_ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ Wait a second. _
_ I started counting once I stopped playing.
[Dm]
[A] Why does something feel [F] wrong? _ _ _ _
That's it.
I started counting my 1 the moment [Am] I stopped playing as it makes musical [D] sense.
The end of the phrase coincides with the beginning of the new musical [A] phrase.
So natural music instinct makes [Dm] us want to count a 1 here.
_ [F] _ However, the music is published in a way that the rest bar count begins on [Am] the first empty bar,
where I [D] don't play anything.
That means I [A] should actually count 1 on the second bar of the musical 4 bar phrase. _
Damn, I nearly fell [F] for it.
_ But [G] thankfully with my high 180 IQ,
I'm [B] able to make this [D] realization while still maintaining a count.
[G] 10.
So [F] if I count 11 bars there, I must minus 1 bar, meaning I'm actually on bar [Dm] 10.
That way I won't come in 1 bar early.
_ [G] _ _ _ _

[Cm] I just [Bbm] follow my deskie because I'm in the string [Ebm] section. _
[Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Gb] Ha _ _ _ ha ha.
You think you can sit [Dbm] next to me and not [Ab] _ count?
_ The orchestra is not a child's playground.
It's a battlefield.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The conductor [C] said he'll give a cue here, [Bbm] so I don't need to count.
[G] Ha ha [Gb] ha ha.
_ [Ebm] _ _ [F] _ Oh, look at these peasants counting.
What [Ebm] a waste of effort.
Ha ha ha.

even a [A] viola solo cue written before my entry.
_ So I don't have to count.
I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music. _ _ _

_ [Db] _ Now I'm in trouble.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ I may have missed my [Db] entry,
_ but I'll [Abm] take your first [G] violins down with me.
