[Intro]
G6 x4
[Verse 1]
G6 I got the news today That you refused to play C G6 Cause you never made number one but it's not just the words It's the deeds that are heard Em When all is said and done D7 Kings take their crowns They melt them all down C Trying to get the gold out G6 You went to hell and even when you weren't selling D/F# G6 You never ever sold out G6 You weren't no leader
You were more like a bleeder
C G6 Who was trying to cry for us all
You weren't no sage
But your sense of outrage
Em
Sounded like a trumpet call[Verse 2]
D7
Fifteen years agoIn the old folky show
C You were just one voice in the crowd G6 But now with so few singing your voice would have been ringing D/F# G6 Out 'bout twice as loud.
[Chorus]
Em There but for fortune F C Say a small circle of friends Em Some may see the changes A7 D7 So few see the ends Em The pleasures of the harbor F G Have come to you at last Am7 You may not be marching anymore F G6 But the parade's still going past
G6 x4
[Verse 2]
G6 We're not taking the blame that we killed you C G6 You know you did that to yourself but it was kind of a shame that you played that game Em Cause you were better than anyone else D7 One shot of your bottle got you full throttle C It was the friend that was always there G6 But your greatest gift and the curse you lived with D/F# G6 Was that you could always care
[Chorus]
Em There but for fortune F C Say a small circle of friends Em Some may see the changes A7 D7 So few see the ends Em The pleasures of the harbor F G Have come to you at last Am7 You may not be marching anymore F G6 But the parade's still going past
[Outro]
