A Showman's Life
By George Strait
CD: Here For A Good Time - 2011
Tabbed By Larry Mofle
9/10/2011
Capo 3
D A Bm Bm/A G G/F# Em
D A
A showman's life is a smokey bar
Bm Bm/A G
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
Bm Bm/A G
It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
D A D
From what I've seen of a showman's life nobody told me about this part
Chorus:
G D
They told me all about the pretty girls
D A D
And the wine and the money and the good times
G
There's no mention of all the wear and tear
Bm A G G/F# Em
On an old honky tonker's heart
D
Well I might of known it
A D
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman's life nobody told me about this part
Chorus
Solo
Nobody told me about this part
Chorus
Well I might of known it
But nobody told me about this part
