Amaj7 G#m7 How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960 F#m7 E E7 I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall Amaj7 G#m7 D I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall Amaj7 G#m7 How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble F#m7 E E7 That was brewing in the Asian way Amaj7 G#m7 D I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A. D Ddim In the city of the lost and found C#m7 F#m7 It's hard to get a break D Ddim Hard to stop from getting turned around C#m7 F#7 And make the same mistakes Chorus: A E/G# My reputation's on the line F#m7 E The final day of '59 A E/G# But like the sun, just watch me shine D Today How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso I practiced 61 minutes a day I could never reach the keys But it was all OK How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother That could brighten up the darkest nights It's just another sign of love Whenever we would fight It's all the same twenty years ago As it is right now Like a tour at the closing show When I take my bow Chorus: My reputation's on the line At the start of '79 But like the sun, just watch me shine Today I've played this part so many times Since the end of '59 But like the sun, just watch me shine Today You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Amaj7  C#m7  D  Ddim  E  E7  F#7  F#m7  G#  G#m7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
