[Intro]
C Bm G C
[Verse]
C BmYou can get a flashy guitar and play in all the best bars
GBut I hope you know how to smile
C BmAnd it'll help if you can shake it cuz that's the way you gotta make it
G CWhen you're young and in your prime
[Verse]
C BmNow It's a fight to tell the truth, its even harder in your youth
GAnd no one likes a tune that they've never heard
C BmNobody wants a song, if they can't sing along
G CSo you give them Brown Eyed Girl
[Bridge]
GNow I sure ain't saying this is a prayer worth praying
CIn fact, its something I could never recommend
GBut you won't never have to fear, singing songs folks wanna hear
CAnd when you're done, they'll all shout amen
GBut it wont have no meaning and them rhymes will be so easy
C Gm CWith no message in your songs, well I've heard so many say it
CYou gotta fake it till you make it but you won't be making nothing at all
[Interlude]
C Bm G C
[Verse]
C BmSo I'm gonna write a song and call it Freebird for all these assholes hollering Freebird!
GAnd acting like I give a damn
C BmI know I'm a crazy hack, I probably won't be invited back
G CBut I wasn't making much anyhow
[Verse]
C BmAnd I decided not to sell what little heart that I got left
GThem gigs would surely kill me in time
C BmAnd I believe I'd rather be poor than sing them songs anymore
G CCasting my pearls before these swine
[Bridge]
GNow I sure ain't saying this is a prayer worth praying
CIn fact, its something I could never recommend
GBut you won't never have to fear, singing songs folks wanna hear
CAnd when you're done, they'll all shout amen
GBut it wont have no meaning and them rhymes will be so easy
C Gm CWith no message in your songs, well I've heard so many say it
CYou gotta fake it till you make it but you won't be making nothing at all
[Outro]
