Biography:
Dirk Hamilton was born in Hobart, Indiana and raised in California. At 14 he played in a Chuck Berry/surf music band called The Regents. For a 45-rpm record they were about to make, bandleader Houston Box had written an instrumental called ‘Orangutan’ but needed a B-side so Dirk whipped out ‘Truck’ the night before the session. He says it was the first song he ever wrote and ‘it stunk’.
Dirk: “I began playing guitar and singing songs when I was 8 years old.

G//////////// D C
G D C
Pictures of you
G D C
That I drew in blue
G Bm
Hang from the wall in my room
Em Am D
and the eyes seem to taunt me
G D C
it’s the same mistake
G D C
that I always make
G Bm
come back again and again
Em Am D
like a ghost sent to haunt me
C D G
love is a fragile thing
C D Em
just like an angel wing
C D G Em Am D
and love makes the kind of things that bloom and grow
C G D C
and come and go with the spring
Harp bit over
G D C
G D C
in a tiny seed
G D C
is a secret speed
G Bm
too fast to find with your mind
Em Am D
it comes up sooooooooooo slow
G D C
and I’m so confused
G D C
and it hurts right through
G Bm
knowing we both have to quit
Em Am D
while something’s still growing
C D G
love is a precious thing
C D Em
just like an angel wing
C D G Em
hope is in all the things
Am
that bloom and grow
C
and come and go
G D C
with the spring
harp solo over
G D C G D C G Bm Em Am D
G D C G D C G Bm Em Am D
C D G
hearing the morning sing
C D Em
and all of the wondering
C G
what makes us hurt the things
C
that bloom and grow
D
I’ll never know
C
but they bloom and grow
D
and come and go
G D C
with the spring
