Prescription to Play
© 2009 Jon Peterson. All Rights Reserved.

||:G - D - C - Am ||

G - D - C - D I'm sittin' 'round drinking when I should be playin'
G - D - C - Am Sittin' 'round thinking when I should be saying,
G - Am - C - D- Em That I love you babe, and I sure don't want to argue no more.
My guitar's on the stand, and she's calling my name,
The grain in the spruce looks like a tear stain,
She's crying for me, cause there's no one else to blame.
Am - G/B - C - intro Doctor I'm begging you, I must need a prescription .... for the pain.

***[chorus]***

G - D - C - Am So, write me a prescription to play a guitar.
G - D - C - Am It's the only medication, that has worked thus far,
G - Am - C - D- Em The lessons and the co-pay, well they cost about the same.
Am - G/B - C - intro On a cool summer evening, all I need....is a prescription to play.


Just a simple sounding six-string, with all the right chords,
I guess when I get better, I can buy more,
The insurance lady lives upstairs. she'll cover the claim -
_____ She's heard all there is to hear and she sure supports - a prescription... to play.
See this here six-string sure eases my mind,
Better than a quart of dandilion wine,
Rehab should hang a guitar on every door frame.
Oh, sister-nurse, could you write me a prescription... to play.

***[chorus]***

Now, a national health care plan to join a string band,
Most of us in America, would would accept and understand,
When you yell your Senator's name, ask him to play freebird.
_____ (move capo)
Then script me a capo, so I can change the key,
Then a pretty lady will come and sing harmony,
We'll dream of touring the land, with our little folk band,
As long as we get our prescriptions filled - with guitars in our hands.

***[chorus]***

.....On a cool summer evening, all I need ...
[TAG] On a warm winter evening, all I need....
On a green spring morning, all I need.... is you.... and a prescription to play.

No fillers! Nothing to recycle. No nasty side affects.
And, if your playing last longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention immediately.
