A Showman's Life
By George Strait

Capo 3
[D] [A] [Bm] [Bm/A] [G] [G/F#] [Em]
A showman's [D]life is a smokey [A]bar
And the fevered [Bm]chase of a [Bm/A]tiny [G] star
It's a hotel [Bm]room and a [Bm/A]lonely [G] wife
[D] [A] [D]
Chorus:
[G]They told me all about the [D]pretty girls
And the [D]wine and the [A]money and the [D]good times
There's no [G]mention of all the wear and tear
On an [Bm]old honky [A]tonker's [G]heart[G/F#][Em]
Well [D]I might of known it
But [A]nobody told me about [D]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
