"On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show (lyrics by Shel Silverstein)

[A] Well, were big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we [E] go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At [E7] ten thousand dollars a [A]show

We take all kind of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never [D] known
Is the [E] thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

Rolling [E]Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover
[A]Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
[E]Stone
Gonna see my smilin' face
On the [D] cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

I got a freaky old lady, name of Cocaine Katy,
Who embroideries on my [E] jeans
I got my poor old, grey-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 getcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

Rolling [E]Stone
Wanna see our pictures on the cover
[A] Stone
Gonna buy five copies for our mothers
[E] Stone
Gonna see my smilin' face
On the [D]cover of the Rolling [A]Stone

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'll do anything we [E] say
We got a genuine Indian guru,
Who's [E7]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]Stone

Rolling [E]Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover
[A]Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
[E]Stone
Gonna see my smilin' face
On the [D] cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

[E]Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover
[A]Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
[E]Stone
Gonna see my smilin' face
On the [D] cover of the Rolling [A] Stone

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