INTRO: C - G - C - G
 
             C (x32010@1)                 F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)Her name was Stella, and she was old and gray 
              G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)She had rusty strings and keys 
                          F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)And to tune her it took a pair of pliers 
            G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)And lots of elbow grease  

 
    F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)She awakened me to the melody 
         F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)       FC F (133211@1)Like the light from a brand new dawn 
          C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)From that moment on 
C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)It was all for the sake of the song 
 

             C (x32010@1)             F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)Her name was Maggie, she had eyes like fire  
                G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)That burned for me in the dark 
                      F (133211@1)  C (x32010@1)All she wanted was my very soul 
                  G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)And all she could take from my heart 
 

F (133211@1)                 C (x32010@1)But to her dismay a choice was made 
F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)      FC F (133211@1)And when that deed was done 
    C (x32010@1)              F (133211@1)She turned and I was gone 
C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)It was all for the sake of the song 
C (x32010@1)                     F (133211@1)     G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road 
                    F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold 
                   F (133211@1)              G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know 
               F (133211@1)                       G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song  
 

             C (x32010@1)                F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)Her name was Laura, and she was pure like crystal 
        G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)Shinin' alone on the shelf 
                             F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)And from the moment that her eyes met mine 
                       G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)I knew there could be nobody else 
 

        F (133211@1)                           C (x32010@1)Kindred souls singin? free in perfect harmony 
    F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)    FC F (133211@1)Two hearts beat now as one 
              C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)The road goes on and on 
         C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)       
And it?s all for the sake of the song 
C (x32010@1)                     F (133211@1)     G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road 
                    F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold 
                   F (133211@1)              G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know 
               F (133211@1)                       G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song  
 

            C (x32010@1)Her name is Stella
