Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Story of an Artist Oleh Daniel Johnston

One of my favorites from Mr. Johnston, this sounds good if you strum the chord where its
and let it ring to the next chord.

Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old

Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so

bold

Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”

“Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so o

dd?

We don’t really like what you do.
We don’t think anyone ever will.

It’s a problem that you have,
And this problem’s made you i

ll.”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story

Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so

bold

The artist walks alone
Someone said behind his back,

“He’s got gall to call himself that!
He doesn’t even know where he’s

at!”

The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun

He does this all his waking hours
But is it really so

wrong?

They sit in front of their TV
Saying, “Hey! This is fun!”

And they laugh at the artist
Saying, “He doesn’t know how to have

fun.”

The best things in life are truly free
Singing birds and laughing bees

“You’ve got me wrong,” says he.
“The sun don’t shine in your

TV”

Others just like to watch the

world.
