KEY OF E. CAPO 2ND FRET. INTRO: D D Bm Em
VERSE 1:
D D G D
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
Bm F#m Em Em
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
D D G D
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
Bm F#m Em Em
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
G G A A
She still asks about you all the time;
G Em A A[stop]
And I guess we never even cross your mind.
CHORUS:
D D G D
But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
D D A A
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
D F#m G D
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
D A D D[stop]
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
VERSE 2:
Well, old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
Her birthday came and you never even called;
I guess we never cross your mind at all.
SECOND CHORUS:
D D G D
But then sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
D D A A
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
D F#m G D
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
D A D D
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
BRIDGE:
Bm F#m Em Em
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
Bm F#m Em Em
And I guess that we were only in your way.
D F#m Em G
But someday, I'm sure, you're gonna know the cost;
Bm Bm Em A[stop]
Cause for everything you win, there's something lost.
FINAL CHORUS (slowly):
D D G D
But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
D D A A
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
D F#m G D
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
D A D G
Everything that glitters.... is not gold, ooooooooh
D A[stop] D[stop]
Everything that glitters................. is not gold
OUTRO (while whistling melody):
D F#m G D D A D G
D D G D..... (fade out)
