Chords

[Verse 1]
D
The promoter says he wants to cancel

                                 G
Cause there ain't enough tickets sold

    A
The air conditioner on the bus just broke

                       D
and I can't shake this cold
The single lost the bullet,
                        G
the singer's losin' his wife;

       A
well I might be crazy but I wouldn't change

                          D
A single thing about this life.
Sometimes we feel like champions,
                        G
sometimes we just can't win,

     A
sometimes our records hit the top of the charts

                        D
or the discount bargain bins.
Through almost 20 years of touring
                                       G
We've remained partners, brothers, and friends

   A
we keep it together cause we're sure

                                      D
we're gonna be big time before it all ends.
[Chorus]
        G
Well just as long as Johnny got his fiddle.

    D
and Jimmy's got his drums along

     A
then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be

D
singing all our favorite songs

          G
Catch the fire from the folks in the front row

        D                       G
fan the flames as the beat gets strong

D             F#   B       A
it's great to be a part of something

   G           A         D
so good that's lasted so long
[Verse 2]
D
Well I saw a story in the paper

                        G
suddenly the band's big news

    A
the critics all like our records just fine

                        D
but they seem a bit confused
is it folk or rock or country Whoa!
                               G
seems like everybody cares but us

        A
so just leave us an early wakeup call

                     D
so we don't miss the bus
[Chorus]
        G
Well just as long as Johnny got his fiddle.

    D
and Jimmy's got his drums along

     A
then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be

D
singing all our favorite songs

          G
Catch the fire from the folks in the front row

        D                       G
fan the flames as the beat gets strong

D             F#   B       A
it's great to be a part of something

   G           A         D
so good that's lasted so long
[Verse 3]
D                                                           G
The band says it can't stand my latest song, it's too personal

    A
but my first wife's second marriage blew up

                                     D
and had to get the dang thing annulled
well if that ain't something to sing about
                      G
well you tell me what is

          A
and we'll give it a beat and put it on the street

                               D
and we just might have another hit
[Chorus]
        G
Well just as long as Johnny got his fiddle.
