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
