[00:00.00]Chords Of Fame - Phil Ochs
[00:12.97]I found him by the stage last night
[00:15.56]He was breathing his last breath
[00:20.37]A bottle of gin and a cigarette
[00:23.00]Was all that he had left
[00:27.10]I can see you make the music
[00:30.04]'Cause you carry a guitar
[00:33.21]But God help the troubadour
[00:35.19]Who tries to be a star
[00:40.29]So play the chords of love my friend
[00:44.14]Play the chords of pain
[00:46.41]If you want to keep your song
[00:50.01]Don't don't don't don't play the chords of fame
[00:59.51]I've seen my share of hustlers
[01:01.64]As they try to take the world
[01:07.37]When they find their melody
[01:09.04]They're surrounded by the girls
[01:14.12]But it all fades so quickly
[01:17.03]Like a sunny summer day
[01:20.15]Reporters ask you questions
[01:21.57]They write down what you say
[01:27.16]So play the chords of love my friend
[01:30.43]Play the chords of pain
[01:33.25]If you want to keep your song
[01:35.18]Don't don't don't don't play the chords of fame
[02:09.96]So play the chords of love my friend
[02:13.04]Play the chords of pain
[02:16.12]If you want to keep your song
[02:18.83]Don't don't don't don't play the chords of fame
[02:29.12]They will rob you of your innocence
[02:31.69]They will put you up for sale
[02:36.66]More that you will find success
[02:39.53]The more that you will fail
[02:42.98]I've been around I've had my share
[02:46.28]And I really can't complain
[02:49.55]But I wonder who I left behind
[02:52.57]The other side of fame
[02:56.70]So play the chords of love my friend
[02:59.80]Play the chords of pain
[03:02.67]If you want to keep your song
[03:05.56]Don't don't don't don't play the chords of fame
