When Harpo Played His Harp - Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers from "Modern Lovers '88"

The album version starts on an E chord. This is just easier for me to sing.

     G (320003@1)               C (x32010@1)           GWhen (320003@1)Harpo played his harp it was a mystery

      C (x32010@1)                 Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1)When Harpo would play his harp, all was still

When Harpo played his harp it was a dream it was
G (320003@1)                       Em (022000@1)           C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)  
Well, if someone else can do it how come nobody does?
CGroucho, (x32010@1)Groucho, fast as light
Em (022000@1)      D (xx0232@1)       C (x32010@1)     G (320003@1)
Some talk like him, but not quite
          C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)        
And when Harpo would play his harp, all was still, still.
