[Intro]
Am Em Am Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am Em
If you're nobody's business or you're front page news
Am Am
Folk Rock, Country or Delta Blues, tell your truth however you choose
Em Am
And do it all for the sake of the song
Am Em
Yeah, hitchhike, and bus ride and rental car, living rooms coffee house
Am
and rundown bars
Am Em
Ten thousand people or alone under the stars, its all for the sake of the
Am
song
[Chorus 1]
F Am
And there's a man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart", now he's lying to us too
F E E7
And he plays it on a stolen harp, that's soaked in hundred proof
F Am
And there's one who might be happy but for the writer's curse
F E E7
She's lost the crowd's attention at the forty second verse
[Verse 2]
Am
And it's the travelling salesman, the girl next door
Em Am
From an empty room to the third encore, less is less until more is more
Em Am
And it's all for the sake of the song
Am Em G Am Em G Am
F Am
And there's the young man on the marquee, He's the son of some well known
F E E7
And his father bought the tour bus, so he could strike out on his own
[Chorus 2]
F Am Em Am
And there's the brooding contradiction, he's holding Van Gogh's ear
F E E7
And he's taped it to his guitar, in the hope someone will hear
Am Em
It's black berets and Nudie Suits, the next big thing or getting
Am
back to you roots
Am
High tops, flannel and duct tape boots
Em Am
And it's all for the sake of the song
Am Em Am Em Am
[Verse 3]
F Am
And there's the mystic, there's the legend, and there's the best that's ever
