Chords Of Fame

[00:04.09] I found him by the stage last night, he was breathing his last breath
[00:14.83] A bottle of gin and a cigarette was all what he had left
[00:24.66] Well, I know that you make music 'cause you carry a guitar
[00:33.45] But God help the troubadour who tries to be a star
[00:40.79] Come on and play the chords of love, my friend
[00:46.02] Play the chords of fame
[00:49.86] But if you want to keep your song, don't, don't don't
[00:59.37] Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no
[01:07.35] You know I've seen my share of hustlers as they try to take the world
[01:17.76] And when they find a melody, they're surrounded by the girls
[01:28.20] But it all fades so quickly like a sunny summer day
[01:36.67] Reporters ask you questions and they write down what you say
[01:43.73] Come on and play the chords of love, my friend
[01:48.80] Play the chords of fame
[01:52.67] But if you want to keep your song, don't, don't, don't
[02:01.85] Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no
[02:10.12] They'll rob you of your innocence, and put you up for sale
[02:20.30] The more that you will find success, the more that you will fail
[02:30.05] I've been around, I've had my share, and I really can't complain
[02:38.11] But I wonder who I left behind on the other side of fame
[02:45.77] Come on and play the chords of love, my friend
[02:51.01] Play the chords of fame
[02:54.46] But if you want to keep your song, don't, don't, don't
[03:04.08] Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no
[03:12.49] Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
[03:20.87] Don't, oh don't, don't play the chords of fame
[03:29.30] No do-don't, don't play the chords of fame
[03:37.23] No do-don't...
[03:45.51]
