C F C C7 F C C7
Oh yes, I'm the Great Pretender, pretending that I'm doing well
F G C F C G C G7
My need is such, I pretend too much, I'm lonely but no one can tell
C F C C7 F C C7
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, adrift in a world of my own
F G C F C G C C7
I play the game, but to my real shame, you've left me to dream all alone
F C C7
Too real is this feeling of make believe
F C G
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
C F C C7 F C C7
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown
F G C F
I seem to be, what I'm not, you see
C G E7 C G C C7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that you're still around
F C C7
Too real is this feeling of make believe
F C G
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
C F C C7 F C C7
Yes, I'm the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown
F G C F C G E7//// /
I seem to be, what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown
pretending that you're still around
F C
still around

[@pegtan3236]

Love your rendition!! What is the strumming pattern pls?

[@hksansei]

There is a link to a video explaining the strum in this video's description. I found this one a little difficult to describe just using downs and ups. Thanks for watching our videos.

[@AnBerfelo]

brilliant I just couldn't figure out the strum pattern. Could you please translate it into Downs and Ups for me?❤🎶🌷

[@ukedom2577]

In this video’s description is a link to a video explaining the strum. Let me know if that video does enough to explain the strum. Thanks!
