"Guitar" AKA: "If I Could Play Guitar, It'd Be a Miracle Lyrics Written By:  Al & Diane Schnier Lyrics Transcribed By: Pete Costello & Adam Way Debut: January 19, 1996 Official recording(s) (if any): none

Rob:
Here comes a big one walking down the avenue
He caught a smile then he was on his way
Here comes a big one strolling down the avenue
thought a while then he was on his way

If I could play guitar, it'd be a miracle
If I could get that far, it'd be a miracle
If I could play guitar, it'd be a miracle
If I could get that far

Chuck:
Here comes a little one walking down the avenue
She's not real big but she's got a big heart
She has a little fun playing the piano
She writes the songs that can break your heart

If I could write a song, it'd be a miracle
If I could last that long, it'd be a miracle
If I could write a song, it'd be a miracle
If I could last that long

Up and down the back roads
standing by a lamp post
Staring at the moonlight
Waiting for the day bright
Open up the big door,
Wondering what I'm there for
Contemplating freedom
My heart, my heart (Repeats 5x)
My heart

Al:
Here come the two of them walking down the avenue
They're two alone, but they share the same heart
It's kind of new to them walking down the avenue
Contemplating freedom, aahhhh

If I could we could sing a song, it'd be a miracle
We could bring along a little miracle
If we could sing a song, it'd be a miracle
We could bring along...

(Repeat)

When Guitar was played in the early years, Rob, Chuck, & Al each took a verse, as listed above. These days, on the rare occassion it makes an appearance, Al sings all of the verses. Lately Guitar is only found at Al & the Transamericans shows.
