Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Those good natured art[E]ists nev[Am]er gave a hint
of [D]pain and suffer[G]ing
I guess it had a [E]lot to [Am]do
with a good [D]up bringing
[G]Ring the bel[E]l and the dog[Am] comes to sup[D]per
[G]Radio bla[E]sts as we all[Am] share the
[Asus4]same feel[Am]ing[E]
Tomorrow's [G]gonna come

[Verse 2]
Does your [Am]light shine bright on
[E]en tertainment tonight?
[Am]As the cows stand in l[G]ine[Am]
[E]waiting to be [G]a burger
Oh, how they [D]suf[Asus4]fer[G]
Every [E]birthday cake that

[Verse 3]
[Am]ever sat
in front of my [Asus4]face[G]
I was sure [E]I'd make it
[Am]thru [D]to the next year
[G]I've seen all [E]kinds of [Am]things but
Marilyn Monroe was a [Asus4]true star
[G]She was so volup[E]tuous a
[Am]sex god [D]for the [Am]poor
[E]Rocking

[Verse 4]
and reel[G]ing the evening away
As the [Am]TV burns a hole in our mi[E]nds

Take [E]all their pay and [Am]everything's [D]ok

[E]The good loving blessings of [G]the

[Verse 6]
U. S. of A.
Help us [Am]make it through the
darkest of [E]nights

[Verse 7]
[Am]I feel the crumby
[G]side of the show- business life
[E]As promotional papers
[G]fill the wastepaper baskets
As the living ask [D]it why? Oh why, oh why
[G]The audience

[Verse 8]
[E]at the movies
was [Am]restless and [D]tired
[G]It had been go [E]ing on for[Am] about an [D]hour
[G]And no one[E] had cau[A]ght the gist of it yet[D]
[G]The candy and the sod[E]a pop pac[Am]ify the lie[D]
[G]The movie is fak[E]e and it
[Am]in fluences our li[D]ves
[G]And so we [E]learn to act as
[Am]fake as the [D]movie was
[G]We all prac[E]tice and rehearse
in [Am]from of the [Asus4]mir ror[G]
But [E]we're [Am]not really t[D]here
[G]Oh, oh [E]the

[Verse 9]
[Am]sad ness of the [D]earth
[G]Oh,[E] oh the sad[Am] ness of the earth
[D]Only because I [G]love you[E]
[Am]And I'll alw[Asus4]ays be true[D]
Because I [G]love you[E]
[Am]And I'll always be w[D]ith you[G]
Because I love you
