Chords

As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1978 Album BARE) [Intro] C F G G7 [Verse 1]
C             G            C
Sometimes you sing for the money

F                          C
Sometimes you sing for the show

F                          C         A7
Sometimes you sing for the dewy eyed darlings

D7                             G7
Still makes them cry don't you know.
[Verse 2]
C             G            C
Sometimes you sing for the glory

    F                     C
But glory don't last very long

                F
And through the haze of the stage

        C            A7
Can you look back to days

     D7          G            C
When you used to sing for the song?
[Chorus]
             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

F
When you stood on that corner

                         C
And didn't even feel the glow

             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

                  C
Before all of the flash bulbs

    F
And cocaine and bright things

                            G
And ladies got hold of your soul.
[Verse 3]
        C            G             C
But you really don't make too much money

        F                    C
And you don't give much of a show

         F                      C            A7
And them dewy eyed darling next week will be crying

                            G7
For somebody else don't you know
[Verse 4]
        C         G         C
But the music's become your burden

        F                           C
And the words all sound twisted and wrong

        F                        C              A7
And the hits that you sell don't taste quite as well

        D7          G            C
As when you used to sing for the song.
[Chorus]
             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

F
When you stood on that corner

                         C
And didn't even feel the glow

             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

                  C
Before all of the flash bulbs

    F
And cocaine and bright things

                            G
And ladies got hold of your soul.

             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

F
When you stood on that corner

                         C
And didn't even feel the glow

             F
Sing for the song boy just like you did

                  C
Before all of the flash bulbs

    F
And cocaine and bright things

                            G
And ladies got hold of your soul.
[Outro]
             C
Sing for the song...
