A Showman's Life By George Strait 9/10/2011 Capo 3 DABBGGEm# 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 DAD 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 EmF# 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
