The Entertainer Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Capo on the 1st fret.

[VERSE 1]
[D] I am the entertainer,i kn[G]ow just where i stand
Another seren[D]ader,another long-haired m[A]an
T[D]oday i am your champion,i m[G]ay have won your hearts
But i know the game,you'll f[A]orget my name
And i w[G]on't be here in an[A]other year
If i don't stay on the ch[D]arts

[VERSE 2]
[D] I am the entertainer,i've h[G]ad to pay my price
The things i did not know at f[D]irst,i learned by doin' tw[A]ice
Ah,b[D]ut still they come to haunt me,st[G]ill they want their say
So i've learned to dance with a ha[A]nd in my pants
Just r[G]ub my neck and i wr[A]ite'em a check
And they go on their w[D]ay

[VERSE 3]
[D]I am the entertainer,bee[G]n all around the world
I've played all kinds of p[D]laces,i've laid all kind of [A]girls
I ca[D]n't remember faces,i do[G]n't remember names
Ah,but what the hell,it's j[A]ust as well
'Cause [G]after a while and a th[A]ousand miles
It all becomes the s[D]ame

[VERSE 4]
[D] I am the entertainer,i c[G]ome to do my show
You've heard my latest rec[D]ord,it's been on the rad[A]io
Ah,it [D]took me years to write it,the [G]best years of my life
It's a beautiful song,but it r[A]an too long
If you w[G]anna have a hit,you gotta m[A]ake it fit
So they cut it down to 3:0[D]5

[VERSE 5]
[D] I am the entertainer,the [G]idol of my age
I make all kinds of mon[D]ey,when i go on the st[A]age
Ah,you've [D]seen me in the papers,i've [G]been in the magazines
But if i go cold my f[A]uture gets sold
They'll p[G]ut in the back in the d[A]iscount rack
Like another can of [D]beans
