The Great Pretender Chords by Stan Freberg

_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ Oh, [F#]
oh yes, [C#] I'm the great _ [F#]
pretender
_ _ _ _ [B] _
Pretending that I am doing [A#] well
Just a moment [F#] please!
You on the [B] piano!
What are you [F#] doing?
Well man, I just play a little ooh-bop-a-doo like ooh-ba-bop-a-ooh-ba-bop-a
See, I think it's a mistake on my part, I got the same chord over and over
Like a clink-clink-clink-clink-clink-clink-clink
That's right!
That's right!
You want me to play the same thing all through the song?
You catch on fast!
_ [A#] Wow!
_ [B] My need [C#] is such, [F#] I pretend _ [B] too much
[F#] I'm lonely, but [C#] no [F#] one can tell
[C#] _
Oh, oh!
Man, you scared me, don't do that
[F#] Oh, oh yes, [C#] I'm the great _ [F#] _ pretender
[A#] Ooh-ooh-ooh [B]-ooh
Watch _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
it!
[B] Just _ [C#] play the game [F#] and you'd better [B] play it too
[F#] Or we're getting [C#] a new [F#] piano man
That's alright with me
[B] To reel is a feeling [F#] of make believe
_ [B] To reel when I feel what [F#] my heart [C#] can't conceal
Oh _ _ _ _
[F#] yes, [C#] I'm the great [D#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ pretender
_ _ _ _ _
[B] Just laughing and gay [F#] like a clown _ _
[B] I seem [C#] to be [F#] what I am now [B] you see
[F#] I'm wearing [C#] my heart [A#] like a crown _ _ _
[F#] _ Pretending [C#] that you're [F#] still around
Just a moment, just a moment please
[A] _ _ [F#] _
_ No, no _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ Hold it, that's not gonna [G#m] sell the records
[A#] _ _ _
[F#] You play that [G#] cling-cling-cling jazz
Or you won't get paid tonight
_ _ [A#m] _
_ Well alright
[B] To reel is a feeling [F#] of make [F#m] believe
[B] To _ reel when I feel [F#] what my heart [C#] can't conceal _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] I'm the great, you see how [F#] lovely that turned out now?
That's a darling, _ [B]
I appreciate it
And gay [F#] like a clown
_ I seem, hold it, I seem, slow down, I seem retard
Don't stop me now man, I got to where I like it
Stop it, stop it I say, I'm getting out of here
_ _ [C] _ He ruined the ending
One of the loveliest parts in the whole
_ [A#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ Peace
The _ [F#] whole peace _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _
