Intro:
C  Am, F  G (x2)
Verse 1:
C                          Am
 See you've got the new bi-ography,
F                       G
 Where did they get the info from?
C                     Am
 Same as before; some so-called friends,
F                  G
 Who claim to have known me then.
Verse 2:
C                               Am
 How come they've got such good memories,
     F               G
When I can't even re-member last week?
C                              Am
 Got to question where they're coming from,
F                                G
 What knowledge of me is it that they speak?
Bridge 1:
   C         Am
So far away, way back when,
    F                         G
The people that claim to have known me then.
Chorus 1:
C                                      Am
 They're not on my wavelength and it's such a shame,
F                           G
 That they have to play the name game.
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F                           G
Lord, it's a cryin' shame, Lord, tell me what's to blame?
Verse 3:
C                   Am
 Reinvented all the stories they know,
F                G
 Give them all a different slant.
C                               Am
 What is it that they're really looking for?
F                    G
 Just a hobby on the internet.
Bridge 2:
   C         Am
So far away, way back when,
    F                         G
The people that claim to have known me then.
Chorus 2:
C                                      Am
 They're not on my wavelength and it's such a shame,
F                           G
 That they have to play the name game.
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F                           G
Lord, it's a cryin' shame, Lord, tell me what's to blame?
Sax Solo:
C  Am, F  G (x2)
Break:
Am
 If they didn't really know me way back,
             F              G
How can they know me now in any respect?
Am
 It's a pity they don't feel the pain,
          F                       G
That they should pay the price to play, to play...
Chorus 3:
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F                           G
Lord, it's a cryin' shame, Lord, tell me what's to blame?
Chorus 4:
C                                      Am
 They're not on my wavelength and it's such a shame,
F                  G
 That they have to play, have to play...
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F
Lord, it's a cryin' shame,
              G
Lord, tell me what's to blame? They keep on playin'...
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F
Lord, it's a cryin' shame,
              G
Lord, tell me what's to blame? They keep on playin'...
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F
Lord, it's a cryin' shame,
              G
Lord, tell me what's to blame? They keep on playin'...
    C                  Am
The fame game, oh, the name game.
             F
Lord, it's a cryin' shame,
              G
Lord, tell me what's to blame? They keep on playin'...
