Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane,  but the memory  remains.
Heavy  rings on fingers wave, another star denies the grave.
 See the nowhere  crowd cry the nowhere cheers  of honor.
 Like twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole.
 And dim the light of an already faded  prima  donna.
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane,  but the memory  remains.
Heavy  rings hold cigarettes up to lips that time forgets.
 While the  Hollywood sun sets, behind your back.
 And can't the band play on, just listen, they play my song.
Ash  to ash, dust  to dust, fade  to black
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
 Dance little  tin godd-ess.
 La da da  da, da da da,  la da  da da (4 x)
Drift  away, fade  away, little  tin goddess.
Ash  to ash, dust  to dust, fade  to black.
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane.
 but the memory  remains
Ash  to ash, dust  to dust, fade  to black.
 but the memory  remains
 Yeah! To the faded dreams  encountered.
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Dance little  tin godd-ess dance.
 La da da  da, da da da,  la da  da da (9 x)
