[02:05.00]If you wanna get in trouble let me tell you how to do it
[02:05.00]Get yourself a guitar and then you're right into it
[02:05.00]You play all day and you play all night
[02:05.00]People say you'll never learn to play the thing right
[02:05.00]Always messing about, groaning at you
[02:05.00]Moaning, won't let you practise
[02:05.00]So I bought meself a guitar about a year ago
[02:05.00]The man said I could learn it in a week or so
[02:05.00]Gave me a little book, pick or two
[02:05.00]Said, Here y'are mate, it's up to you
[02:05.00]Dirty rotter, cost me ten nicker, all the loot I had
[02:05.00]Good guitar, though, called it a pluckit
[02:05.00]Anyway, spent me dough
[02:05.00]And I couldn't let it all go to waste, you know
[02:05.00]So I took the book, guitar and all
[02:05.00]And I went back home where the trees are tall
[02:05.00]Down in Woodford, good place to be if you've got a guitar
[02:05.00]Pretty rotten if you ain't
[02:05.00]Well, for weeks and weeks I worked hard
[02:05.00]And I tried to learn a few main chords
[02:05.00]The book says they're easy as ABC
[02:05.00]Cor, my fingers is killing me, got sore on the ends
[02:05.00]Couldn't hold the strings down
[02:05.00]Wanted to pack up, cor, I felt rough
[02:05.00]Anyway, kept on playing with all me might
[02:05.00]I could see Mum's hair was turning white
[02:05.00]And her face was lined with discontent
[02:05.00]She said her patience was pretty near spent
[02:05.00]She was nervous, ears ringing, wanted to scream
[02:05.00]You know, couldn't get no relief
[02:05.00]So sister, anyway, she took it worst of all
[02:05.00]'Cause she got married the following fall
[02:05.00]She said For love but I got me doubts
[02:05.00]I think the guitar chased her out
[02:05.00]She's a game girl, though
[02:05.00]Just couldn't take it, you know, limit to everything
[02:05.00]Dad, he took it a different way
[02:05.00]He said, you can turn your Mum's hair grey
[02:05.00]Drive your sister away from home
[02:05.00]But you or me boy's gonna start to roam
[02:05.00]And I ain't going, never intend to
[02:05.00]You figure it out, so I did, fast, you know
[02:05.00]Anyway, next day had me clothes all packed
[02:05.00]And I slung me guitar across me back
[02:05.00]Caught meself a great long train
[02:05.00]Searched the world for me share of fame
[02:05.00]Ain't found none, just hardships, messing about
