Chords for Phil Ochs : Chords Of Fame

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[E] I found him by the stage last night, he [D] was breathing his last [A] breath
_ [E] A bottle of gin and a [D] cigarette, that's all [A] that he had left
I can see you make music, [D] cause you carry [E] your guitar
[A] But God help the [F#m] troubadour, who tries to be a star
_ [A] So play the [A] chords of love my friend, play the chords of pain
If you [D] want to keep your song, don't, [E] don't, don't
[A] Don't play the chords of pain
I've _ _ [E]
seen my share of hustlers, [D] as they try to take the [A] world
[E] When they find their melody, [D] they're surrounded [A] by the _ girls
But it all fades so quickly, [D] like a sunny [F#] summer's day
[A] Reporters ask you questions, [F#m] they write down what to say
_ So play the [A] chords of love my friend, play the chords of pain
If you [D] want to keep your song, don't, [E] don't, _ don't
[A] Don't play the chords of pain
So _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
play the chords of love my friend, play the chords of pain
If you [D] want to keep your song, don't, [E] don't, _ _ don't
Don't play the chords of pain
They [F#] _
[E] will rob you of your innocence, [D] they will put you [A] up for sale
_ _ [E] More that you will find success, [D]
more that [A] you will fail
I've been a ride in a chair, and I really [E] can't complain
But I wonder who I left [F#m] behind, the other side of pain
_ [A] So play the chords of love my friend, play the chords of pain
If you [D] want to keep [A] your song, don't, [E] don't, _ don't
Don't play the chords [A] of pain _ _ _ _
