Capo 4
CI am a star in a scene full of Gactors
CWith method, ability, bona fide D7clout
GAnd I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
GWhen I was a boy CI ran through the Gwilderness
Dodging the photos D7and wooing the Gcrowd
I'd carry a rifle Cand save drownin' Gpuppies
And ride off with D7some lovely lady I Gfound
CI am a star in a scene full of aGctors
CWith method, ability, bona fide D7clout
GAnd I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
GI stepped into frame Cat the edge of a Griver
A thousand feet deep D7and a mile Gacross
I gave all I had Cand finally made it Gover
Found out when I got there D7the cameras were Goff
CI am a star in a scene full of aGctors
CWith method, ability, bona fide D7clout
GAnd I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
GTake these D7bright white lights out of my Gvision
Tell the D7onlookers "put your cameras Emaway"Am  
CNo heavy gold trophies will be D7given
CAnd there is no script for what I want to D7say
GNow I am an old man Clonging for Gpeace
A place to sit quiet D7where no one can Gtell
That I ever read Cone line on a Gstage
And the only role D7I play is Gmyself
CI am a star in a scene full of aGctors
CWith method, ability, bona fide D7clout
GAnd I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
CI am a star in a scene full of aGctors
CWith method, ability, bona fide D7clout
GAnd I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
I nailed all my cues, Cand I looked ten years Gyounger
But my famous last scene was D7edited Gout
