Introdução:
C
Listen up and I'll tell a story
Dm
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
C
Others aren't so bold
C
Everyone, and friends and family
Dm
Saying, "Hey! Get a job!"
"Why do you only do that only?
C
Why are you so odd?
C
We don't really like what you do.
Dm
We don't think anyone ever will.
It's a problem that you have,
C
And this problem's made you ill."

C
The artist walks alone
Dm
Someone said behind his back,
"He's got gall to call himself that!
C
He doesn't even know where he's at!"
C
The artist walks among the flowers
Dm
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
C
But is it really so wrong?
C
They sit in front of their TV
Dm
Saying, "Hey! This is fun!"
And they laugh at the artist
C
Saying, "He doesn't know how to have fun."
C
The best things in life are truly free
Dm
Singing birds and laughing bees
"You've got me wrong," says he.
C
"The sun don't shine in your TV"

Others just like to watch the world.
