Sake Of The Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
If you're [Am]nobody's
business or you're [E]front page [Em]news
Rock, Country or [Am]Delta [G]Blues
[Am]Tell your truth however you choose
And do [Em]it all for the sake
of the song
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, hitchhike, and bus
[Em]ride and rental car
Living rooms coffee [G]house
and [Am]rundown bars
Ten thousand people or
alone under the stars
[Em]All for the sake of the song
[Am]

[Verse 3]
And there's a [F]man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart",
[Am]now he's b[Em]lind to [Am]it's truth
And [G]he [F]plays it on a stolen harp,
his [E]soul is hundred proof
And there's [F]one who might be happy with
a [Am]for [Em]eign bag[Am]gar's purse
She's [F]lost the crowd's attention
at [E]the forty second verse

[Verse 4]
And it's the [Am]travelling salesman,
the girl next door
[Em]On the empty room to [G]the
[Am]bird on the corner
[G]Les[Am]s is less until more is more
And it's [Em]all for the sake of t[Am]he song

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][Em][G][Am][Em][G][Em][G]
[Am]

[Verse 5]
And there's the [F]young man on the marquee,
[Am]He's fond of somewhere unknown
And his [F]father bought the two of us
so he could [E]strike out on his own
And there's the [F]brooding contradiction,
[Am]he's holding [Em]Van Gogh's [Am]ear
And [G]he's [F]taken to his guitar,
in the [E]hope someone will hear

[Verse 6]
It's life [Am]back stage and Nudie Suits
And [Em]the next big thing will get
'em [Am]back to you roots
High five flannel and duct tape boots
And it's [Em]all for the sake of t[G]he song
[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][G][Am][G][Am][Em][G]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
And there's the [F]mystic, there's the legend,
and there's the [Am]best that's [E]ever [Am]been
And there's the [F]voice of a generation
who wants to [E]pass this way again
And there's re[F]cord deals and trained seals,
[Am]and puppets on a[E] str[Am]ing
And they're [F]all just trying to figure out
what [E]makes the caged bird sing

[Verse 8]
It's [Am]lights, camera, on with the show
Life[Em]time to get ready, now [Am]go cat go
Where it all ends, nobody knows
B it's [Em]all for the sake of t[G]he song
[Am]

[Verse 9]
So if you're nobody's
business
[Em]Or you're front page news
Rock, Country [G]or [Am]Delta Blues
Tell your truth however you choose
And do [Em]it all for the sake [Am]of the song
