The Who - Success Story: chords

  D               G          F
Friday night, I'm on my way home
      D
They oughta make work a crime
                  G     F
I'm home for the weekend
           D
I'm gonna make the most of my time
           G                   F               D
There's a rock-and-roll singer on the television
       G                    F              D
Giving up his music, gonna take up religion

Deserted rock and roll to try to save his soul

Saturday night, gotta gig with the band
Playing the electric guitar
Someday I'm gonna make it
Gonna be a super-duper-star
Get a big flashy car
And a house for my mum
The big break better happen soon
'Cause I'm pushing twenty-one

Chorus:
 G
Just like Cinderella
                       D#         C
When she just couldn't go to the ball
               G
A voice said, "I'm your fairy manager
           D#      C
You shall play at Carnegie Hall."
G          D#     C
Gotta give up my day job
G     D#     C
To become a heartthrob
G  D#     C      G D#          D
I may go far if I smash my guitar

Away for the weekend
I've gotta play some one-night stands
Six for the tax man, and one for the band
Back in the studio to make our latest number one
"Take two-hundred-and-seventy-six"
You know, this used to be fun

Monday morning, I just got home
It's six and the birds are singin'
I need a drink and my clothes are wet
Ooh, and my ears are still ringin'
There's a rock and roll singer boppin' on the TV
He used to be a preacher,
but now he sings in a major key

Amended his decision to the new religion
