Sold American
Glen Campbell

Intro G C D C G Em D

          C    G  D
Faded jaded fallen  cowboy star
              C    G  C
Pawn shops itchin’ for your  old guitar
               G
Where you’ve goin’  it ain’t know body knows
C               Am  G D C D
Sequins have fallin’ from your clothes


            C     G   D
Once you heard the Opry  crowds applaud
             C      G
Now you’re hangin’ out at  Fourth and Broad
    C
On the rain wet sidewalk
 G
Remembering the times
   C                Am  C D Em D G
When coffee with a friend was still a dime

           Am        D
But everythings been   sold American

The early times are finished
    C         G
And the want ad’s are all read
        Am        D
Everyone’s been  sold American
             C     G
Been dreamin’ dreams in a roll away bed


D
Writin’ down your memoirs
    C       G
On some window in the frost
D             C        G
Roulette eyes reflecting  another mornin’s loss
C             G
Wanted by the Metro  for killin’ time an pain
    C                  Am  C D Em D G
With a singin’ Brakemen screamin’ thru your veins

           Am        D
But Everythings been   sold American

The early times are finished
    C         G
And the want ad’s are all read
        Am        D
Everyone’s been  sold American
             C     G
Been dreamin’ dreams in a roll away bed


  D               C       G
You told me you were born so much  higher than life
     D
But I’ve seen the faded pictures of
   C        G
your children an your wife
      C
Now they’re fumblin’ thru your wallet
      G
And they’re tryin’ to find your name
   C                   Am C D Em D G
It’s almost like they raised the price of fame


         Am        D
Everythings been  sold American

The early times are finished
    C         G
And the want ad’s are all read
        Am        D
Everyone’s been  sold American
             C     G  C G
Been dreamin’ dreams in a roll away bed
