[Start] [Intro] Am Em Am Em G Am ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] E7 Em If you're nobody's business or you're front page news Am Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues Am Tell your truth however you choose Em Am And do it all for the sake of the song Em Yeah hitchhike and bus ride and rental car Am Living rooms coffee houses and rundown bars Am Ten thousand people or alone under the stars Em Am Its all for the sake of the song [Chorus] F Am And there's a man who wrote Your Cheatin' Heart now he's through his tooth F And he plays it on a stolen harp Em E7 That's soaked in hundred proof F And there's one who might be happy Am Em Am With a foreign badger's purse F E7 She's lost the crowd's attention at the forty second verse Am And it's the travelling salesman the girl next door Em Am On the empty room to the bird on the corner Am Less is less until more is Em Am More And it's all for the sake of the song [Solo] Am7 Em G Am Em G Am ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] F And there's the young man on the marquee Am Yeah he's the son of some well known F E7 His father bought the tour bus so he could strike out on his own [Chorus] F Am Em Am And there's the brooding contradiction he's holding Van Gogh's ear F E7 That he's taped it to his guitar in the hope someone will hear Am Em Am It's back stage and Nudie Suits and the next big thing will get 'em back to your roots Am High tops flannel and duct tape boots Em Cmaj7 Am And it's all for the sake of the song [Inst] Am7 Em Am7 Em7 Em Am Am7 Am ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Em Em7 Em Am ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] F Am And there's the mystic there's the legend and there's the best that's ever been F E7 Em E7 And there's the voice of a generation who wants to pass this way again [Chorus] F Am Em Am And there's record deals and trained seals and puppets on a string F Em And they're all just trying to figure out what makes the caged bird sing Am Em Am It's lights camera on with the show lifetime to get ready now go cat go Am Where it all ends nobody knows Em Am But it's all for the sake of the song Em So if you're nobody's business or you're front page news Am Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues Am Tell your truth however you choose Em Am And do it all for the sake of the song [Outro] [End]
