Whatever Happened To Benny Santini

Em           C                               G C G C G
They say his chances could not have been better
        Em                C                   G C G C G
All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky
Am                      G
Laughing at the peering faces
         C               G
From the windows of a limousine
C               G         Em                D
Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens
G C             G         C
    So whatever happened?


(AS ABOVE)
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of silver arrows 
They tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips designed and ready to be sold


   C                  G
They say he could not fall off
  C                   G
They say he could not fail
   C                      G
The wealth and fame would fire his flame
        Em                   D
Just as soon as his ship set sail
G C            G        C 
   So whatever happened?


            G     C             G      C
Whatever happened   to Benny Santini?
            G     C                   G       C     
Whatever happened   to the guy on the wall?
             G     C                 G         C
Where did he go to   if he could not fall of
                   G          C
They tell you they don't know
                    G  C
They don't know at all
