Chords of Fame |
| I found him by the stage last night |
| He was breathing his last breath |
| A needle full of heroin was all that he had left |
| I can see that you make music |
| 'Cause you carry your guitar |
| But god help the troubadour |
| Who tries to be a star |
| So play the chords of love my friends |
| Play the chords of pain |
| But if you want to keep your songs |
| Don’t, don’t, don’t |
| Don’t play the chords of fame |
| I’ve seen my share of hustlers |
| As they’ve tried to take the world |
| When they find their melody |
| They’re surrounded by the girls |
| But it all fades so quickly |
| Like a sunny summer day |
| Reporters ask the questions |
| They write down what you say |
| So play the chords of love my friends |
| Play the chords of pain |
| But if you want to keep your songs |
| Don’t, don’t, don’t |
| Don’t play the chords of fame |
| They’ll rob you of your innocence |
| They’ll put you up for sale |
| The more that you will find success |
| The more that you will fail |
| I’ve been around, I’ve had my share |
| And I really can’t complain |
| But I wonder who I left behind |
| The other side of fame |
| So play the chords of love my friends |
| Play the chords of pain |
| But if you want to keep your songs |
| Don’t, don’t, don’t |
| Don’t play the chords of fame |
| They’re gonna put me in the movies |
| They’re gonna make a big star outta me |
| I play the bar and I won’t need rehearsing |
| 'Cause all I gotta do is act naturally |
