Sold American
Glen Campbell
[Intro]
G C D C G Em D
[Verse 1]
C G D
Faded jaded fallen cowboy star
C G C
Pawn shops itchin' for your old guitar
G
Where you've goin' it ain't know body knows
C Am G D C D
Sequins have fallin' from your clothes
[Verse 2]
C G D
Once you heard the Opry crowds applaud
C G
Now you're hangin' out at Fourth and Broad
C
On the rain wet sidewalk
G
Remembering the times
C Am C D Em G
When coffee with a friend was still a dime
[Chorus]
Am D
But everythings been sold American
The early times are finished
C G
And the want ad's are all read
Am D
Everyone's been sold American
C G
Been dreamin' dreams in a roll away bed
[Verse 3]
D
Writin' down your memoirs
C G
On some window in the frost
D C G
Roulette eyes reflecting another mornin's loss
C G
Wanted by the Metro for killin' time an pain
C Am C D Em G
With a singin' Brakemen screamin' thru your veins
[Chorus 2]
Am D
But everythings been sold American
The early times are finished
C G
And the want ad's are all read
Am D
Everyone's been sold American
C G
Been dreamin' dreams in a roll away bed
[Verse 4]
D C G
You told me you were born so much higher than life
D
But I've seen the faded pictures of
C G
your children an your wife
C
Now they're fumblin' thru your wallet
G
And they're tryin' to find your name
C Am C D G
It's almost like they raised the price of fame
[Outro]
Am D
Everythings been sold American
The early times are finished
C G
And the want ad's are all read
Am D
Everyone's been sold American
C G C G
Been dreamin' dreams in a roll away bed
