Roll Back The Clouds Guitar Chords

I've been sitting (G)here so long, for you to hear my (C)song,
And all you (D)want to know, have I been on the (G)radio,
Who's the biggest (G)star I've seen, what is my favorite (C)scene,
And if I (D)get the job would I sing on (G)Mars.
Yes Sir I would (G)sing on Mars, I'd play upon a (C)star,
I'd sing (D)songs of the Sun and when my (G)job was done,
I would say I (G)love you so, I'd like to play one (C)more,
Just for (D)all young lovers, for the (G)road.

Chorus:

(C)Tell me Son, yeah (G)just how far,
(C)I need to go to (D)be a star.


I have known my (G)highs and lows, I've worked in every (C)show,
I've played in (D)every town, brought some (G)houses down,
The critics never (D)noticed me, I'm not a star you (C)see,
And yet I (D)give my heart to every (G)part.
I would stand for (G)hours and hours, I'd walk through some (C)showers,
With my (D)dancing shoes and my (G)dreams and views,
I walk upon an (G)empty stage with one light in my (C)face,
To be (D)told don't phone us, but we'll phone (G)you.

Chorus:

(C)Tell me Son, yeah (G)just how far,
(C)I need to go to (D)be a star.


Every day the (G)same old scene, the same old happen(C)ings,
A hundred (D)miles of shows and no (G)place to go,
And when your luck has (G)all run out, you're asked to take a (C)bow,
You've just (D)stolen the show now you're on your (G)own.

Chorus:

(C)Yes Sir I would (G)sing on Mars,
(C)My dream scene is (D)me a star,
Is (D)me a star,
I am a (G)star.
