The Parades Still Passing By

  G6
I got the news today That you refused to play
          C                  G6
Cause you never made number one but it's not just the words It's the deeds that are heard
                     Em
When all is said and done
D7
Kings take their crowns They melt them all down
C
Trying to get the gold out
G6
You went to hell and even when you weren't selling

    D/F#            G6
You never ever sold out
    G6
You weren't no leader
You were more like a bleeder
       C                     G6
Who was trying to cry for us all
You weren't no sage
But your sense of outrage
                       Em
Sounded like a trumpet call


[Verse 2]
D7
Fifteen years ago
In the old folky show
        C
You were just one voice in the crowd
             G6
But now with so few singing your voice would have been ringing

    D/F#            G6
Out 'bout twice as loud.


[Chorus]
Em
There but for fortune
       F              C
Say a small circle of friends
Em
Some may see the changes
A7             D7
So few see the ends
     Em
The pleasures of the harbor
      F             G
Have come to you at last
    Am7
You may not be marching anymore
         F                   G6
But the parade's still going past
G6    x4


[Verse 2]
     G6
We're not taking the blame that we killed you
             C               G6
You know you did that to yourself but it was kind of a shame that you played that game
                                 Em
Cause you were better than anyone else
    D7
One shot of your bottle got you full throttle
           C
It was the friend that was always there
         G6
But your greatest gift and the curse you lived with
D/F#                     G6
Was that you could always care


[Chorus]
Em
There but for fortune
       F              C
Say a small circle of friends
Em
Some may see the changes
A7             D7
So few see the ends
     Em
The pleasures of the harbor
      F             G
Have come to you at last
    Am7
You may not be marching anymore
         F                   G6
But the parade's still going past
