Power Chord

I want to play a power chord

On my brand new guitar.

But when I take the pick and strum

The sound won’t go too far.

What happened to my power chord?

It’s s’posed to scream and wail!

But when I pick up my guitar,

It’s just an epic fail!

Why can’t I rock my power chord

And set this song on fire?

And what’s this word “electric” mean?

And what’s this dangling wire?
