KEY OF E. CAPO 2ND FRET. INTRO: D D Bm Em
VERSE 1:
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
She still asks about you all the time; G Em A A[stop] And I guess we never even cross your mind.
CHORUS:
But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know D A D D[stop] Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
VERSE 2:
Well, old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled But you know I just can't bear to let him go. Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions And there's certain things a man just doesn't know. Her birthday came and you never even called; I guess we never cross your mind at all.
SECOND CHORUS:
But then sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.
BRIDGE:
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
And I guess that we were only in your way.
But someday, I'm sure, you're gonna know the cost; Bm Bm Em A[stop] Cause for everything you win, there's something lost.
FINAL CHORUS (slowly):
But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters.... is not gold, ooooooooh D A[stop] D[stop] Everything that glitters................. is not gold
