Humbucker

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

A relyric of "Heartbreaker" by Grand Funk Railroad, music and lyrics by Mark Farner.

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.

VERSE 1

When Pete Fountain played a song,

I thought of New Orleans, and

Not one pickup was on dis-play.

VERSE 2 - Inserted, structure same as verse 1.

Then Pete Frampton came along,

Broke free from Humble Pie's band.

His Les Paul unique to this day.

PRE-CHORUS

Three humbuckers employed.

In the Frampton Comes Alive show.

Guitarists should a-void,

Tone thin as ban-jo-oh-oh-oh-oh-nooooo.

CHORUS

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Kills my sustain.

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Why, Peter? Why?

VERSE 3

Six magnet rows constrain,

Why not use P-90's.

Get more sustain.

For solos through Leslies.    [Note: Here's Peter's prime example]

CHORUS

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Kills my sustain.

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Why, Peter? Why?

CHORUS

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Kills my sustain.

Humbucker.

String strangler.

Humbucker.

Why, Peter? Why?

The End
