     E                      G#m
If I learned to play the violin

      Bm                   C#
And I traded my old guitar in

           F#m
Would your parents still object

         Am
Or would I win their respect

     B
If I learned to play the violin?

        E                  G#m
I would even go and cut my hair

          Bm                              C#
Though my friends would point and say I'm square

            F#m
Girl, would your society

           Am
Still look down their nose at me

     B
If I learned to play the violin?
[Bridge]
D
 I'd give up my beat-ways

A
Take up more discreet ways

Am                             E
All you've got to do is ask me to

D                 C#7   N.C.
Whoa-oa, just ask me to
[Verse 2]
        F#                   A#m
And I'd learn to play the violin

        C#m                     D#
Turn my back on everything I've been

       G#m
I'd be like somebody new

         Bm
But, not change my love for you

     C#
If I learned to play the violin
[Interlude] F# E F# E [Bridge]
D
 I'd give up my beat-ways

A
Take up more discreet ways

Am                             E
All you've got to do is ask me to

D              C#7       N.C.
Whoa-oa, just ask me to
[Outro]
        F#                   A#m
And I'd learn to play the violin

         F#                   A#m
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin

E       F#                   A#m      E
And I'd learn to play the violin, the violin

         F#                   A#m      E  F#  A#m E F#  A#m E F#  A#m
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin, the violin
