EI found him by the stage last night
He was Dbreathing his last Abreath
A Ebottle of wine and a cigarette
Was Dall that he had lAeft
"I can see you make the music
'Cause you Dcarry a guitarE
AGod help the troubadour
Who F#mtries to be a star&qGuot;
G#So pAlay the Gchords of Alove, my friend
Play the Gchords of Apain
If you want to Dkeep your song,A
Don't, don't, don'Et, don't Aplay the Gchords of fameA
I seen my share of hustlers
As they try to take the world
When they find their melody
They're surrounded by the girls
But it all fades so quickly
Like a sunny summer day
Reporters ask you questions
They write down what you say
(chorus)
They'll rob you of your innocence
They will put you up for sale
The more that you will find success
The more that you will fail
I been around, I've had my share
And I really can't complain
But I wonder who I left behind
The other side of fame
