Soliloquy chords by 
Glen CampbellRoyal Philharmonic Orchestra

Verse 1
G
When I found out that we
were playing
D
with the fantastic Philharmonic,
there was a piece of music
Am
D
that I would like to do.
G
It's about, like, being a father.
D
Alan, if you would, please.
Am
D
Am
D
Some Carousel.
Am
D
I wonder what he'll think of me
A
Am
D
I bet he'll call me the old man
G
C
D
And I'll bet he'll think I can lick any other
Dm
Gm
C
E
Eaug
fella's father well I can
E
Am
D
And I bet that he turns out to be
Am
D
the spittin' image of his dad
G
And he'll have more common sense
C
D
than his puddin' headed
Dm
G
C
father ever had
Am
And I'll teach him to wrestle
and dive through wave
D
When we go in the mornings for a swim
Gm
His mother can teach him
the way to behave
But she won't make a sissy out of him
A
D
Not him, not my boy,
Baug
G
C
D
C
not Bill
D
G
Cause my boy Bill,
Am
D
G
D
I will see that he's named after me I will
G
C
Am
My boy Bill, he'll be tall
D
G
Am
and as tough as a tree Will Bill
D
G
And like a tree he'll grow
B
with his head held high
Em
And his feet planted firm on the ground
A
D
G
D
And you won't see nobody dare to try
G
D
A
D
Am
To force him or toss him around
G
C
No pop -bellied, baggy -eyed bully
D
G
Will force him around
I don't give a damn what he does
Just as long as he does what he likes
He can sit on his tail or work on a rail
Gm
Bb
With a hammer and hammer and spikes
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or pedal a pack on his back,
D
or just walk up and down
G
the streets of a town
Am
D
G
with a whip and a horse and a hack.
Gm
Bb
He can hold a scowl along a canal,
Bb
Gm
A
or run a cow around the corral,
Am
D
F#dim
Ab
or maybe sing an d play the guitar.
Adim
D
Of course, doing that,
you can't get too far.
G
He might be champ of the heavyweights,
or a fella that sells you glue.
Em
A
A president of the United States,
C
Am
Ab
G
that'd be all right, too
D
But he wouldn't be president
G
D
unless he wanted to be, not my Bill
G
C
Cause my boy Bill, he'll be tall
D
G
and as tough as a tree will build
D
G
And like a tree he'll grow
B
with his head held high
Em
and his feet planted firm on the ground
A
D
G
D
An d you won't see nobody dare to try
A
D
To boss him or toss him around
C
No!
G
Am
Potbellied, flabby -faced,
G
Am
baggy -eyed, pot -bellied bully
D
A
Am
Don't boss him around
And I'm damned if you'll
E
Am
marry his boss's daughter
A skinny -lipped virgin with
blood like water
D
Dm
We'll give him a peck and call it a kiss
E
Em
D
E
and look in his eyes through a lorn yet
C
But say what am I talking about?
F
D
Am
My kid ain't even been born yet,
F
but I can see him when he's 17 or so
And just starting in to go with a girl
And I can give him lots
of pointers very sound
F#
Abm
F#
On the way to get round any girl,
F
I can tell him.
Yeah, Dad can tell him.
Gm
But what if him turns out
C
Cm
C
Am
to be a girl?
D
What do you say to a girl
E
D
Am
D
that you can't say to the boy?
G
C
You can have fun with a son,
D
Dm
but you've got to be a father
Gm
C
Eaug
to a girl
E
Am
D
She mightn't be so bad at that,
Am
D
a kid with ribbons in her hair
G
C
A kind of neat and petite,
D
Dm
little tin type of her mother,
G
C
Fm
Bbsus4
Bb

My little girl, pink and bright,
Ab
Bbsus4
as peaches and cream as she
Bb
Eb
Ab
And my little girl is half again
Gm
Fm
E
as bright as girls were meant to be
Eb
Gm
Yes, dozens of boys
Ab
Gm
pursue her
Am
There's many a likely lad,
D
G
Em
Am
D
does what he can to woo her,
G
C
F
Bb
from her fateful dad.
Eb
Yes, she has a few,

pink and bright young fellas,
Ab
Bb
Of two and three
Gm
Eb
Oh, but my little girl
Ab
Bb
Gets hungry every night
Eb
Bb
Eb
Db
Ebsus4
Eb
And she comes home to me
B
Eb
I gotta get ready before she comes
Bb
Dm
Bb
Gb
Gotta make certain that she
Bbm
Won't be dragged up in slums
Gb
F
With a lot of bums like me
Bb
She's gotta be sheltered
and fed and dressed
In the best that money can buy
Eb
Bb
I never knew how to get money
Ab
Cdim
Bdim
Bb
But I'll try, my God, I'll try
F

Eb
Bb
I'll go out and make it, or steal it,
Eb

or take it, or die!

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
