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
