NO ONE CAME
As recorded by Deep Purple
(From the 1971 Album FIREBALL)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E7+9
Maybe it's because I'm only starting
E7+9
That I think it won't take too long
E7+9 D
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I Athink you've got it wrong E7
E7+9
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
E7+9
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
E7+9
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
AndD someone else Asaid never mind E7
[Pre-Chorus]
E7Well I was C#mbig and bold and more than twice as old
C#mAs all the cats I'd ever seen
C#mI grew my hair and bought a suit
C#mOf shiny white or was it cream
C#mI shook and shivered danced and quivered
C#mAnd stood on a mountain top A7
[Chorus]
A7No one came from miles around and said
A7Man your music is really hot G D
[Verse 2]
E7+9
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
E7+9
My throat was tired and worn
E7+9 D
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they Apoured on the scorn E7
E7+9
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
E7+9
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
E7+9 D
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talking about
He mustA've been the king of E7queens
[Pre-Chorus]
E7Well I could C#mwrite a million songs about the things I've done
C#mBut I could never sing them so they'd never get sung
C#mThere's a law for the rich and one for the poor
C#mAnd there's another one for singers
C#mIt's die young and live much longer
C#mSpend your money and sit and wonder A7
[Chorus]
A7No one came for miles around
A7And said man your music is really funky
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
E7+9
I believe that I must tell the truth
E7+9
And say things as they really are
E7+9 D
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I Aever be a star E7
E7+9
Nobody knows who's real and who's faking
E7+9
Everyone's shouting out loud
E7+9 D
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
Where's my ARobin Hood outfit E7
[Pre-Chorus]
E7Well I've C#mcome and I've gone before you wink an eye
C#mNo one ever cared enought to say goodbye
C#mThe money's good and the time you have
C#mFun and games galore
C#mBut you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
C#mAnd you wonder what you did it for A7
[Chorus]
A7No one came from miles around
A7And said man who's he?
