Artist/Band: Jennings Waylon Tabs
Song: The Entertainer Tab
********************** THE ENTERTAINER ************************
written by Billy Joel
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
D G
I am the entertainer,i know just where i stand
D A
Another serenader,another long-haired man
D G
Today i am your champion,i may have won your hearts
A
But i know the game,you'll forget my name
G A
And i won't be here in another year
D
If i don't stay on the charts
Verse 2:
D G
I am the entertainer,i've had to pay my price
D A
The things i did not know at first,i learned by doin' twice
D G
Ah,but still they come to haunt me,still they want their say
A
So i've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
G A
Just rub my neck and i write'em a check
D
And they go on their way
Verse 3:
D G
I am the entertainer,been all around the world
D A
I've played all kinds of places,i've laid all kind of girls
D G
I can't remember faces,i don't remember names
A
Ah,but what the hell,it's just as well
G A
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
D
It all becomes the same
Verse 4:
D G
I am the entertainer,i come to do my show
D A
You've heard my latest record,it's been on the radio
D G
Ah,it took me years to write it,the best years of my life
A
It's a beautiful song,but it ran too long
G A
If you wanna have a hit,you gotta make it fit
D
So they cut it down to 3:05
Verse 5:
D G
I am the entertainer,the idol of my age
D A
I make all kinds of money,when i go on the stage
D G
Ah,you've seen me in the papers,i've been in the magazines
A
But if i go cold my future gets sold
G A
They'll put in the back in the discount rack
D
Like another can of beans
Verse 1.
