Sold American
Glen Campbell

Intro G+G C majorC D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm D MajorD

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


            C majorC     G+G   D MajorD
Once you heard the Opry  crowds applaud
             C majorC      G+G
Now you’re hangin’ out at  Fourth and Broad
    C majorC
On the rain wet sidewalk
 G+G
Remembering the times
   C majorC                A minorAm  C majorC D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G
When coffee with a friend was still a dime

           A minorAm        D MajorD
But everythings been   sold American

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


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

           A minorAm        D MajorD
But Everythings been   sold American

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

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


         A minorAm        D MajorD
Everythings been  sold American

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