A SHOWMAN'S LIFE
AARON LEWIS
CAPO: 1st FRET
Intro
[D] [A] [Bm] [D] [G] [D/F#] [Em7]
Verse
[D] [A]
A showman's life is a smoky bar
[Bm] [D] [G]
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
[Bm] [A] [G]
It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
[D] [A]
From what I've seen of a showman's life
Chorus
N.C. [D] [D] [G]
Nobody told me about this part
[D]
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine
[A]
And the money
[D]
And the good times
[G]
And no mention of all the wear and tear
[Bm] [A] [G] [D/F#] [Em]
On an old honky-tonker's heart
[D] [A]
Well, I mighta known it
[D] [D] [A]
But nobody told me about this part
Verse
N.C. [D] [A]
A boy will dream as children do
[Bm] [A] [G]
Of a Great White Way 'til the dream comes true
[Bm] [G]
And a phony smile and a colored light
[D] [A]
Is all it is to a showman's life
Chorus
[D] [D] [G]
