[Intro](Solo Piano)
Am9 Bm7 Em F9 Bm7 Abdim/E Ddim/E
[Verse 1]
Am7 Oh, he was a light star Bm7 Tripping on a high wire Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bulldog stubborn and born uneven Baug A classless creature Abdim / E Am7 A man for all seasons but don't bet them Bm7 They can't take him to the very bottom Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 Because they made him and they'll waste him Baug Abdim/E Abdim Am7 And I don't believe that I want to watch them
[Piano interlude]
Am9 Bm9 Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
[Chorus]
Baug Abdim/E Am9 Em/A Because the fifties shifted out of gear D7 G G7/B C He was an idol then, now he's an idol here C D/C Bm7 Em7 But his face has changed, he's not the same, no more A7 B7 Abdim/E Am7 And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before
[Verse 2]
Am9 He was tight-assed Bm9 Walking on broken glass Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 Highly prized in the wallet size Baug Abdim/E Am9 The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes Am9 Bm9 But don't pretend that it won't end
In the depth of your despair
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7 You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes Baug Abdim/E Am7 Am9 To peanuts from the lion's share, alright
[Interlude]
Am9 Bm9 Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
[Chorus]
Baug Abdim/E Am9 Em/A Because the fifties shifted out of gear D7 G G7/B C He was an idol then, now he's an idol here C D/C Bm7 Em7 But his face has changed, he's not the same, no more A7 B7 Abdim/E Am7 And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before
