David played his chord to me before he died from poisong,nHe sold the rights and told the Lord that it was just a minor chord.nnSo they rolled the carpet out for me and I walked alone 'til I met the king,nHe asked me to be joining him to play the chord that David did.nnnSome people they play with their heads,nSome people play with their hearts,nOthers, they learn how to steel,nBut David was born with the feel.nnnSo I told the king I'd wear his tights and play the chord that David might,nBut it did not mean that I'd get it right, Cause David played his chord so tight.nnAnd the women flocked instinctively, to feed me grapes and service me,nI became celebrity, used David's chord so carelessly.nnnSome people play with their heads,nSome people play with their hearts,nMe, I just learn how to steal,nBut David was born with the feel.nnnSo I took the cheques for years to come and went and bought myself a gun,nI put it to the mirror hung I hate the man that I'd become.nnBut the one true thing that saved my life,nWas the hand of my true love my wife,nShe stood by me and made me see,nThat I was so caught up in me.nnnWell love will take you by the hand,nLove will tell you where to stand,nYou can't take the life from a lovers smile,nLove is so true she don't lie.nnnSo me, I gave back what I stole,nI gave back the silver and the gold,nI never felt quite right playing that role, nAnd the good lord gave me back my soul.nn
