The Method Actor chords by The Avett Brothers

Capo 4th fret



C                              G
I am a star in a scene full of actors
C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout
G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger
                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out


G                C                 G
When I was a boy I ran through the wilderness
                   D7             G
Dodging the photos and wooing the crowd
                  C                 G
I'd carry a rifle and save drownin' puppies
                  D7                 G
And ride off with some lovely lady I found

C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors
C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout
G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger
                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out


G                    C                G
I stepped into frame at the edge of a river
                     D7         G
A thousand feet deep and a mile across
                 C                   G
I gave all I had and finally made it over
                           D7               G
Found out when I got there the cameras were off


C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors
C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout
G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger
                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out


G          D7                            G
Take these bright white lights out of my vision
         D7                          Em     Am
Tell the onlookers "put your cameras away"
C                              D7
No heavy gold trophies will be given
C                                         D7
And there is no script for what I want to say



G                   C           G
Now I am an old man longing for peace
                     D7               G
A place to sit quiet where no one can tell
                 C             G
That I ever read one line on a stage
                  D7        G
And the only role I play is myself



C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors
C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout
G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger
                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out
