[INTRO]
F9 Bbm7
The audience treated him kindly
F9 Bbm7
But nobody shouted for more
G#M7 Db/Eb
These days you don’t read much about him
G#M7 Db/Eb
No star on his dressing room door
Cm9 Gm
I went backstage to see him
Dm(M7) G7#11
No crowds to stand in my way
Bb
He didn't look sad
F/A add 9
No he didn’t look sad
Bb (big scale walk up) D
But here’s something he wanted to say
[STROPHE 1]
Am E/G#
In my heyday young girls wrote to me
Gdim7 Dm/F
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
G/F C/E F
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
F#m7/11 C#7aug/F Esus E
Once upon a song
Am E/G#
Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat
Gdim7 Dm/F
The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet
G/F Em E7
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
Am D/A Am
And so you see
[CHORUS]
F G/F
If I never sing another song
Em7 F
Or take another bow
Dm E7 Am Bm/A Am
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
[STROPHE 2]
Am E/G#
Always posing, but you love it all
Gdim7 Dm/F
Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all
G/F C/E F
Everything I did the world applauded
F#m7/11 (add C) C#7aug/F Esus E
Once upon a star
Am E/G#
Framed citations, hang on every wall
Gdim7 Dm/F
Got a scrapbook full of quotes, I can't recall them all
G/F Em7 E7
There were times I felt the world belonged to me
Am Bm/A Am
And so you see
[CHORUS]
F G/F
If I never sing another song
Em F
It wouldn't bother me
Dm Dm/C E7 (add F)
I had my share of fame
Am D7/A Am
You know my name

Modulate up to Eb
