G5
I have been trying
      A5     D5            G5
To write a haiku for you
   A5            D5
Some things I just can?t do


 G5                   A5
Maybe you?re beyond
         D5           G5
Ancient asian poetry
 A5       D5
Or maybe it?s just me


 G5
I have been trying
     A5          D5        E5         A5
To get this haiku just right all night
       E5      A5      D5
For you; alright I?m through


 G5
Maybe this poem
        A5           D5            G5
Was lost in the sauce we spilled
   A5        D5
That never got refilled


 G5
I?ve never thought much
        A5      D5          G5
Of formulaic verse anyway
  A5             D5
And rhymes are not my forte


 G5
I have been trying
     A5          D5        E5         A5
To get this haiku just right all night
       E5      A5      D5
For you; alright I?m through


CHORUS:
F5          D5      G5       C5
I?m trying not to try too hard
    F5              G5          C5
But you?re hard to write down right
F5    D5         G5        C5
So I pen these tried attempts
   F5          G5      A5    D5
At haikus for you tonight


SOLO:
G5   A5   D5 (x2)


 G5
Lah dah dee diddum
      A5       D5            G5
Lah dah dee doom doo ditto
  A5          D5
Dum doo lah dee doh


 G5           (N.C.)
There, that?s sufficient
      A5       D5        E5
I wrote a haiku for you
            A5                       E5
Well I tried at least, and that?s not so bad
         A5               D5
I?m working here; can that be said for you


CHORUS:
F5          D5      G5       C5
I?m trying not to try too hard
    F5              G5          C5
But you?re hard to write down right
F5    D5         G5        C5
So I pen these tried attempts
   F5          G5      A5    D5
At haikus for you tonight


F5            D5        G5       C5
Words don?t work like Webster says
      F5      G5        C5
They trip me up all night
F5         D5        G5         C5
I?m just trying to write for you
     F5              G5          C5
But you?re hard to write down right
