[Verse 1]
I was living at home with my folks
As you do when you're fifteen
It was Saturday, I was staying up late
When I saw him on my TV screen
There he was playing guitar
Harmonics over Harvest Moon
Sittin' on a stool, didn't have a band
Just some dude sweepin' a broom

[Refrain]
Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it

[Verse 2]
Oh, I picked up my guitar and Epiphone
And I dropped the E to D
I learned the words, I wrote 'em down
And I tried to sing it simply
And in the living room, I gathered 'em around
Mom and dad to hear me sing
Well, they seemed to love it, they said it was great
But that's what they said about everything

[Refrain]
Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it
[Verse 3]
Oh, I bought the record, I put it on
But it didn't sound like what I'd seen
A full-on production with background singers
Oh, it had a sort of hollowed sheen
But after time I learned to love it
Yeah, the studio version grew on me
In fact, that's the version that ended up a-going on
My Best of 90s mix CD

[Bridge]
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na

[Outro]
Woah, I gave that CD to her
And she left me that summer
Woah, I gave that CD to her
And she left me that summer
