_ _ So I started playing the guitar when I was eight my _ _ _ mom took me to a guitar school in Hempstead, New York
_ [E]
But I only played the ukulele _ _
So _ when they gave me a guitar with six strings, I said what the hell am I gonna do with these two extra strings?
So I ripped them off the guitar and I started playing
[C] four-string guitar
_ And the next week my mom went back and they asked the teacher.
How's he doing?
The teacher says I don't think so
_ So they threw me out _
Now my mother said well, you got kicked out of another school.
I'm gonna enter you in a contest in Long Island
