--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lonely at the top - Randy Newman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Randy Newman Lonely at the top (1972) (Newman) From: "Sail Away" Here's my try at a guitar version. Such a great song to sing! Makes me feel good I didn't make it to the top after all. Seems to be a horrible place ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUITAR Capo 3rd fret (key: Gm) Intro Em B7 Em B7

You'd think I'd be happy But I'm not [Chorus] Ev'rybody knows my name But it's just a crazy game Oh, it's lonely at the top [Intro] [Middle 8] Listen to the band, they're playing just for me Listen to the people paying just for me [Chorus] All the applause 'n'all the parades And all the money I have made Oh, it's lonely at the top [Link to solo] [Solo] [Chorus] Listen all you fools out there Go on and love me, I don't care Oh, it's lonely at the top [Outro] Oh, it's lonely at the top
