[Ebm] My ultimate aim [Em] in life was [G] never to be a pop star.
Why a song about Brian Jones?
Oh God, you always ask questions that demand an hour's answer, don't you?
He was the goat, the goat of Pan, the [A] scapegoat, the victim, the goat that [G] sacrificed,
the [A] symbol of his whole age of the 60s, [G] and all the good things and [A] the beautiful things,
and [E] all of the terrible things and the nightmares.
[Cm]
[G] [C] [G]
You [C] are fascinated from people [G] who are destined to sacrifice, why?
Because I feel like one.
And no one has killed you.
It's just [Am] luck.
[G]
[Am] You're like Gary [G] Gilmore a lot.
Not anymore.
[A] I've got more [Bm] subtle.
You're [C] like Charles Manson.
Not [G] anymore.
[Cm] You've changed a lot.
[G] I like Brian Jones.
[C] [G]
And [Gm] the young generation [G] have no history.
That's another reason that we're doing songs like this.
We're trying to make them understand that the 60s actually was very important,
and what was important most was that things were open.
There was an openness.
Anything was [A] possible, [G] and [A] if you arranged a song, there was no logic [G] necessary.
If you suddenly [A] decided to have a hundred people scream, you just [Bm] did it.
And [C] that's why the music was [G] exciting.
Whereas now, [Cm] everyone accepts the formula before they begin [G] to write a song.
[C] And that's just very sad.
[G] And young people today are being trained to be more and more stupid and ignorant of their own history.
[C] And I think culture is very [G] important.
For example, people don't know anything about Brian [Cm] Jones.
They don't know that Brian Jones was [G] in the Rolling Stones,
that he was the founder of the Rolling Stones,
that he was the man behind the Rolling Stones,
that he was the only real Rolling Stones,
and Caress, she's dancing in the song.
You [Bb] like that one?
Yeah, I like it a lot.
So you see, your [Ab] advice went home.
You said, we've got to be nice.
Stop being nice.
[A] Yeah, I'm planning to put images on this.
You're going to do a video to go with it.
[G]
[C]
[G] This is a story, a very special story.
[G]
It's about [C] Brian [G] Jones, one of [C] the Rolling [G] Stones.
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
Where were you [A] when the stars went out?
[G]
Where were you [Am] when they started to shine?
[G] I saw [Am] you alone by the pool
[Em]
And all your [C] friends called you a [G] fool
I was so [C] alone
[G]
I was [C] so alone
[G] You [C] [Em]
[C] [G]
[Am] were so beautiful
[G]
You [Am] were so very special
[G]
I wish [Am] I was with you now
[Em]
I wish [C] I could save you somehow
[G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
And [C] [G]
where were all your [Am] friends that night?
[G]
As you switched off [Am] the final light
[G]
I saw your [Am] body in the mirror
[Em]
Like a lamb [C] going to the slaughter
[G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
I was so [C]
alone
[G]
[Dm] [E]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] I [G]
was so [C] alone
I was [G] so [C] [G] alone
And where were all of [Am] your laughing friends?
[G]
Where were they [Am] at the very end?
[G]
They started [Am] to steal your glory
[Em]
They never [C] even told your story
[G] They [C] [G]
[C] [G]
never [C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] even [G]
