Melanie Safka - Chords of Fame INTRO: G D C G D C G
  D
I found him by the stage last night

       C                  G
He was breathing his last breath

  D
A bottle of gin and a cigarette 

    C          G
Was all he had left
Well, I know that you make music
           C             D
'Cause you carry your guitar

    G
But god help the troubadour

    Em
Who tries to be a star
CHORUS:
            G        D         G
Come on and play the chords of love my friend

         D         G
Play the chords of pain

                 C         G           D
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no

      Em                             G
Don't play the chords of fame, oh no no

              D
You know I've seen my share of hustlers 

        C               G
As they try to take the world

    D
And when they find their melody

        C                 G
They're surrounded by the girls
But it all fades so quickly
       C            D
Like a sunny summer day

  G
Reporters ask you questions 

         Em
And they write down what you say
CHORUS:
                G        D         G
So, come on and play the chords of love my friend

         D         G
Play the chords of pain

                 C         G           D
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no

      Em                             G
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no

        D
They'll rob you of your innocence

        C              G
They'll put you up for sale

    D
The more that you will find success

    C                  G
The more that you will fail
I'd been around, I had my share
      C               D
And I really can't complain

      G
But I wonder who I left behind

       Em
On the other side of fame
CHORUS:
                G        D         G
Oh, come on and play the chords of love my friend

         D         G
Play the chords of pain

                 C         G           D
But if you wanna keep your song, no no no

      Em                             G     D  C  G  D
Don't play the chords of fame, no no no
