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

Capo I

E A B7

    E      A    E   E7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
  A      B7    E  E7
Pretending that I'm doing well
  A    B7    E    A
My need is such I pretend too much
  E     B7     E
I'm lonely but no one can tell

    E      A    E   E7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
 A     B7     E E7
Adrift in a world of my own
   A     B7       E   A
I've played the game but to my real shame
    E     B7     E  E7
You've left me to grieve all alone

  A      B7     E      E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
  A      B7      E       B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E      A    E   E7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
   A      B7     E  E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
 A    B7     E    A
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
  E     B7      E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
  E      B7      E  E7
Pretending that you're still around

  A      B7     E      E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
  A      B7      E       B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E      A    E   E7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
   A      B7     E  E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
 A    B7     E    A
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
  E     B7      E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
  E      B7      E    A   E
Pretending that you're still around,  still around
