Bossa In The Key Of Guitar Lyrics

You live in a certain music you live in a certain charm

You hear new possibilities that surprise and disarm

You wait as the rhythm molds to your soul

And you want to dance your fingers over fretboard and soundhole

It's simply a box of wood with shapely curving grace

Softwood over hard all internally braced

The fingers play a neck that's long even for a giraffe

Yet on any string they land they'll find a C, a D, an E and an F

There are Gibsons and there're Taylors and there's Martins and there's Guilds

And there are some wonderful small makers who will customize your build

You live in a certain music you live in a certain charm

You hear new possibilities that surprise and disarm

You listen for the resonance that makes your insides whole

And you want to dance your fingers to the rhythms of your soul
