[Intro]
A G D A
G D A
[Verse 1]
A G Tried busking down in Frisco, tried dancin' in L.A. D A I played the blues in Chicago, boy I ran home in Santa Fe G I played guitar for many men, signed a deal or two D A And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues
[Verse 2]
A G I got hot chicks down in Texas, no work in Alabam' D A Snowed in out on Belibor you were always in a jam G Worked carnivals down in Georgia, night clubs attitude D A And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues
[Bridge]
A G A G A Well the manager's got no money, the bookers had no jobs G A G A The record man he fell asleep, he says I look like a slob G A G A The bus breaks down and the motel's bad you're always in a stew G A G A You can't quit you're too far gone, you got the sho-biz blues
[Piano Solo]
A G D A G D A
[Guitar Solo]
A G D A G D A
[Verse 3]
A G I tried to love the ladies everywhere I went D A When I got down and out they wouldn't ever pay my rent G If you crave your neighbour lights, the spotlight's right on you D A When it's time to get the catch with the sho-biz blues
[Verse 4]
A G Now you can't sleep till two o'clock, you ain't no millionaire D A This entertaining lifestyle just seems to go nowhere G You write a song it seems okay, they say it's nothin' new D A It don't take long to find you've got the sho-biz blues
[Outro]
G A G A Sho-biz blues, sho-biz blues G A G A Sho-biz blues, sho-biz blues
