Todd Rundgren - Bang On The Drum

ARTIST: Todd Rundgren
TITLE: Bang the Drum All Day
とってもシンプルだが、いい歌です。シンプルな曲ほどつくるのは
むつかしいようなきがします。あくまでも気がするだけです。

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy, I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got blisters on my hand because

このあたりの歌詞が好きですね。
トッドは子供の頃を振り返る歌詞が多いように思います。


Lyrics and Chords


{Refrain}
I don't want to work
I want to bang on these drums all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on these drums all day

/ D DC G GC / / / /

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy, I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got blisters on my hand because

/ A - - - / Bm - - - / A - - - / E - G - /

{Refrain}

When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot I made the teacher wanna dance

And that's why
{Refrain}

Listen to this - every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head

Because
{Refrain}
