Verse 1
(G major) Well, the place was
New
York
City, and the hour was growing late.
We had (D major) walked from the streets of
Harlem to the
(G major) Greenwich
Village gate.
We were young and foolish
and trying out for strength.
He (D major) said,
James
Dean was his (G major) name.
An (D major) d I held the rose that
he gave (G major) me for an owl
He (D major) wrote down the words while
I (G major) picked the wildflower
Well, I used to be somebody,
Lord, I (C major) used to have a friend (G major)
I'd like to be somebody (D major) again (G major)
I used to be somebody, but
Lord, (C major) where have I (G major) been? I
ain't ever gonna see
James (D major)
Dean again (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Well, went with
Elvis
Presley to see
Brando from afar
And I said (D major) with
Desanne and
Tennessee I did a (G major) streetcar named
Desire
We laughed a lot and we danced a lot
and we rocked the way our feet
That was back (D major) in my rock
and roll years (G major)
When (D major) I held the rose that he
gave (G major) me for an hour
(D major) Elvis sang the song while I
(G major) picked the wildflower
Well, used to be somebody,
Lord, I (C major) used to have a friend (G major)
I'd like to be some (D major) body again (G major)
I used to be somebody, good
Lord, (C major) where have I (G major) been? I
ain't ever gonna see
Elvis (D major) again (G major)
Well,
I've got the best man and my children,
they love me
And I (D major) might have done some things
good enough (G major) for you to see
But sometimes if
I'm feeling low,
I swing back through my fears
And go back (D major) to my rock and roll years (G major)
When I (D major) held the ropes that
he gave (G major) me for an hour
Elvis (D major) sang the song while I
(G major) picked the wild flowers
When (D major) I (G major) used to be somebody,
Lord, I (C major) used to have a (G major) friend
I'd like to be some (D major) body again (G major)
I used to be somebody important,
(C major) where have I been? (G major)
I ain't never gonna see
Elvis (D major) again (G major)
I ain't ever gonna see
James (D major)
Dean again (G major)
I ain't ever gonna see
Pat (D major) sy
Clyde again (G major)
Well, I ain't ever gonna see
Hank
(D major) Williams again. (G major)
I'm telling you,
I'm gonna give all of you guys,
all of you,
Dave, you've got to really
shine this time, and
Marty, because this is a murder, baby.
Well, it's just, we're all
going to jump in on this thing.
Rodney's playing thumbs and
I'm playing foot.
we'll see what happens.
This is, this one's really,
this one's really got a,
wait a minute, wait a minute,
Norma,
we've not even started.
And it takes so long for this man
to die in here.
We'll just all start together
at once
and then we'll kill that
dude in just a little while.
