Sold American Kinky Friedman
I usually play capo II, but it works without it.
[A]Faded, jaded, fallen [G]cowboy s[D]tar
[A]Pawn shops itching for your [G]old [D]guitar
[G]Where you going? [D]God only knows
[G]The sequins have fallen from your [A]clothes
[A]Once you heard the Opry [G]crowd appl[D]aud
[A]Now you're hanging out at [G]Fourth and [D]Broad
[G]On the rain whipped sidewalk, [D]remembering the time
[G]When coffee with a friend was still a [A]dime
[D]And everythings been [Em]Sold American
[A]The early times is finished [G]and the want-ads all are [D]read
[D]Everyones been [Em]Sold American
[A]Been dreaming dreams in a [G]roll away [D]bed
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kinky_friedman/sold_american_crd_ver_2.html )
[A]Writing down your memoirs on a [G]window in the [D]frost
[A]Roulette eyes reflecting on [G]another morning [D]lost
[G]Hauled in by the metro for [D]killing time and pain
[G]With the Singing Brakeman screaming through your [D]veins
[D]And everythings been [Em]Sold American
[A]The lonely night is morning, [G]for the death it never [D]dies
[D]Everyones been [Em]Sold American
[A]Don't let me catch you laughing when the [G]jukebox [D]cries
[A]You told me you were born so much [G]lighter than [D]life
[A]But I've seen the faded pictures of your [G]children and your [D]wife
[G]Now they're fumbling through your wallet and they're [D]trying to find your name
[G]It’s almost like they raised the price of f[D]ame
[D]And everythings been [Em]Sold American
[A]No place to go and brother [G]no place to s[D]tay
[D]Everyones been [Em]Sold American
[A]Just let that golden greyhound [G]roll your soul aw[D]ay
