VERSE 1 (picking similar to outro without the G-riff):

         Dsus2        Dsus2/F#     G           Dsus2
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
             Bm                   Asus2        G        G
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
       Dsus2         Dsus2/F#  G                 Dsus2
As for me and little Casey,    we still make the circuit
     Bm                Asus2        G       G
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
    Em              Em               Asus2     Asus2
And she still asks about you all the time;
      Em             Em              Asus2     A[stop]
And I guess we never even cross your mind.


 (Strum rest of song until outro, ad lib sus2 and sus4
  on the D and A chords. When there are two consecutive
  bars of D as below, the bass player is emphasizing an
  F# bass for the second bar.)


CHORUS
             D              D/F#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
        G               D
And the way you used to ride out
        D                    D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
         A          Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
             D                 D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
           G               D
But as for me I've come to know
     D                  A           D       Dx  D[stop]
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.


VERSE 2:

          D                 D/F#
Well, old Red, he's getting older,
         G           D
And last Saturday he stumbled
        Bm                Asus2           G       G
But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
       D                  D/F#
Little Casey, she's still growing,
          G              D
And she's started asking questions
            Bm               Asus2            G      G
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
Em                        Em         Asus2     Asus2
Her birthday came and you never even called;
  Em             Em                 Asus2      A[stop]
I guess we never cross your mind at all.


SECOND CHORUS:

             D              D/F#
But then sometimes I think about you,
        G               D
And the way you used to ride out
        D                    D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
         A          Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
             D                 D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
           G               D
But as for me I've come to know
     D                  A           D       Dx  D
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.

BRIDGE:

     Bm              A               G       G
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
      Bm                 A            G        G
And I guess that we were only in your way.
        D                     F#m(A?)        G        G
But someday, I'm sure, you're gonna know the cost;
          Em             Em                     Asus2 A[stop]
Cause for everything you win, there's something lost.

FINAL CHORUS (slowly):

             D              D/F#
But, oh, sometimes I think about you,
        G               D
And the way you used to ride out
        D                    D/F#
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
         A          Asus4 A
With the sunlight on your hair;
             D                 D/F#
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
           G               D
But as for me I've come to know
     D                  A           D   Dx D   G   Gx G
Everything that glitters.... is not gold,      ooooooooh
     D                  A[stop]
Everything that glitters........
  (a cappella, chord would be D on "gold")
......... is not gold
