Sold My Soul Chords

[Intro]
A   G# G  D  F#m  Em  Bm  A
 
[Verse 1]
G
Well, somebody found it somewhere
D               F#m
at an old flea market fair
Em         Bm         A
with no number on the tag
 
G
Let it go for half a dollar
D                F#m
well they didn't even bother
Em         Bm           A
to wrap it up inside a bag
 
[Verse 2]
G
I was drinkin' gasoline
D                 F#m
in a half-priced limousine
Em        Bm       A
watchin' TV in the back
 
G
When much to my surprise,
D            F#m
when I hit Channel 5,
Em      Bm         A
nearly had a heart attack
 
[Chorus]
D                            G
I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
              D
Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
                G
I was young and I didn't know
          D      A         Bm
Oh, til I saw it late one night
        A       G
on the Antique Road Show
A#       Gm            A
Expert collectors to appraise
 
G A
 
[Verse 3]
G
Well, the trip that I was on
D            F#m
like a rerun marathon
Em       Bm            A
of blue days and black nights
 
G
Where the Marlboro angels play
D                 F#m
for the men like birds of prey
Em            Bm             A
'neath the masthead burning bright
 
[Verse 4]
G
I saw it on display
D               F#m
Like imitation Faberge
Em     Bm             A
ogled by the mid-life herds
 
G
Yeah, the signal came on through
D          F#m
like a bad dream come true
Em          Bm           A
Leaves you at a loss for words
 
[Chorus]
D                            G
I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
              D
Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
                G
I was young and I didn't know
          D      A         Bm
Oh, til I saw it late one night
        A       G
on the Antique Road Show
A#           Gm            A
Like looking into my own grave
 
G A
 
[Verse 5]
G
Now I'm commercial grade
D            F#m
fit for the Wall Street trade
Em        Bm                A
swimming with the price of gold
 
G
Commemoration baseball cards,
D             F#m
courtesy of Scotland Yard,
Em       Bm              A
dug up from the days of old
 
[Verse 6]
G
Ring mottled cathedral glass,
D             F#m
hand-written leaves of grass,
Em   Bm              A
certified and guaranteed
 
G                              D
Well, they're throwing it all away
  F#m              Em
I may get it back someday
Bm                  G
They just can never see
D                     A
what it could mean to me
 
[Chorus]
D                            G
I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
              D
Oh, I didn't think too much at the time
                G
I was young and I didn't know
          D      A         Bm
Oh, til I saw it late one night
        A       G
on the Antique Road Show
A#       Gm               A
Just to see what I could raise
 
G A
 
[Verse 7]
G
So what's it gonna be?
D           F#m
You want a piece of me?
Em        Bm              G     D A G
Could it help to ease the pain?
 
G
Can you tell me so?
D           F#m
'Cause I'd like to know
Em      Bm              G     D A G
if you have been entertained
 
[Verse 8]
G
By a funeral song
D         F#m
for even half as long
Em        Bm            G     D A G
as your attention span allows
 
G
Can you tell me so?
D           F#m
'Cause I'd like to know
Em      Bm              G     D A G
if you have been entertained
