^Fevery ^Gmove they ^Cmade

^C'71 in Soho^F when I saw Su^Gsanne I was ^Ctrying going solo with ^Fsomeone elses ^Gband she ^Ccame up to me ^C7lately and I^A7 took her by the ^Dmhand I t^Dmold her all my ^Dsus4troubl^Dmes and she^F seemed to under^Gstand

And she ^Cfollowed me through London, Through a ^F100 hotel^G7rooms Through a ^C100 recordcompanies who ^Fdidn't like my ^G7tunes And she ^Cfollowed me when ^C7finally I ^A7sold my old gui^Dmtar She ^Dmtried to help me^Dsus4 under^Dmstand I'd^F never ^Gbe....a ^Cstar
