Walter Martin - Hey Matt

      [Intro]
C C C G

[Verse 1: Walter]
C
Hey Matt, hey Matt, here's the thing
           F                      G
You know I love writing songs but I can't sing
F                      G
Need a little advice or something
F                           G                    C
Just a couple of pointers so I gave you, Matt, a ring

[Chorus 1]
  G                        Am
I don't want to waste your time
                       F                 C
I'm sure you're on the road, driving all night
    G                        Am
But Matt, I could use some advice
                    F          C
Cause I've been off key all my life
     G                 F                                 G
It's time I learned to sing, that's why I'm giving you a ring

[Verse 2: Matt]
C
Hey Walt, hey Walt, here's the deal
       F                   G
If you sing too high, it's got no appeal
       F                G
If you sing too low, it just don't sound real
   F                     G                  C
So close your eyes, Walt, and sing what you feel

[Bridge 1: Walter & Matt]
C
You know Walt, I've got a little exercise we could try, repeat after me
C
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
F       C
oh, oh, oh, oh, 
F       C    
oh, oh, oh, oh, 
G
oh, oh - Okay, that's pretty good, let's try 'ah'
C
Ah, ah, ah, ah, 
F       C    
ah, ah, ah, ah, 
F       C    
ah, ah, ah, ah, 
G
ah, ah

[Chorus 2: Walter & Matt]
    G                     Am
And Walt don't waste your time,
              F               C 
singing about love and lonely nights
      G                    Am
Cause no one's gonna pay a dime 
            F                C  
to stand in line to hear you whine
    G                    F
You gotta sing something new
                       G
Just try to keep it in tune - Lord knows that's all I do

[Verse 3: Walter]
    C
Hey Matt, I guess that's all
         F                       G
You know I really appreciate you taking my call
F                          G
For helping me out with my singing and all
F                                G
You know Matt, you've got a very special voice
  F                                    G
I admit, for this song, you weren't my first choice
                 F                  G
You see, Matt, I tried to get Randy Newman
      F                       G
Randy Newman never actually responded
              F                            G           C
So thanks for stepping in, Matt, it really means a lot

[Bridge 2: Walter & *Matt* - spoken over C]
Thanks, Matt
*No problem, Walt, you really ask Randy Newman to sing in the song?*
Yeah, I did actually
*That would have been awesome*
Yeah, I know
*Why didn't he do it?*
I don't really know, I'm thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too flashy or something
I don't know, or maybe he's not into hand-claps, you know
*Yeah, alright let's keep practicing*
Alright

[Outro: Walter & Matt]
C
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
F       C
oh, oh, oh, oh, 
F       C    
oh, oh, oh, oh, 
G
oh, - My fault, Walt, went too high, down
C
Ah, ah, ah, ah, 
F       C    
ah, ah, ah, ah, 
F       C    
ah, ah, ah, ah, 
G
ah, ah
