[Verse 1]
A                                        B
Well, you heard about the Great Pretender?
A                                      B
I went to see him and he's not the same
A                                          B
Down by the club on the parking lot cinders
A
I was to meet him and play his game


[Chorus]
D
Yonder stands the sinner
            E            E/F#  G
He calls my name without a    sound

[Verse 2]
A                                 B
I saw his face in the attic window
A                                  B
Yelling down through the broken pane
A                               B
Sinner man! What you got to run for?
A
Church bells rang when he said that name


[Chorus]
D
Yonder stands the sinner
            E            E/F#  G   B
He calls my name without a    sound


[Verse 3]
A                                       B
Well, I was about as scared as I could be
A                                     B
I went and hid behind the nearest tree
A                                    B
I peeked out from behind the branches
A
Sinner!


[Chorus]
D
Yonder stands the sinner
            E            E/F#  G
He calls my name without a    sound
   B   A
To get down

D                         B
Guess you heard about the Great Pretender?
D                          B       E
I went to see him and he's not the same
D                         B
Guess you heard about the Great Pretender?
D                          B       E   A7
I went to see him and he's not the same
