Badfinger – The 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
Protest would not take me far

     G                 D
It's different, me not being a star"

  B                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                F                 D
Somewhere in this paper 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
And take your babies to your breast

G            D
No, we never passed the test

B                   G              D             A
All our sins should be confessed before we carry on

E           Bm
Oh, don't refuse me

       G              D         A
If you choose me, you follow my shame

E            Bm
No, don't confuse me

      G             D           A
For I know it's the name of the game

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

       D                 A               G                   D
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
But did we get so very far?

     G                 D
It's different, me not being a star"

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

E           Bm
Oh, don't refuse me

       G              D         A
If you choose me, you follow my shame

E            Bm
No, don't confuse me

      G             D           A
For I know it's the name of the game

E           Bm
Oh, don't refuse me

       G              D         A
If you choose me, you follow my shame

E            Bm
No, don't confuse me

      G             D           A
For I know it's the name of the game
