All For The Sake Of The Song

INTRO: C - G - C - G

             C                   F       C
Her name was Stella, and she was old and gray
              G           C
She had rusty strings and keys
                          F       C
And to tune her it took a pair of pliers
            G     C
And lots of elbow grease

    F                  C
She awakened me to the melody
         F            C         F C F
Like the light from a brand new dawn
          C      F
From that moment on
C                  G           C
It was all for the sake of the song

             C               F         C
Her name was Maggie, she had eyes like fire
                G         C
That burned for me in the dark
                      F    C
All she wanted was my very soul
                  G            C
And all she could take from my heart

F                   C
But to her dismay a choice was made
F             C        F C F
And when that deed was done
    C                F
She turned and I was gone
C                  G           C
It was all for the sake of the song
C                       F       G             C
And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road
                    F             G          C
For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold
                   F                G       C
Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know
               F                         G           C
I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song

             C                  F         C
Her name was Laura, and she was pure like crystal
        G            C
Shinin' alone on the shelf
                             F        C
And from the moment that her eyes met mine
                       G     C
I knew there could be nobody else

        F                             C
Kindred souls singin? free in perfect harmony
    F           C      F C F
Two hearts beat now as one
              C      F
The road goes on and on
         C           G           C
And it?s all for the sake of the song
C                       F       G             C
And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road
                    F             G          C
For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold
                   F                G       C
Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know
               F                         G           C
I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song

            C
Her name is Stella
