I figured this out without a capo originally so I had to play around to
find a good pitch. Capo on 4 sounds really close.
I'm not sure about the C to start the chorus, but to differentiate between
verse and chorus I do one hammer-on the D string during the C chord.
CAPO ON 4
INTRO

VERSE 1
Am C
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears,
Am C
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name,
Am C
Something for everyone, try to win prizes,
Am C
Stay young and quiet.
CHORUS
C Am G
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
Em C
Bubbles to the chandelier,
Am G
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint,
Em
Stay behind me.

VERSE 2

Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams,

Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts,

Become millionaires.
CHORUS

In my city, I didn't make a sound,

When I fell over and cracked my crown,

"Stay down, Champion, stay down"

C G Dm F

ENDING
G Am
In my city, I didn't make a sound,
Dm F
When I fell over and cracked my crown,
C
Heard a woman say
G Dm F
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
G Am
But I got up, got in a car,
Dm F
Said "I don't think I'm gonna go very far"
C G Dm
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow,
F
And take me home.
C G Dm F
C
