Recitation

Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
And he told me i
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
t was the perfect country and western song
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
I wrote him back a letter and told him
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
It was not the percfect country and western song
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
Because he hadn't
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

said anything at all about mama
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

Or trains
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth

or gettin' drunk
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
Well he sat down
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
And after reading it I realized
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
That my friend had written the perfect country and western song
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
And I felt obliged to include it on this album the last verse goes like this here

Verse 4
Well I was [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
