W.O.L.D. - Harry Chapin
i tried to catch the 'feel' of the song into a single-guitar tab.
Intro: - - -
Hello Honey, it's me
What did you think
when you heard me back on the radio?
G/A G*
What did the kids say when they knew
it was their long lost daddy- o?
Em 4x
Re- member how we listened to the radio
And I said `That's the place for me'
And how I got the job as an FM Jock
the day you married me?
It was two kids and I was was into AM rock
But I just had to run a- round
It's been eight years since I left you babe
D Am thema 1
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down
Chorus:
I am the morning DJ
on W . O . L . - D
Playing all the hits for you
where- ever you may be
The bright good-morning voice
who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five
going on fif- teen
The drinking I did on my last big gig
made my voice go low
they said that they liked the younger sound
when they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
to do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way back home again,
via Boise, in Ida- ho
D Am thema 1
That's how this business goes
Chorus:
I am the morning DJ
on W . O . L . - D
Playing all the hits for you
where- ever you may be
The bright good-morning voice
who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five
going on fif- teen
Bridge:
I've been making extra money playing high school sock hops
I'm a big time guest M- C
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen what they say to me
I Got a spot on the top of my head,
just begging for a new toupee
And a tire on my gut from sitting on my butt
But they're never gonna go a- way
Sometimes I get this crazy dream
That I just drive off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles
and till say where you are
thinking that I should stop disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
if you'd take me back once more
- - -
OK Honey, I see
I guess he's better than me
Sure, Old Girl, I understand
You don't have to worry,
G* E snare|-1
I'm such a happy man
W . O . L . D, 4x
Chorus:
I am the morning DJ
on W . O . L . - D
Playing all the hits for you
where- ever you may be
The bright good-morning voice
who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five
going on fif- teen
I am the morning DJ
on W . O . L . - D
W . O . L . - D repeat ad lib et fade
