Well [D] I could get the show on from [A] Altoona to [D] Atlanta.
[B]
Backing up the [E] front man, I'm the second [A] banana.
I'll listen while you moan about your life.

And I'm a [A] pretty good technician.
When your preamp tube's getting noisy, your constructive criticism,

But I'll perform with great precision to provide sustained employment.
