Mr. Tanner (Edited Live Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Written by：Harry Chapin/Fred Kewley[00:00:02]

Mister Tanner was a cleaner[00:00:09]

From a town in the midwest[00:00:12]

And of all the cleaning shops around[00:00:14]

He'd made his the best[00:00:17]

But he also was a baritone[00:00:19]

Who sang while hanging clothes[00:00:21]

He practiced scales while pressing tails[00:00:23]

And sang at local shows[00:00:26]

His friends and neighbors praised the voice[00:00:29]

That poured out from his throat[00:00:32]

They said that he should uses gift[00:00:34]

Instead of cleaning coats[00:00:36]

Oh far[00:00:41]

But music was his life[00:00:44]

It was not his livelihood[00:00:46]

And it made him feel so happy[00:00:48]

And it made him feel so good[00:00:51]

And he sang from his heart[00:00:53]

And he sang from his soul[00:00:55]

He did not know how well he sang[00:00:58]

It just made him whole[00:01:01]

His friends kept working on him[00:01:11]

To try music out full time[00:01:13]

A big debut and rave reviews[00:01:16]

A great career to climb[00:01:18]

Finally they got to him[00:01:21]

He would take the plane[00:01:23]

A concert agent in New York[00:01:25]

Agreed to have him sing[00:01:28]

And there were plane tickets[00:01:31]

Phone calls money spent to rent the hall[00:01:33]

It took most of his savings[00:01:36]

But he gladly used them all[00:01:39]

Oh far[00:01:43]

But music was his life[00:01:46]

It was not his livelihood[00:01:48]

And it made him feel so happy[00:01:51]

And it made him feel so good[00:01:53]

And he sang from his heart[00:01:56]

And he sang from his soul[00:01:58]

He did not know how well he sang[00:02:00]

It just made him whole[00:02:03]

The evening came[00:02:14]

He took he stage[00:02:14]

His face set in a smile[00:02:16]

And in the half filled hall[00:02:18]

The critics sat[00:02:19]

Watching on the aisle[00:02:20]

But the concert was a blur to him[00:02:22]

Spatters of applause[00:02:25]

He did not know how well he sang[00:02:27]

He only heard them flause[00:02:29]

But the critics were concise[00:02:32]

It only took four lines[00:02:35]

But no one could accuse them[00:02:37]

Of being over kind[00:02:40]

It's botton Tanner Baritone and take no Ohio[00:02:45]

Made his town hall debut last night[00:02:48]

He came well prepared but unfortunately[00:02:50]

His presentation was not up[00:02:53]

To contemporary professional standards[00:02:54]

His voice lacks the range[00:02:57]

Of total color necessary to make it[00:02:58]

Consistently interesting[00:03:00]

Full time consideration of another endeavor[00:03:03]

Might be[00:03:08]

In order[00:03:09]

He came home to Dayton[00:03:20]

And was questioned by his friends[00:03:22]

Then he smiled and just said nothing[00:03:25]

And he never sang again[00:03:27]

Excepting very late at nights[00:03:34]

On the shop was dark and closed[00:03:36]

He sang softly to himself[00:03:43]

As he sorted through the clothes[00:03:45]

Oh far or you near[00:03:52]

Music was his life[00:03:59]

It was not[00:04:01]

His livelihood[00:04:03]

And it made him feel so happy[00:04:07]

And made him feel so good[00:04:12]

And he sang[00:04:17]

From his heart[00:04:18]

And he sang[00:04:22]

From his soul[00:04:24]

And he did not know[00:04:27]

How well he sang[00:04:29]

It just made him whole[00:04:33]
