THE ENTERTAINER CHORDS
[Start] [Intro] [Verse] G Gsus4 G ■ ■ ■ I am the entertainer C And I know just where I stand G Another serenader D And another long haired band G Today I am your champion C I may have won your hearts Am But I know the game you'll forget my name C And I won't be here in another year D G If I don't stay on the charts G I am the entertainer C And I've had to pay my price G The things I did not know at first D I learned by doin' twice G Ah but still they come to haunt me Em C Still they want their say D So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants A7 C I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check D G And they go their merry way [Chorus] G I am the entertainer C Been all around the world G I've played all kinds of palaces C D And laid all kinds of girls G I can't remember faces C Dm7 C I don't remember names C Ah but what the hell D You know it's just as well Am C 'cause after a while and a thousand miles D G It all becomes the same [Verse] G7 I am the entertainer C G7 I bring to you my songs ■ C G I'd like to spend a day or two D I can't stay that long G No I've got to meet expenses C I got to stay in line D Gotta get those fees to the agencies Am7 C And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay D G So I just don't have the time [Chorus] G I am the entertainer Em C I come to do my show G You've heard my latest record C D It's been on the radio G Ah it took me years to write it C They were the best years of my life C It was a beautiful song C But it ran too long Am If you're gonna have a hit C You gotta make it fit D G So they cut it down to three o five G I am the entertainer C The idol of my age G I make all kinds of money D When I go on the stage G Ah you've seen me in the papers C I've been in the magazines D But if I go cold I won't get sold Am C I'll get put in the back in the discount rack D G Like another can of beans G I am the entertainer C And I know just where I stand C Another serenader G C And another long haired band G Today I am your champion C I may have won your hearts Cmaj7 C But I know the game you'll forget my name Am7 Cmaj7 I won't be here in another year C If I don't stay on the charts [Outro] G C G C G D G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
