Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
It's a really easy song and lots of fun for two people.
I've put Mama Bear's part in parathesis.
While Mama Bear plays a C and pulls off the fourth string rhythmically, Madisen plays this throughout the song
It's worth nothing in their live versions Madisen will play the first four notes back and forth to Mama Bear

[Verse]
C
I bought her some flowers (she don't need your petals)

A car that I gave her (it's just a piece of metal)

I stole diamonds for her (she don't want a rebel)
Am F
Why is it so complicated?
[Verse]
C
I'm fishing for her love (she don't need your fishing)

And hoping for her love (better save your wishing)

She's a thinker (why don't you listen)

Why is it so complicated?

I’ll buy her vacation (she hates transportation)

How about the circus (the clowns make her nervous)

Will she go to theme parks (boy they’re so far)

Well can I retrieve her (it don’t look appealing)

Why is it so complicated
