Badfinger – Name Of The Game (Guitar)

  A               Bm           F#m               C#m
I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye

         D                 A             G                      D
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"

          A              Bm                 F#m              C#m
He said, "Not me, sir, I could not care, in fact I would not try

    D                 A                 G                 D
For protest would not take me far, it's different, me not being a star."

  B7               G          D           A
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day

    A                Bm                 F#m              C#m
Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know

    D                 A                  G                 D
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go

    A             Bm            F#m            C#m
Oh, long-awaiting mother, is it time to make a show

    D                A               G            D
And take your babies to your breast, no, we never passed the test

    B7                  G              D             A
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on

E           Bm              G                 D         A
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me, you'll follow my shame

E            Bm             G             D           A
No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game

  A             Bm           F#m              C#m
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun

         D                 A                 G                   D
I said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done

   A                  Bm             F#m             C#m
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won

    D             A              G                 D
But did we get so very far? It's different, me not being a star."

  B7               G          D         A
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away

E           Bm              G                 D         A
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me, you'll follow my shame

E            Bm             G             D           A
No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game
