The Great Pretender piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5Eb72 BPMThe Platters
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

pretendin' I'm doin' well.

My need is such, I pretend too much;

I'm lonely, but no one can tell.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

adrift in a world of myown.

I play the game, but to my real shame,

you'veleft me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of makebelieve,

too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

just laughin' and gay like a clown.

I seem to be whatI'm not,

you see;

I'm wearin' my heart like a crown,

pretendin' that you're still aroun'.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

pretendin' I'm doin' well.

My need is such, I pretend too much;

I'm lonely, but no one can tell.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

adrift in a world of myown.

I play the game, but to my real shame,

you'veleft me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of makebelieve,

too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,

just laughin' and gay like a clown.

I seem to be whatI'm not,

you see;

I'm wearin' my heart like a crown,

pretendin' that you're still aroun'.

Oh, roun'.
