A Showmans Life Chords

E                B
A showman?s life is a smokey bar 
                C#m             A
And the fevered chase of a tiny star 
             C#m               A
It?s a hotel room and a lonely wife 
               E                   B                         E
From what I?ve seen of a showman?s life nobody told me about this part 
 
 
A                          E
They told me all about the pretty girls 
        E            B             E
And the wine and the money and the good times, 
           A
There?s no mention of all the wear and tear, 
      C#m B              A
On an old honky tonker?s heart 
     E
Well I might of known it, 
   B                     E
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
 
But nobody told me about this part
 
Chorus
 
Well I might of known it
 
But nobody told me about this part
