Roger Creager, All For The Sake Of The Song Tabs

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


CHORUS
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
