Chords of Fame Melanie
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G D C G D C G
I [D]found him by the stage last night
He was [C]breathing his last [G]breath
A [D]bottle of gin and a cigarette
Was [C]all he had [G]left
Well, I know that you make music
'Cause you [C]carry your gui[D]tar
But [G]god help the troubadour
Who [Em]tries to be a star
CHORUS:
Come on and [G]play the [D]chords of [G]love my friend
Play the [D]chords of [G]fame
But if you wanna [C]keep your [G]song, no no [D]no
Don't [Em]play the chords of fame, oh no [G]no
You know I've [D]seen my share of hustlers
As they [C]try to take the [G]world
And [D]when they find their melody
They're [C]surrounded by the [G]girls
But it all fades so quickly
Like a [C]sunny summer [D]day
Re[G]porters ask you questions
And they [Em]write down what you say
CHORUS:
So, come on and [G]play the [D]chords of [G]love my friend
Play the [D]chords of [G]fame
But if you wanna [C]keep your [G]song, no no [D]no
Don't [Em]play the chords of fame, no no [G]no
They'll [D]rob you of your innocence
They'll [C]put you up for [G]sale
The [D]more that you will find success
The [C]more that you will [G]fail
I'd been around, I had my share
And I [C]really can't com[D]plain
But I [G]wonder who I left behind
On the [Em]other side of fame
CHORUS:
Oh, come on and [G]play the [D]chords of [G]love my friend
Play the [D]chords of [G]fame
But if you wanna [C]keep your [G]song, no no [D]no
Don't [Em]play the chords of fame, no no [G]no[D] [C] [G] [D]
