VERSE 1 (picking similar to outro without the G-riff):
Dsus2 Dsus2/F# G Dsus2
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
Bm Asus2 G G
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
Dsus2 Dsus2/F# G Dsus2
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
Bm Asus2 G G
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
Em Em Asus2 Asus2
And she still asks about you all the time;
Em Em Asus2 A[stop]
And I guess we never even cross your mind.
(Strum rest of song until outro, ad lib sus2 and sus4
on the D and A chords. When there are two consecutive
bars of D as below, the bass player is emphasizing an
F# bass for the second bar.)
CHORUS
D D/F#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
G D
And the way you used to ride out
D D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
A Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
D D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
G D
But as for me I've come to know
D A D Dx D[stop]
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
VERSE 2:
D D/F#
Well, old Red, he's getting older,
G D
And last Saturday he stumbled
Bm Asus2 G G
But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
D D/F#
Little Casey, she's still growing,
G D
And she's started asking questions
Bm Asus2 G G
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
Em Em Asus2 Asus2
Her birthday came and you never even called;
Em Em Asus2 A[stop]
I guess we never cross your mind at all.
SECOND CHORUS:
D D/F#
But then sometimes I think about you,
G D
And the way you used to ride out
D D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
A Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
D D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
G D
But as for me I've come to know
D A D Dx D
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
BRIDGE:
Bm A G G
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
Bm A G G
And I guess that we were only in your way.
D F#m(A?) G G
But someday, I'm sure, you're gonna know the cost;
Em Em Asus2 A[stop]
Cause for everything you win, there's something lost.
FINAL CHORUS (slowly):
D D/F#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
G D
And the way you used to ride out
D D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
A Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
D D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
G D
But as for me I've come to know
D A D Dx D G Gx G
Everything that glitters.... is not gold, ooooooooh
D A[stop]
Everything that glitters........
(a cappella, chord would be D on "gold")
......... is not gold
