Billy Joel - The Entertainer

G

I Gam the entertainer and I Cknow just where G/BI Cstand

ACnother serenadeG/Br and another Clong-haired bDand

ToGday I am your champion, I Cmay have won your hearts

But I Cknow the game, you’ll foDrget my name

And I Am7won’t be here in Cmaj7another year

If I Ddon’t stay on the chGarts

G

I Gam the entertainer and I’ve C/Ehad to pay G/Dmy Cprice

The Cthings I did not G/Bknow at first I lG/Bearned by Cdoin’ Dtwice

Ah, but Gstill they come to haunt me

SC/Etill they want their Csay

So I’ve lCearned to dance with a hDand in my pants

Let ‘em Am7rub my neck and I Cmaj7write ‘em a check

And they Dgo their merry waGy

G

I Gam the entertainer, C/Ebeen all around G/Dthe Cworld

I’ve Cplayed all kinds of palaceG/Bs and lG/Baid all Ckinds of Dgirls

I Gcan’t remember faces, C/EI don’t remember Cnames

Ah, but Cwhat the hell, you know it’s Djust as well

‘Cause aAm7fter a while and a tCmaj7housand miles

DIt all becomes the sGame

G

I Gam the entertainer, I C/Ebring to you G/Dmy Csongs

I’d Clike to spend a G/Bday or two, but IG/Bcan’t Cstay that Dlong

No, I’ve Ggot to meet expenses, I C/Egot to stay in Cline

Gotta Cget those fees to the Dagencies

And I’d Am7love to stay but there’s Cmaj7bills to pay

So I Djust don’t have the tiGme

G

I Gam the entertainer, I C/Ecome to do G/Dmy Cshow

You’ve Cheard my latest recorG/Bd, it’s bG/Been on the CradiDo

Ah, it Gtook me years to write it, they were the

C/EBest years of my Clife

It was a bCmaj7eautiful song, but it Dran too long

If you’re Am7gonna have a hit, you Cgotta make it fit

So they Dcut it down to 3:0G5

G

GI am the entertainer, the C/Eidol G/Dof my Cage

I Cmake all kinds of moneG/By when IG/Bgo Con the Dstage

Ah, you’ve Gseen me in the papers

I’ve C/Ebeen in the maCgazines

But if CI go cold I Dwon’t get sold

I’ll get Am7put in the back in the Cdiscount rack

Like aDnother can of beGans

G

Hanging stops

I Gam the entertainer and I C/Eknow just where G/DI Cstand

ACnother serenader and G/Banother Clong-haired bDand

ToGday I am your champion, I C/Emay have won your Chearts

But I Cknow the game, you’ll foDrget my name

And I Am7won’t be here in Cmaj7another year

If I Ddon’t stay on the chGarts
