Biography:
Badfinger was a pop/rock (or "power pop") band that orginated in mid-60s pop bands around Swansea, Wales. Adopting the name Badfinger in 1969, the band was touted as the 'heir apparent' to The Beatles, in part because of their close working relationship with the "Fab Four." Badfinger's meteoric rise and demise (marked by the suicides of founder-member and leader Peter Ham on 24 April 1975, and later of band-member Tom Evans on November 19, 1983) remains a cautionary tale for the rock music industry.

A Bm F#m C#m
saw the railway master and i looked him in the eye
D A G
D
i said would you go much faster if you thought that you would die
A Bm F#m C#m
he said not me son i could not care, in fact i would not try
D A G D
protest would not take me far, it's different me not being a star
B G D A
lock my feelings in a jar, until another day
VERSE 2
oh comfort me dear brother won't you tell me what you know
somewhere in this paper world is a place where i can go
oh long awaited mother, is it time to make a show?
and take your babies to your breast, hope we never pass the test
all our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
E Bm G D A
oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me, you'll follow my shame
E Bm G D A
don', don't confuse me, fore i know it's the name of the game
VERSE 3
cuddled up my pillow, and i looked up at the sun
said, you can see quite clearly now, the things that we have done
rebuild you sacred widow, on the battles we have won
how did we get so very far? it's different me not being a star
lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
