Pre>e

I found him by the stage last night

D a

He was breathing his last breath

E

A bottle of wine and a cigarette

D a

Was all that he had left

I can see you make the music

D e

cause you carry a guitar

A

God help the troubadour

F#m g

Who tries to be a star

G# a g a

So play the chords of love, my friend

G a

Play the chords of pain

D a

If you want to keep your song,

E a g a

Dont, dont, dont, dont play the chords of fame

I seen my share of hustlers

As they try to take the world

When they find their melody

Theyre surrounded by the girls

But it all fades so quickly

Like a sunny summer day

Reporters ask you questions

They write down what you say

(chorus)

Theyll rob you of your innocence

They will put you up for sale

The more that you will find success

The more that you will fail

I been around, Ive had my share

And I really cant complain

But I wonder who I left behind

The other side of fame

(chorus)
