Chords Of Fame

	  		


  
Intro: G  D  C  G  D  C  G 

  D 
I found him by the stage last night 
       C                  G 
He was breathing his last breath 
  D 
A bottle of gin and a cigarette  
    C          G 
Was all he had left 



Well, I know that you make music  
           C             D 
'Cause you carry your guitar 
    G 
But god help the troubadour 
    Em 
Who tries to be a star 


Chorus: 
            G        D         G 
Come on and play the chords of love my friend 
         D         G 
Play the chords of fame 
                 C         G           D 
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no 
      Em                             G 
Don't play the chords of fame, oh no no 


              D 
You know I've seen my share of hustlers  
        C               G 
As they try to take the world 
    D 
And when they find their melody 
        C                 G 
They're surrounded by the girls 



But it all fades so quickly  
       C            D 
Like a sunny summer day 
  G 
Reporters ask you questions  
         Em 
And they write down what you say 


Chorus: 
                G        D         G 
So, come on and play the chords of love my friend 
         D         G 
Play the chords of fame 
                 C         G           D 
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no 
      Em                             G 
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no 


        D 
They'll rob you of your innocence 
        C              G 
They'll put you up for sale 
    D 
The more that you will find success 
    C                  G 
The more that you will fail 



I'd been around, I had my share 
      C               D 
And I really can't complain 
      G 
But I wonder who I left behind 
       Em 
On the other side of fame 


Chorus: 
                G        D         G 
Oh, come on and play the chords of love my friend 
         D         G 
Play the chords of fame 
                 C         G           D 
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no 
      Em                             G     D  C  G  D 
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no 


OUTRO:   (## fade to end ##) 
G       D    C       G   D 
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
