Songwriter

[A]They won't play my music no i'm [Fm]never comin' back
[G]I made too many boasts along the [D]way
[A]And its a cold, long lonely [D]day

[A]Let me share your fire and I'll [Fm]sing a song for you
[G]Funny calls to only have this [D]song
[A]and if you want, I'll move [D]on

[A]The songwriter can make you laugh or [D]cry
[A]He's pumping gas at night just to [D]survive
[A]And all he asks is for you to sing his [D]songs
[G]And put his name in [D]lights where it [A]belongs

A - D  *2.

[A]I used to have a family
[Fm]A wife and three small kids
[G]I couldn't give them anything they [D]need
I guess I'm a [A]long way from being a [D]man

[A]Hey there Mr. Gershwin
[Fm]Gone at thirty eight
[G]Gave so much and yet so much to [D]give
[A]And I thank you for the Ratcity in [D]Blue
[G]And I must confess [D]sometimes I think of [A]you

[A]the songwriter can make you laugh of [D]cry
[A]He's pumping gas a night just to [D]survive
[A]And all he asks is for you to sing his [D]song
[G]And put his name in [D]lights where it [A]belongs
