The Great Pretender
recorded by the Platters
written by Buck Ram
 

G             D7        G
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
   C                      G
Pretending that I'm doing well
   C       D7         G        C
My need is such  I pretend too much
    G          D7         G
I'm lonely but no one can tell
 
               D7       G
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
  C                      G
A drift in a world of my own
  C        D7          G       C
I play the game but to my real shame
       G         D7         G
You've let me to dream all alone
 
    C                       G
Too real is this feeling of make believe
    C
Too real when I feel
        D7
What my heart can't conceal
 
G              D7       G
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
     C                       G
Just laughing and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G       C
I seem to be what I'm not you see
    G          D7           G
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
                D7            G
Pretending that you're still around
 
    C                       G
Too real is this feeling of make believe
    C
Too real when I feel
        D7
What my heart can't conceal
 
G              D7       G
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
     C                       G
Just laughing and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G       C
I seem to be what I'm not you see
    G          D7           G
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
                D7            G
Pretending that you're still around

This is the group that made "Smoke gets in Your Eyes", "My Prayer", "Only You" and many more. They are just superb in my opinion, not totally country but it's beautiful music. These The Great Pretender lyrics and chords will help you learn to play and sing this super classic.
