The [A] trouble of the classicist, he looks at a tree.
[D] [A] That's all he sees, [G] he paints a tree.
[D] The [A] trouble of the classicist, he looks [G] at the sky.
He [Am] doesn't ask why, [D] he just feeds the sky.

[D] The [Am] trouble of the impressionist, he looks at a [D] log.
He does know who [A] he is, standing [G] staring at this log.
[D] And [A] surrealist's memories are too amorphous and [D] proud.
While [A] those downtown marcher painters are just alcoholic.

[D] the [A] trouble of personalities, they're too wrapped up in style.
It's too personal, [D] they're in love with their own guile.

That's the [A] trouble of the impressionist.
