I usually play capo II, but it works without it.

A G D
Faded, jaded, fallen cowboy star
A G D
Pawn shops itching for your old guitar
G D
Where you going? God only knows
G A
The sequins have fallen from your clothes

A G D
Once you heard the Opry crowd applaud
A G D
Now you're hanging out at Fourth and Broad
G D
On the rain whipped sidewalk, remembering the time
G A
When coffee with a friend was still a dime

D Em
And everything's been Sold American
A G D
The early times is finished and the want-ads all are read
D Em
Everyone's been Sold American
A G D
Been dreaming dreams in a roll away bed

A G D
Writing down your memoirs on a window in the frost
A G D
Roulette eyes reflecting on another morning lost
G D
Hauled in by the metro for killing time and pain
G A
With the Singing Brakeman screaming through your veins

D Em
And everything's been Sold American
A G D
The lonely night is morning, for the death it never dies
D Em
Everyone's been Sold American
A G D
Don't let me catch you laughing when the jukebox cries

A G D
You told me you were born so much lighter than life
A G D
But I've seen the faded pictures of your children and your wife
G D
Now they're fumbling through your wallet and they're trying to find your name
G A
It’s almost like they raised the price of fame

D Em
And everything's been Sold American
A G D
No place to go and brother no place to stay
D Em
Everyone's been Sold American
A G D
Just let that golden greyhound roll your soul away
