Chord/Tab song: The Show Goes On

written by Kris Kristofferson
3/8/06

INTRO: A

[A]We used to talk about the rock and the roll
[A]That made it matter not to sell your soul
[A]Like a banner that we held so high
[A]We weren't afraid to [E]fall
[E]Steady rollin' thru the warnin' signs
[E]That were hidden in between the lines
[E]That kept us rockin' 'til the break of day
[E]Or any break at [A]all

[A]We used to take about a day and a night
[A]Try to sing up all the soul in sight
[A]Anyone who couldn't see the light
[A]We had to leave [E]behind
[E]And the sweetest thing you ever heard
[E]Was the singin' of the Speckled Bird
[E]And commercial was a dirty word
[E]We laid it on the [A]line

CHORUS:
It was all so [A]easy then, we could do no [E]wrong
We'll never be the same again, but the show goes [A]on

HARP SOLO: E A

[A]We used to drink about a bucket of booze
[A]And try to chase away the black and blues
[A]When it come the time to pay your dues
[A]We gave an IO[E]U
[E]To the devil with the dirty smile
[E]Which he added to the growin' pile
[E]Of the promises we mean to keep
[E]The day your dreams come [A]true

CHORUS (3x)

OUTRO: A
