VERSE 1 (picking similar to outro without the G-riff):
REsus2 REsus2/FA# SOL REsus2
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
SIm LAsus2 SOL SOL
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
REsus2 REsus2/FA# SOL REsus2
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
SIm LAsus2 SOL SOL
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
MIm MIm LAsus2 LAsus2
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
RE RE/FA#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
SOL RE
And the way you used to ride out
RE RE/FA#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
LA LAsus4 LA
With the sunlight on your hair;
RE RE/FA#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
SOL RE
But as for me I've come to know
D A D Dx D[stop]
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
VERSE 2:
RE RE/FA#
Well, old Red, he's getting older,
SOL RE
And last Saturday he stumbled
SIm LAsus2 SOL SOL
But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
RE RE/FA#
Little Casey, she's still growing,
SOL RE
And she's started asking questions
SIm LAsus2 SOL SOL
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
MIm MIm LAsus2 LAsus2
Her birthday came and you never even called;
Em Em Asus2 A[stop]
I guess we never cross your mind at all.
SECOND CHORUS:
RE RE/FA#
But then sometimes I think about you,
SOL RE
And the way you used to ride out
RE RE/FA#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
LA LAsus4 LA
With the sunlight on your hair;
RE RE/FA#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
SOL RE
But as for me I've come to know
RE LA RE REx RE
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
BRIDGE:
SIm LA SOL SOL
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
SIm LA SOL SOL
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):
RE RE/FA#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
SOL RE
And the way you used to ride out
RE RE/FA#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
LA LAsus4 LA
With the sunlight on your hair;
RE RE/FA#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
SOL RE
But as for me I've come to know
RE LA RE REx RE SOL SOLx SOL
Everything that glitters.... is not gold, ooooooooh
D A[stop]
Everything that glitters........
(a cappella, chord would be D on "gold")
......... is not gold
