Melanie - Chords of Fame


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: G D C G D C G

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

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


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


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



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


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


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



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


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