Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson with that brandnew way of singin' and a
brand new way of dancin.

but fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills so they wind up
Am

Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless and then there was Graham Parson, lord,
and there was Jimi Hendrix.
the story just goes on and on and I guess it allways will, they all wind up on alcohol and pills
