G Cadd9
HE BOUGHT A FLAT-TOP, DOWN AT A PAWN SHOP
G D
SPENT EVERY WEEKEND, PLAYIN THEM BARS
G Cadd9
ONE NIGHT A BIG WHEEL, CAME DOWN FROM NASHVILLE
G D G
GAVE HIM A DEAL AND HE MADE HIM ASTAR
Cadd9
HE WENT FROM RAGS TO RICHES, FARM TO FAME
G D
FROM DIGGIN DITCHES, TO CARVIN OUT A NAME
Cadd9
HE'LL STAND IN THE SPOTLIGHT, TIL THE LIGHT GOES DIM
G D G
THEN IT'S, RAGS TO RICHES, TO RAGS AGAIN
HE'S HAD SOME TOP TENS, SOME BILLBOARD AWARD WINS
OUT ON THE ROAD, HE HAD A COUPLE GOOD YEARS
IT WAS LIFE IN THE FAST-LANE, WOMEN AND COCAINE
TIL HIS 15 MINUTES, HAD ALL DISAPPEARED
HE WENT FROM RAGS TO RICHES, FARM TO FAME
FROM DIGGIN DITCHES, TO THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS YOUR NAME
HE'LL STAND IN THE SPOTLIGHT, TIL THE LIGHT GOES DIM
G D Cadd9
THEN IT'S, RAGS TO RICHES, TO RAGS AGAIN
Cadd9 Bm
YEAH EVERYBODY KNOWS, THATS JUST THE WAY IT GOES
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
A STAR IS BORN, A STAR BURNS OUT
Cadd9 G Cadd9 D
WHAT GOES UP THE CHARTS, MUST COME DOWN
HE GOT HIS FLAT-TOP, OUT OF THE PAWN SHOP
I SEE HIS OLD CAR, UP AND DOWN MUSIC ROW
HE TELLS HIS FRIENDS THAT, HE'S PLANNIN A COME BACK
MAN THESE DAYS, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW
YOU GO FROM RAGS TO RICHES, FARM TO FAME
FROM DIGGIN DITCHES, TO THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS YOUR NAME
YOU'LL STAND IN THE SPOTLIGHT, TIL THE LIGHT GOES DIM
THEN IT'S, RAGS TO RICHES, TO RAGS TO RICHES, TO RAGS AGAIN
