Harmonica is -Vocal Patches - - -
[Verse 1 - NO DRUMS - JUST GUITAR]
Some [G] body once [D] told me the [Am] world is gonna [C] roll me
I [G] ain't the sharpest [D] tool in the [Am] shed [C]
She was [G] looking kinda [D] dumb with her [Am] finger and her
[C] Thumb in the [G] shape of an " [D] L" on her [Am] forehead [C]
[FULL BAND IN]
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Fed to the rules and I [C] hit the ground running
[G] Didn't make sense not to [D] live for fun
Your [Am] brain gets smart but your [C] head gets dumb
[G] So much to do [D] so much to see
So what's [Am] wrong with taking the [C] back streets
You'll [G] never know if you don't [D] go
You'll [Am] never shine if you don't [C] glow
[Chorus - C#dim slide C up one fret and don't fret the D string]
[G] Hey now you're an [C] All Star get your [C#dim-x4x20x] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [C] Rock Star get the [C#dim] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
[Stop wit drum riff]
[Verse 2]
It's a [G] cool place and they [D] say it gets colder
You're [Am] bundled up now but wait ' [C] til you get older
But the [G] meteor men beg to [D] differ
Judging by the [Am] hole in the satellite [C] picture
The ice we [G] skate is getting pretty [D] thin
The waters getting [Am] warm so you might as well [C] swim
My world's on [G] fire how about [D] yours
That's the way I [Am] like it and I never get [C] bored
[Chorus]
[G] Hey now you're an [C] All Star get your [C#dim] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [C] Rock Star get the [C#dim] show on get [C] paid
[G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
[Instrumental - Whistle bit - NO BASS, VERY LIGHT DRUMS AND GUITAR]
G C C#dim C x4 (Scratching - go for the moon)
[Chorus -FULL BAND]
[G] Hey now you're an [C] All Star get your [C#dim] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [C] Rock Star get the [C#dim] show on get [C] paid
And a [G] ll that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold (VOCALS UP)
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] (COME BACK IN EARLIER)
[Verse 3 - Arpeggios]
Some [G] body once [D] asked, could I [Am] spare some change for [C] gas
I need to [G] get myself a [D] way from this [Am] place [C]
I said [G] yep what a con [D] cept I could [Am] use a little fuel my [C] self
And we could [G] all use a [D] little [Am] change [C] [BUILD]
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Fed to the rules and I [C] hit the ground running
[G] Didn't make sense not to [D] live for fun
Your [Am] brain gets smart but your [C] head gets dumb
[G] So much to do [D] so much to see
So what's [Am] wrong with taking the [C] back streets
You'll [G] never know if you don't [D] go, go
You'll [Am] never shine if you don't [C] glow
[Chorus]
[G] Hey now you're an [C] All Star get your [C#dim] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [C] Rock Star get the [C#dim] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold (UP)
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
And [G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold (UP)
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
