What Have They Done to My Song, Ma - chords, tab and comments


Melanie found her platform early, and has stayed there ever since. She's never been controversial enough nor commercial enough to be a star. She's just been writing good songs and performing them well her own way all the time. But outside of music business she has succeeded: "People With Money" reports her to be the highest-paid singer in the world; she owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings and so on.
This one was first released on her third album "Candles in the Rain" (1970). It is probably her best known song, and is translated into several languages.
