[N] [C]
Faded, jaded, [Bb] fallen, cowboy [F] star
[C] Pawn shops itching [Bb] for your old [F] guitar
[Bb] Where you going?
[F] God only knows
[Bb] The [Gm] sequins have fallen [C] from your clothes
Once you heard the opry, [Bb] crowd [F] applauded
[C] Now you're hanging out at [Bb] Fourth and [F] Broad
[Bb] On the rain-wept sidewalk,
[F] remembering the time
When [Bb] coffee with a [Gm] friend [F] was [C] still a [Bb] dime
[C]
[F] And everything's been [Gm] sold American
[C]
The early times is finished and [Bb] the want adds all [F] the red
Everyone's been [Gm]
sold American
[C]
Been dreaming dreams in [Bb] a rolled-away [F] bed
[C] [F]
[C] Writing down your memoirs on some [Bb] window in the [F]
frost
[C] Roulette eyes reflecting [Bb] another morning [F]
lost
Hauled [Bb] in by the metro [F] for killing time in pain
With the [Bb] singing breakmen [Gm]
[F] screaming through [C] your veins
And [F]
everything's [Gm] been sold American
[C] The lonely night is mourning for [Bb] the death it never [F] dies
Everyone's been [Gm] sold American
Don't [C] let me catch you laughing when the [Bb] jukebox [F] cries
You [C] told me you were born so [Bb] much higher [F] than life
But [C] I've seen the faded pictures of [Bb] your children and [F] your wife
Now [Bb] they're fumbling through your wallet
And they're [F] trying to find your name
It's [Bb] almost like they [Gm] raised [F] the [C] price of fame
And [F] everything's been [Gm]
sold American
[C] No place to go and brother, [Bb] no place to [F] stay
Everyone's been [Gm]
sold American
Let [C] heaven's golden greyhound roll [Bb] your soul [F] away
And everything's been [Gm]
sold American
[C] No place to go and [Bb] no place to [F] stay
Everyone's been [Gm]
sold American
[C] Let heaven's golden greyhound roll [Bb] your soul [F] away
And everything's been [Gm] sold American
