Dr. Hook, Cover of the Rolling Stone (1972)
^{Key: :[A] (w: Shel Silverstein)}

VERSE 1:
[A] Well we are big rock singers, we've got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we [E] go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth [E7] at ten thousand dollars a [A] show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills, but the thrill we've never [D] known
Is the [E] thrill that'll get you when you get your picture, on the cover of the Rolling [A open] Stone

CHORUS:
[N.C.] Rolling [E] Stone, wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) [A] wanna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone) [E] wanna see my smilin' face
On the [D] cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

VERSE 2:
[A] I've got a freaky old lady called my Cocaine Katy, who embroiders on [E] my jeans
I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy, [E7] drivin' my limou-[A]-sine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds, but our minds won't really be [D] blown
Like the [E] blow that'll get you when you get your picture, on the cover of the Rolling [A open] Stone

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
[A] We got a lot of little teenage, blue-eyed groupies who do anything we [E] say
We got a genuine Indian guru, [E7] who's teachin' us a better [A] way
We got all the friends that money can buy, so we never have to be a-[D] -lone
And we [E] keep gettin' richer, but we can't get our picture on the cover of the Rolling [A open] Stone

REPEAT CHORUS:

On the [D] cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

REPEAT CHORUS:
