Sold American chords by Kinky Friedman

Chords with lyrics

I usually play capo II, but it works without it.

A augmentedA          G+G    D MajorD
Faded, jaded, fallen cowboy star
A augmentedA              G+G  D MajorD
Pawn shops itching for your old guitar
G+G        D MajorD
Where you going? God only knows
G+G                 A augmentedA
The sequins have fallen from your clothes

A augmentedA            G+G     D MajorD
Once you heard the Opry crowd applaud
A augmentedA             G+G     D MajorD
Now you're hanging out at Fourth and Broad
G+G               D MajorD
On the rain whipped sidewalk, remembering the time
G+G                   A augmentedA
When coffee with a friend was still a dime

D MajorD          E minorEm
And everythings been Sold American
A augmentedA              G+G            D MajorD
The early times is finished and the want-ads all are read
D MajorD       E minorEm
Everyones been Sold American
A augmentedA             G+G     D MajorD
Been dreaming dreams in a roll away bed

A augmentedA               G+G       D MajorD
Writing down your memoirs on a window in the frost
A augmentedA              G+G        D MajorD
Roulette eyes reflecting on another morning lost
G+G             D MajorD
Hauled in by the metro for killing time and pain
G+G                        D MajorD
With the Singing Brakeman screaming through your veins

D MajorD          E minorEm
And everythings been Sold American
A augmentedA              G+G           D MajorD
The lonely night is morning, for the death it never dies
D MajorD       E minorEm
Everyones been Sold American
A augmentedA                    G+G    D MajorD
Don't let me catch you laughing when the jukebox cries

A augmentedA                 G+G      D MajorD
You told me you were born so much lighter than life
A augmentedA                    G+G         D MajorD
But I've seen the faded pictures of your children and your wife
G+G                          D MajorD
Now they're fumbling through your wallet and they're trying to find your name
G+G                     D MajorD
It's almost like they raised the price of fame

D MajorD          E minorEm
And everythings been Sold American
A augmentedA             G+G      D MajorD
No place to go and brother no place to stay
D MajorD       E minorEm
Everyones been Sold American
A augmentedA               G+G        D MajorD
Just let that golden greyhound roll your soul away
