Partners, Brothers, And Friends - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Partners, Brothers, And Friends chords

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 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. 
         G
Well you know you've got the Nitty Gritty 
    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 

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 
                               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 
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
she 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 



(Great Song)
