Verse 1
G Riff 1
Fare thee well my brother
please don't stand in my [A]way
[G]I'm going down to that d[D]irty town
no m[A]atter what you say
G Riff 1
You fooled me and you ruled me
and you played in every [A]part
I gotta [G]go, it's no [D]use me stayin' home
G Riff 1
Goodbye my sister
please don't le[A]t me see you cry
G[G]onna be a star so[D]me day
no matter what they[A] say
G Riff 1
And when you hear the crowds
all callin' and sh[A]outing out my name
until [G]then, my little [D]friend, I'll be unsatisfied
