The Great Pretender chords
The Platters 1956 (Buck Ram) *

Capo I

E MajorE A augmentedA B7B7

    E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE   E7E7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
  A augmentedA      B7B7    E MajorE  E7E7
Pretending that I'm doing well
  A augmentedA    B7B7    E MajorE    A augmentedA
My need is such I pretend too much
  E MajorE     B7B7     E MajorE
I'm lonely but no one can tell

    E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE   E7E7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
 A augmentedA     B7B7     E MajorE E7E7
Adrift in a world of my own
   A augmentedA     B7B7       E MajorE   A augmentedA
I've played the game but to my real shame
    E MajorE     B7B7     E MajorE  E7E7
You've left me to grieve all alone

  A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE      E7E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
  A augmentedA      B7B7      E MajorE       B7B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE   E7E7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
   A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE  E7E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
 A augmentedA    B7B7     E MajorE    A augmentedA
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
  E MajorE     B7B7      E7E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
  E MajorE      B7B7      E MajorE  E7E7
Pretending that you're still around

  A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE      E7E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
  A augmentedA      B7B7      E MajorE       B7B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E MajorE      A augmentedA    E MajorE   E7E7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
   A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE  E7E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
 A augmentedA    B7B7     E MajorE    A augmentedA
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
  E MajorE     B7B7      E7E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
  E MajorE      B7B7      E MajorE    A augmentedA   E MajorE
Pretending that you're still around,  still around
