Studio Musician Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][D][C][Bb][Asus4][A][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I am a s[F#]tudio musicia[Bm]n
[F#m]We've never met,[G]
[D]but you know me [G]well[C]
I am the [Bm]Eng lish horn t[Am]hat played
the poignant coun[G]ter- line
Upon [Abdim]the song you h[A]eard while
[Asus4]making lo[F#]ve in some ho[Bm]tel
[E]I am a part of [A]you[D],
[A]I've nev[D]er tried for[G] fame
[F#]You'll never know my[Bm]
[F#m]name[G][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
[D]I am the[F#] strings that enter sof[Bm]tly
[F#m]Or three guitar[G]s that g[D]litter gold[G][C]
I am the [Bm]thousand trumpet [Am]lines
that were an af[G]terthought
Inten[Abdim]ded as a way[Asus4] to
[D]get a dying[F#] record sol[Bm]d[E]
I never [D]ride the road,
I never play [G]around[F#]
I play what they [Bm]set d[F#]own

[Verse 3]
[D]I'm a working musi[C]cian,
[Bm]pulling my five a [D]week[E]
[Asus4]I'm the voice through which empty
men try [Bm]to speak[D]
[G]A studio mu[D]sician [Em]blowing the chance
[Asus4]I seek

[Interlude 1]
[E][D][C][Bb][F#][A][G][F#m][D][G]
[D]

[Verse 4]
And when [F#]the woodwind
cushion [Bm]rises[D]
I start to [G]dream [D]with the
low brass [G]bed[C]
And I [Bm]reject the riffs and [Am]Hendrix
licks they've [G]paid me for
That I've [Abdim]played before
In[D]stead, they want what
[F#]I hear in my hea[Bm]d[E]
But I awake [Asus4]to horns,[D]
the drummer [G]calls to [F#]me
We're up to let[Bm]ter D[E]

[Verse 5]
[D]I'm a man of the mo[C]ment,
[Bm]pop is my stock- in- t[E]rade
[Asus4]Singles, jingles,
and demos conveniently [Bm]made[D]
[G]A studio musi[D]cian whose
[Em]music will die [Asus4]un played

[Outro 1]
