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
