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
