 intro
   Wild guitars came from forests; plainly, woodsmen share a  calling. Flailing (  )
 form a chorus:  harmonies of arbors  falling  . And they play,  say Con-
 way,  and ring, my  girl sing,  and plead and beg and  plead and beg and
 and beg and  plead and beg to be  heard and had and  carried  on. Without
 us, song is  nothing.
 My wife turned  crazy on me one day; started chopping up the  bed. Looked past
 with gaping eyes.  Left me too hard to be  scared.  She left, but  circled
 yard. All night she haunted the  home. The kids went  crazy, life was hard.
 sounds of rings:  boom. And they play,  say Con-  way,  and ring, my
 girl sing,  and plead and beg and  plead and beg and plead and beg and  plead
  beg to be  heard and had and  carried  on. Without  us, song is  nothing.
 (solo)
 I taught the  children to play piano, singing with sweet  voice. Music  kept
 mom away. Melody fostered  choice,  and choice brought  us these days we have,
 choice brought us to our  rejoicing. Always  choose the noise of music.
 end the day  in sing-  ing! And they  play, dont  they?  And ring, and
 everthing!  And bounce and boil and  bounce and boil and bounce and boil, and
 and beg to be  heard and had and  carried  on. Without  us, song is  nothing.
