James McGuinn/Chris Hillman (The Byrds)

Intro: F-G (4x)

F    G                F             G
  So you want to be a rock and roll star
     F       G     F      G
Then listen now to what I say
F      G        F          G
  Just get an electric guitar
     F          G       F            G
Then take some time and learn how to play
C               D
  And with your hair swung right
         G                           C
And your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right

F           G        F     G
  Then it's time to go downtown
          F     G         F       G
Where the agent man won't let you down
F           G           F    G
  Sell your soul to the company
        F       G             F       G
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
C          D
  And in a week or two
       G                             C
If you make the charts, the girls'll tear you apart

F               G             F          G
  The price you paid for your riches and fame
       F             G              F        G
Was it all a strange game, you're a little insane
F                G             F        G
  The money, the fame, and the public acclaim
         F            G             F             G
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock and roll star
C          D               G               C
  La la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
