              D                    Am                              C

          2nd Verse
          In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
               G               D                    Am                   C

    Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming               Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
         G                                                   D           Am

                                    Didn't make sense not to live for fun
                         C          G                                              D

    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb        So much to do so much to see
    Am                                             C     G                              D

    So what's wrong with taking the back streets              You'll never know if you don't go
              Am                                   C               G

               Chorus
               You'll never shine if you don't glow                      Hey now you're an all star get your game on, go play
    D          Am                                             C          G

              (C#°)                                                      Hey now you're a rock star get the show on get paid
              C                                              C           G

              (C#°)                                                           And all that glitters is gold
              C                                                    C          G

                                         3rd Verse
         (C#°)                           Only shooting stars break the mold
         C                               C                         G         F               C

    It's a cool place and they say it gets colder   You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
         G                              D           Am

                    But the media men beg to differ                 Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
         C               G                              D           Am

                                         The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
                              C               G                                              D

    The waters getting warm so you might as well swim              My world's on fire how about yours
    Am                                                       C     G                              D

    Chorus
    That's the way I like it and I never get bored                 Hey now you're an all star get your game on, go play (C#°)
    Am                                                  C          G                              C

                                                    Hey now you're a rock star get the show on get paid (C#°)
                                        C           G                              C

                                                         And all that glitters is gold (C#°)
                                              C          G                         C

                    Chorus
                    Only shooting stars break the mold                             Hey now you're an all star get your game on, go play
                    C                         G         F               C          G

              (C#°)                                                      Hey now you're a rock star get the show on get paid
              C                                              C           G

              (C#°)                                                           And all that glitters is gold
              C                                                    C          G

         C                               C                         G         F               C

    Somebody once asked, could you spare some change for gas
    G              D                          Am                                        C

    D                         Am                             C                G         D

                                              Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
              Am              C                    G                                                   D

Smash Mouth - All Star (Official Music Video)

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
