G               G/F#          C
 I played the clarinet since fourth grade

Am          G/F#           Em
 A long time to wait for love

      G             G/F#      C
Cause ever since Beverly Hills Cop

              Am         G/F#
The Heat Is On, I longed

            Em
For the saxophone

[Verse 2]

G              G/F#             C
 My dad's concern was that the embouchure

    Am             G/F#            Em
Was easy and might make my lips too weak

G              G/F#           C         C/B
To ever play a woodwind in an orchestra

     Am          G/F#       Em
An experience he wanted for me

[Verse 3]

      G                  G/F#              C         C/B
After three years it was time to switch to saxophone

         Am            G/F#                Em
But the band director shook his head, forget it

             G       G/F#        C    C/B
I'm up to my ears in tenors and altos

           Am           G/F#  Em
And you're solid on the clarinet

[Verse 3]

     G           G/F#          C            C/B
With tears in my eyes I looked up at my dad

    Am                 G/F#          Em
Who looked back at the band director

G              G/F#      C        C/B
Don't you have any other openings

   Am               G/F#          Em
He replied, I could use another drummer

[Bridge]

Am             C    D*
 I looked at my dad, he looked at me

Am            C   D*
 I nodded my head & he agreed

   D*   Am C    D*      Am
To trade in my clarinet

[Chorus]

          G5
To get my first drum set

                   F#5+         Em       D5
You know I couldn't even play a beat yet

                C5
But I lugged it back to my room

B5+ Made it boom crack boom

    A5
All afternoon

D5    G5
I had no regrets

    F#5+         F         Em
For trading in my clarinet

          C5             G5
To get my first drum set

          C5             G5
To get my first drum set

C5 F#5+ To get my first drum set [Bridge]

            G5
I showed up early to the band room

F#5+ Em And heard some kid land a fill into a beat

         Am                        C5
Oh how I pestered that poor drummer

F#5+ Begging him to show me repeatedly

        G5
To play sports about my feelings

F#5+ Em Being in my body not my head

            Am
Oh it still sets my heart a reeling

        C5
I would already be dead without

[Chorus]

   G5
My first drum set

          F#5+         Em       D5
I couldn't even play a beat yet

                C5
But I lugged it back to my room

B5+ Made it boom crack boom

    A5
All afternoon

D5    G5
I had no regrets

    F#5+         F         Em
For trading in my clarinet

          C5             G5
To get my first drum set

          C5             G5
To get my first drum set

          C5             F#5+ G5
To get my first drum set
