All For The Sake Of The Song by Roger Creager

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

 
    F                  C 
She awakened me to the melody 
         F            C         F C F 
Like the light from a brand new dawn 
          C      F 
From that moment on 
C                  G           C 
It was all for the sake of the song 
 

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

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

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

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

            C 
Her name is Stella
