C                              G
I am a star in a scene full of actors

C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout

G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger

                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out

G                C                 G
When I was a boy I ran through the wilderness

                   D7             G
Dodging the photos and wooing the crowd

                  C                 G
I'd carry a rifle and save drownin' puppies

                  D7                 G
And ride off with some lovely lady I found

C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors

C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout

G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger

                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out

G                    C                G
I stepped into frame at the edge of a river

                     D7         G
A thousand feet deep and a mile across

                 C                   G
I gave all I had and finally made it over

                           D7               G
Found out when I got there the cameras were off

C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors

C                               D7
With method, ability, bona fide clout

G                         C                      G
And I nailed all my cues, and I looked ten years younger

                             D7     G
But my famous last scene was edited out

G          D7                            G
Take these bright white lights out of my vision

         D7                          Em     Am
Tell the onlookers "put your cameras away"

C                              D7
No heavy gold trophies will be given

C                                         D7
And there is no script for what I want to say

G                   C           G
Now I am an old man longing for peace

                     D7               G
A place to sit quiet where no one can tell

                 C             G
That I ever read one line on a stage

                  D7        G
And the only role I play is myself

C                               G
I am a star in a scene full of actors
