[D]
[F] That unassuming [E] guy there strumming his guitar [Gb] in this Harvard Hall, that's no average student.
[F]
[Bb] [C] And that's no average [F] song.
[F] [Bb] That student is Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the band Weezer.
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] And that song is Beverly Hills, a [G] chart-topping, Grammy-nominated hit.
[Bb] [C]
[Bb] [F] [G] Six months ago, after completing an 80-city tour in support of his latest platinum album,
Rivers Cuomo traded in [Fm] pop hooks for books and five-star hotels for a 14 by 9 dorm room.
At first I [Ab] was a little nervous about living in the dorms because [Bb] I just thought it would
be strange because A, [G] I'm a celebrity and B, I'm [Db] old.
Cuomo initially enrolled at Harvard in 1995 [Gb] after the release of Weezer's first multi [B]-platinum
He [Db] thought he was, quote, wasting his brain.
[B]
[Gb] He's been attending off and on for [B] 11 years now between [Db] records and tours.
He acts like [A] any other student, he's an incredible, humble guy.
[B] It's pretty cool [Db] to live with a legend on [Ab] your campus.
[Ebm] Rivers Cuomo is not your standard issue rock [Db] legend.
[B] His songs are often about being lonely [Db] or shy [Gb] and he's admitted to having bad stage
right both on stage and at school.
[Ab] It's just as terrifying to give an oral presentation to 15 smart [A] kids [Bb] as it is to sing on Letterman.
[Em] I think even more so.
[Dbm] He also took a public vow of celibacy out of devotion to Indian meditation, but he's
a little embarrassed to talk about it.
At one point in our interview, Cuomo accidentally knocked out one of our lights with his foot.
Oops, I'm sorry.
And then when we asked him about the whole celibacy thing, he had a ready response.
In a half a year, she'll still stop.
