(A major) Faded jaded falling (G major)
cowboy star (D major) (A major)
Pawnshops itching for
your (G major) old gui (D major) tar (G major)
Where you're going, (D major) God only knows
(G major) The sequins have (E minor) fallen
from your (A major) clothes
Once you heard the Opry (G major)
crowd ap (D major) plaud (A major)
Now you're hanging out

On the (G major) rain wet sidewalk re

When (G major) coffee with a friend (E minor) was still
a dime
(A major)

down your memoirs
on (G major) some window in the frost (D major)
(A major) Roulette eyes reflecting

With a (G major) singing brakeman (E minor) screaming through

You told me you were born
so much (G major) higher (D major) than life
(A major) But I've seen the faded pictures of your
(G major) children and your (D major) wife
Now they're (G major) fumbling through your wallet

It's (G major) almost like they (E minor) raise the price
of fame (A major)

(D major)
And everything's been (E minor) sold American
(A major) No place to go and brother,

Just let (A major) (G major) (D major) that (A major) golden
Greyhound roll your soul (G major) (D major) away
