The Great Pretender

Biography:

The Platters were a successful black vocal group of the early rock n roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock n roll Tin Pan Alley tradition of the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers and the explosion of teenage music in the mid 1950s. The most successful incarnation of the group comprised lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.

The Platters formed in Los Angeles, CA, USA in 1953 and were initially managed by Ralph Bass.

E A E E7
Oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Pretending that I'm doing well
A B7 E A
My need is such I pretend too much
E B7 E
I'm lonely but no one can tell

E A E E7
Oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Adrift in a world of my own
A B7 E A
I've played the game but to my real shame
E B7 E E7
You've left me to grieve all alone

A B7 E E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
A B7 E B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E A E E7
Yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
A B7 E A
I seem to be what I'm not you see
E B7 E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
E B7 E E7
Pretending that you're still around

A B7 E E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
A B7 E B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

E A E E7
Yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
A B7 E A
I seem to be what I'm not you see
E B7 E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
E B7 E A E
Pretending that you're still around still around
