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 E We weren't afraid to 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 A Or any break at 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 E We had to leave 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 A We laid it on the line CHORUS: A E It was all so easy then, we could do no wrong A We'll never be the same again, but the show goes 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 E We gave an IOU 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 A The day your dreams come true CHORUS (3x) OUTRO: A
