Everything that glitters (is not gold) (video)

C - Em - Am - G - F

1. Saw your picture on a poster, in a café out in Phoenix,

Am G F

guess you're still the sweet heart of the rodeo.

C F C

As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit

Am G F

in a one horse trailer and a mobile home.

Dm G

And she still asks about you all the time,

Dm G

and I guess we never even cross your mind.

C

But, oh, sometimes I think about you

F C

and the way you used to ride out

C

in your rhinestones and your sequins,

G

with the sunlight on your hair.

C

And, oh, the crowd will always love you,

F C

but as for me I've come to know,

C - G C

everything that glitters is not gold.

2. Well, old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled,

Am G F

but you know I just can't bear to let him go.

C F C

Little Casey she's still growing and she's started asking questions,

Am G F

and there's certain things a man just doesn't know.

Dm G

Her birthday came and you never even called,

Dm G

I guess we never cross your mind at all.

+ CHORUS

Am G F

+ Everybody said you'd make it big someday,

Am G F

and I guess that we were only in your way.

C G F

But someday I'm sure your gonna know the cost,

Dm G

’cause for everything you win there's something lost.

C

But, oh, sometimes I think about you

F C

and the way you used to ride out

C

in your rhinestones and your sequins,

G

with the sunlight on your hair.

C

And, oh, the crowd will always love you,

F C

but as for me I've come to know,

C - G C - F

everything that glitters is not gold.

C - G C

Everything that glitters is not gold.
