[Verse 1]
C F G C
He’s a star but he didn’t get as far
F G
As those who idolized his ways and means
F G C
To prepare themselves to be better human beings
F G C
Well they understood more than he had meant to say
F G
In his day
F C F C F G C
But that’s O.K.
[Verse 2]
C F G C
She’s a jewel but her tactics are so cruel
F
And her past affairs smelled cheap
G
Like the perfume in her hair
F G C
She lives another life but not her own
F G C F G
On an imaginary throne in the sky
F C F C F G C
She’s afraid to die
[Verse 3]
C F G C
Great thoughts don’t come to those who try too hard
F G
To interpretate what’s going on in the mind’s backyard
F G C
So I’ll leave lest you think that I’m a hoax
F G C F G
Like these other folks in my song
F C
Goodbye so long
