Tonart: G minor
Verse 1
Em
The 60s were vibrant,
enchanting and hip
D
Esus4
They came from all over
D
Esus4
to jump on the trip
Bm
A
The prettiest girls from Des
Moines everywhere
Em
Arriving on Woodstock like
Bm
Em
succulent pears
The music was magic,
the crowds did applaud,
Bm
D
the boys on the stage elevated to gods,
Bm
A
their sweat an elixir from
heaven distilled,
Em
the girls gave their bodies
Bm
Em
like vessels to fill.
Cocaine, amphetamines, whiskey and smack
Esus4
Bm
no one ever looks back
A
Jet planes, limos and movie star friends
Em
Who ever thought that the
Bm
Em
party would end?
G
You see them out shopping,
wearing fake stones
Bm
All facing fifty and living alone
Em
Life never turned out
the way that they thought
C
Somehow the great novel
they lived lost the plot
Em
G
These rock and roll ladies,
courtesan queens
Bm
Whose beauty inspired
every hit song we sing
for the love they exchanged
D
They slipped through the
shadows unclaimed
Some married their idols
But soon were dismayed
Bm
In the cold light of day
They could see feet of clay
A
These rock and roll kings,
when they showed their cards,
Em
Were nothing but pygmies
Bm
Em
without their guitars.
And when the bands broke up,
as bands always will,
Bm
The girls waited tables
to pay all the bills.
A
They'd come home exhausted
and pregnant again,
Em
Only to find their men
Bm
Em
cheating on them.
Some found their voices
when they saw the truth
D
Bm
Some made bad choices
and squandered their youth
A
They look at the mirror and
just see a clock
Em
Some have so much anger
Bm
Em
they hardly can talk
G
You see them out shopping,
Bm
All facing fifty and living alone
Em
Life never turned out the way
that they thought
C
Somehow the great novel
they lived lost the plot
Em
G
These rock and roll ladies,
courtesan queens
Bm
Whose beauty inspired
every hit song we sing
for the love they exchanged
D
They slipped through the
shadows unclaimed
You
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
