…NEW BIOGRAPHY… by Van Morrison
——————-…………….
from ‘Back On Top’ (1999)
CAPO 3rd FRET
(Original Key: Eb)
Intro:
C Am, F G (x2)
Verse 1:
See you’ve got the new bi-
ography,
Where did they get the
info from?
Same as before; some
so-called friends,
Who claim to have
known me then.
Verse 2:
How come they’ve got such good
memories,
When
I can’t even re-
member last week?
Got to question where they’re
coming from,
What knowledge of me is it that
they speak?
Bridge 1:
So
far away,
way back when,
The
people that claim to have
known me then.
Chorus 1:
They’re not on my wavelength and it’s
such a shame,
That they have to play the
name game.
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame, Lord, tell me
what’s to blame?
Verse 3:
Reinvented all the
stories they know,
Give them all a
different slant.
What is it that they’re really
looking for?
Just a hobby on the
internet.
Bridge 2:
So
far away,
way back when,
The
people that claim to have
known me then.
Chorus 2:
They’re not on my wavelength and it’s
such a shame,
That they have to play the
name game.
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame, Lord, tell me
what’s to blame?
Sax Solo:
C Am, F G (x2)
Break:
If they didn’t really know me way back,
How can they
know me now in
any respect?
It’s a pity they don’t feel the pain,
That they
should pay the price to
play, to play…
Chorus 3:
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame, Lord, tell me
what’s to blame?
Chorus 4:
They’re not on my wavelength and it’s
such a shame,
That they have to
play, have to play…
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame,
Lord, tell me
what’s to blame? They keep on playin’…
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame,
Lord, tell me
what’s to blame? They keep on playin’…
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame,
Lord, tell me
what’s to blame? They keep on playin’…
The
fame game, oh, the
name game.
Lord, it’s a
cryin’ shame,
Lord, tell me
what’s to blame? They keep on playin’…
