This song came to me in a dream (in the dream, it was a classic R&B tune). Therefore: don't laugh at me, laugh at the song-fairies. (It might actually be a song I heard once and I just don't recognize it... but the only way to find out is to record it so a zillion other people can hear it.)

It's kind of like a 1-4-5 blues except it skips the 4 and goes straight to 5. Go figure.

Needs a female vocal with the energy of Aretha Franklin but maybe a little huskier.

: My mama asked
: Who I wanna be
: And I said Mama,
: Can't you see
: ''I wannna be''
: ''a guitar man.''

: Well my papa said
: "No daughter o' mine
: Gonna do anything
: Of that kind!:
: ''I wanna be''
: ''a guitar man.''

: I took my money
: To the guitar store
: But the sign said "honey,
: we are closed for sure"
: ''I wanna be''
: ''a guitar man.''

: Went to the bar
: To play my licks
: Barman said "what's a girl like you
: "doin' in a place like this?"
: ''I wanna be''
: ''a guitar man.''

Needs more verses. There should be a bridge that goes something like D-D-D-D-D-D-Eb-C... the pattern seems to want to be broken up with completely different bits every now and then. And then the climax will be a guitar solo that stays in one key longer than expected.
