While the music played you (G)worked by candlelight those (F)San Francisco nights.

You were the best in town.

at your Technicolor® motor home.

(Am)Just by chance you crossed the (G)diamond with the pearl.

You (F)turned it on the world;

and you'd go it alone.

Did you feel like (Am)Jesus?

Did you (F)realize

(G)that you were a champion in their (F)eyes?

(Am)On the hill the stuff was (G)laced with kerosene,

but (F)yours was kitchen clean.

Ev'ryone stopped to stare at your Technicolor® motor home.

(Am)Ev'ry Aframe had your (G)number on the wall.

You (F)must have had it all;

you'd go to L

A on a dare and you'd go it alone.

Could you live (Am)forever?

Could you see the (F)day?

(G)Could you feel your whole pion in their (F)eyes?

I think things the (Bb7)people down the hall know who you are.

(G)Son, you (G7)were (Am)mistaken, you are (F)obsolete;
