The Byrds - Live At Monterey: So You Wanna Be A Rock Star chords
Start Jamming...
[Gm] Best remembrance of the Chinese of freedom, flashing.
Keep that in mind.
[G] Like LeRoy said, Zagatort.
[A]
[F#] [G]
[N] If you weren't here this afternoon and you missed Mike [G] Bluefield's group,
you're really out of it, man.
[C#]
[A] [G]
[C#] I love it, though.
We were feeling, particularly Chris Hillman was feeling,
and [F] McGuinn was feeling,
a little cynical about the rock and roll [N] business.
Which at times you can become,
if you watch certain things.
So they wrote a song.
And this cat helped us record it.
And we'd like to ask him to come on stage with us and play.
We'd also like to ask his drummer, one of his two drummers,
who's certainly one of our favorite people.
I don't know if they're here.
Are they?
Yeah?
Huey Masekela and Big [A] Black.

So you wanna be a rock and roll star
[D] Then listen now to [A] what I [G] say
Just get an electric [A] guitar
[G]
Make some style
Learn [A] how to [D] play
And if [E] you don't have no mind
[A] And your pants get [D] tight
It's gonna be alright
[G]
[A] Twenty miles before South Isle
Where the edges snap
Don't let you [G]
[F#m] down
Say you're close [G] to [A] becoming me
You [G] are [A] where these methods [G] shall [A] pass you [D] by
I said, [E] we could do this
If [A] you make the drop
We [D] could do that, you know, fly
