note:
    Chords are played in standard position ( A5 : X02220, G5 : 320033, D5 : XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings.  There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it D4 for a
split second) during the verses.  Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.

VERSE 1:

A5                 G5
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,

D5                    A5      lick
Something to make us all happy.

A5                 G5
Do anything, take us out of this gloom ,

       D5                    A5       lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.


VERSE 2:

A5                  G5
You are the one who can make us all laugh,

    D5                         A5      lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.

A5                         G5
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,

   D5                             A5
We wouldn't have known you all these years.
