True
Grief (zack26)
Daniel usually throws in bass note runs
connecting the chords in the verses:
C (bass:
C-C-D-D#) E7 (bass: E-E-D-C) Am
D7 (bass: D-Db)
C
E7
Once upon a stage
Am
D7
An
evening of praise
C
E7
the public has come to see
Am
D7
the saddest singer
C
F C F
(continue
C E7 Am D7 progression)
And he’s playing,
playing the song
and it’s a classic
and his
fingers, fingers are bleeding
and his heart is aching out
loud
C
F
C
F
And the people are clapping and clapping and clapping and
clapping
C
F
C
F
and the song he is playing just goes on and
on and on
(continue C F C

and it seems like it will never stop
then
everybody gets up and does a hop – yeah
C
F7 C F7 (solo around
notes C-Eb-F)
(verse: C E7 Am
D7)
Then the entertainer
chained to the
piano
gives a nervous grin
to the massive crowd
C
F C
F
He says here’s
one about the day I really broke my heart
(continue C
F C F)
and he sheds a tear, the
audience applauds
everyone shouting – he’s so sincere
I
can’t believe he’s here
C
E7
Then
he does his famous
Am
D7 (bass: D-C-B-A)
song of sorrow
C
F C
F
and his melody of pain
D Daug
and he
bows
G
Gaug
and the curtain
falls
C E7
And the white
in his eyes
Am
D
is reflecting light from the ceiling
C E7
as
he prays alone
Am D
a
silent prayer to his lover
C
whom he lost
E7
whom he sings about
Am
D
whom he
thinks about all the time
Am
E
he sits for a
little bit
Am
D Daug G
and
then he writes another hit – ohhhh
C
F7 C F7 (solo to end)
