Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)

the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.

VERSE 1:

A G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,

D A lick
Something to make us all happy.

A G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,

D A lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.


VERSE 2:

A G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,

D A lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.

Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,

We wouldn't have known you all these years.
