Sellout by Josh Morningstar
Sellout
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C#m
Capo:4th fret
[Chorus]
Am
The show last night was sold out
F
Wrote it large cross the marquee
G
But tonight I'm hanging back down
Am
On the corner selling weed
Am
I'm proof that what you're looking at
F
Ain't always what you see
G
Last night I played the Opry
F G Am
But tonight I'm selling weed
F G
Oh ho oh ho
[Verse 1]
Am
In the alley by the Ryman
F
Where the legends used to walk
G
Lies a hundred years of dead careers
Am
Outlined in tears and chalk
Am
I hate to pull the curtain back
F
On everything you thought
G
But in this town it's pray and pay to play
Am
And number one's are bought
[Verse 2]
Am
All these nudie suits, guitar shaped pools
F
And big ol' Cadillac's
G
The stars don't talk, the tricks they've turned
Am
That got them where they're at
Am
Sometimes I hold a guitar
F
Man Sometimes I hold a stash
G
Sometimes I play the guitar
Am
Sometimes I take old Johnny's cash
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
Quick as it comes it can go
F G
You wanna know how I know
[Chorus]
Am
The show last night was sold out
F
Wrote it large cross the marquee
G
But tonight I'm hanging back down
Am
On the corner selling weed
Am
I'm proof that what you're looking at
F
Ain't always what you see
G
Last night I played the Opry
F G Am
But tonight I'm selling weed
F G
Oh ho oh ho
[Verse 3]
Am
There's ghosts in all them houses
F
Down on sixth and seventeenth
G
If you listen close they'll whisper son
Am
That this ain't what it seems
Am
They've heard the voice of angels
F
Watched the Devil make his sale
G
To all the dreamers and schemers
Am
And the kings and queens that fell
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
They've seen them come
Am
They've seen them go
F
The revolving door
G
They call the Row
[Chorus]
Am
The show last night was sold out
F
Wrote it large cross the marquee
G
But tonight I'm hanging back down
Am
On the corner selling weed
Am
I'm proof that what you're looking at
F
Ain't always what you see
G
Last night i played the Opry
F G Am
But tonight I'm selling weed
[Bridge]
F G
You'll try to find a different way
Am
To say the same old thing
F G
You'll try to write a song
Am
That someone else might wanna sing
F G
You'll sacrifice your heart and soul
Am
For gold and stacks of green
F
Cause when they hear you on the radio
F
The folks back home ain't gonna know
F
You're bowing down
G
Bow to the machine
N.C.
Now

Well the show last night was sold out
F
Wrote it large cross the marquee
G
But tonight I'm hanging back down

F
Ain't always what you see
G
Last night I played the Opry
F G Am
But tonight I'm selling weed

Oh ho Oh ho
