Melanie - Chords of Fame


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G

 D MajorD
I found him by the stage last night
    C majorC         G+G
He was breathing his last breath
 D MajorD
A augmentedA bottle of gin and a cigarette
  C majorC     G+G
Was all he had left

Well, I know that you make music
      C majorC       D MajorD
'Cause you carry your guitar
  G+G
But god help the troubadour
  E minorEm
Who tries to be a star


CHORUS:
      G+G    D MajorD     G+G
Come on and play the chords of love my friend
     D MajorD     G+G
Play the chords of fame
         C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no
   E minorEm               G+G
Don't play the chords of fame, oh no no


       D MajorD
You know I've seen my share of hustlers
    C majorC        G+G
As they try to take the world
  D MajorD
And when they find their melody
    C majorC         G+G
They're surrounded by the girls


But it all fades so quickly
    C majorC      D MajorD
Like a sunny summer day
 G+G
Reporters ask you questions
     E minorEm
And they write down what you say

CHORUS:
        G+G    D MajorD     G+G
So, come on and play the chords of love my friend
     D MajorD     G+G
Play the chords of fame
         C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no
   E minorEm               G+G
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no


    D MajorD
They'll rob you of your innocence
    C majorC       G+G
They'll put you up for sale
  D MajorD
The more that you will find success
  C majorC         G+G
The more that you will fail


I'd been around, I had my share
   C majorC        D MajorD
And I really can't complain
   G+G
But I wonder who I left behind
    E minorEm
On the other side of fame


CHORUS:
        G+G    D MajorD     G+G
Oh, come on and play the chords of love my friend
     D MajorD     G+G
Play the chords of fame
         C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no
   E minorEm               G+G   D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no
