The last Badfinger cover I will do. (Promise!) This is another song off of Straight up and I really enjoy it. Unfortunately I had to try and play piano always a laugh.
Lyrics
THE NAME OF THE GAME
BADFINGER - FROM THE ALBUM "STRAIGHT UP"
VERSE 1
A Bm F#m C#m
I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
D A G D
I said would you go much faster if you thought that you would die
A Bm F#m C#m
he said not me sir i could not care, in fact i would not try
D A G D
protest would not take me far, it's different me not being a star
B D A
lock my feelings in a jar, until another day
VERSE 2
A Bm F#m C#m
oh comfort me dear brother won't you tell me what you know
D A G D
somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
A Bm F#m C#m
oh long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
D A G D
and take your babies to your breast, NO we never passed the test
B D A
and all our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
E Bm G D A
A
oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me, you'll follow my shame
E Bm G D A
Oh don't, confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game
VERSE 3
A Bm F#m C#m
I got up off my pillow, and I looked up at the sun
D A G D
I said, you can see quite clearly now, the things that we have done
A Bm F#m C#m
We burned your sacred willow, and our battles we have won
D A G D
How did we get so very far? it's different me not being a star
B D A
lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
