     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
                                G                    D                      G  
Come on and play the chords of love my friend
                        D                      G  
Play the chords of fame
                                             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
                                          G                    D                      G  
So, come on and play the chords of love my friend
                        D                      G  
Play the chords of fame
                                             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
                                          G                    D                      G  
Oh, come on and play the chords of love my friend
                        D                      G  
Play the chords of fame
                                             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
