INTRO: C - G - C - G
Her name was [C]Stella, and she was [F]old and [C]gray
She had rusty [G]strings and [C]keys
And to tune her it took a [F]pair of [C]pliers
And lots of [G]elbow [C]grease
She [F]awakened me to the [C]melody
Like the [F]light from a [C]brand new [F]da[C]wn[F]
From that [C]moment [F]on
[C]It was all for the [G]sake of the [C]song
Her name was [C]Maggie, she had [F]eyes like [C]fire
That burned for [G]me in the [C]dark
All she wanted was my [F]very [C]soul
And all she could [G]take from my [C]heart
[F]But to her dismay a [C]choice was made
[F]And when that [C]deed was [F]do[C]ne[F]
She [C]turned and I was [F]gone
[C]It was all for the [G]sake of the [C]song
[C]And for the sake of the [F]song, I [G]walked my own [C]road
For the sake of the [F]song, not for [G]silver and [C]gold
Some may think I?m [F]wrong, but in my [G]heart I [C]know
I?ve known all [F]along, it was all for the [G]sake of the [C]song
Her name was [C]Laura, and she was [F]pure like [C]crystal
Shinin' [G]alone on the [C]shelf
And from the moment that her [F]eyes met [C]mine
I knew there could be n[G]obody [C]else
Kindred [F]souls singin? free in perfect [C]harmony
Two [F]hearts beat [C]now as [F]on[C]e [F]
The road goes [C]on and [F]on
And it?s [C]all for the [G]sake of the [C]song
[C]And for the sake of the [F]song, I [G]walked my own [C]road
For the sake of the [F]song, not for [G]silver and [C]gold
Some may think I?m [F]wrong, but in my [G]heart I [C]know
