VERSE 1:
G G C G
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
Em Bm Am Am
Guess you’re still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
G G C G
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
Em Bm Am Am
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
C C D D
She still asks about you all the time;
G Em A A [stop]
And I guess we never even cross your mind.
CHORUS:
G G
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
C G
and the way you used to ride out
G G
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
D D
with the sunlight on your hair;
G Bm
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
C G
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.
G G
But then sometimes I think about you,
C G
and the way you used to ride out
G G
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
D D
with the sunlight on your hair;
G Bm
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
C G
but as for me I’ve come to know
D A D D
Everything that glitters…. is not gold.
BRIDGE:
Em Bm Am Am
Everybody said you’d make it big someday,
Em Bm Am Am
And I guess that we were only in your way.
G Bm Am C
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):
G G
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
C G
and the way you used to ride out
G G
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
D D
with the sunlight on your hair;
G Bm
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
C G
but as for me I’ve come to know
G D G C
Everything that glitters…. is not gold, ooooooooh
D A [stop] D [stop]
Everything that glitters…………….. is not gold
