[Verse 1]
                   C        G    D
Faded jaded fallen   cowboy star
                            C    
Pawn shops itchin' for your   old 
    G   C
guitar
                              G
Where you've goin'   it ain't know 
body knows
C                            
Sequins have fallin' from your 
  Am   G  D  C  D
clothes


[Verse 2]
                        C       
Once you heard the Opry   crowds 
   G      D
applaud
                          C        
Now you're hangin' out at   Fourth 
    G
and Broad
       C
On the rain wet sidewalk
  G
Remembering the times
     C                             
When coffee with a friend was still
   Am   C  D  Em G
 a dime


[Chorus]
                      Am     
But everythings been     sold

Continues after the ad
The early times are finished
        C                 G
And the want ad's are all read
                Am                D
Everyone's been    sold American

Been dreamin' dreams in a roll away

[Verse 3]
D
Writin' down your memoirs
        C             G
On some window in the frost
D                          C     
Roulette eyes reflecting   
           G
another mornin's loss
C                         G
Wanted by the Metro   for killin' 
time an pain
       C                         
With a singin' Brakemen screamin' 
           Am    C  D Em G

    D                             
You told me you were born so much 
C             G
  higher than life
         D
But I've seen the faded pictures of
     C                G
your children an your wife
            C
Now they're fumblin' thru your 
wallet
            G
And they're tryin' to find your name
     C                          
It's almost like they raised the 
           Am  C  D  G
price of fame
