Footlights Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I[Fm][C][Fm]
[C]live the kinda [F]life
most men only [C]dream of
I make my livin' [G]writin' songs
[Dm]and [G]singin' [C]them
But I'm forty-one years years old
and I [F]ain't got no place to go
[C]When it's over
So I hide my age and make [G]the stage and
Try to kick the footlights out [C]again

[Verse 2]
[Fm]
I throw [C]my old guitar
across the [F]stage and
Then my bassman takes the [C]ball[G]
[C]And the crowd goes nearly wil[G]d to see
My guitar nearly [C]fall
After twenty years of pickin'
[F]we're still alive
And kickin' and kickin'
down the [C]wall
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
[G]And walk away without a curtain [C]call[Dm]
[C]To

[Verse 3]
[F]night we'll kick
the footlights out again
And try to hide the mood we're [C]really in
Might not put on our old [G]Instamatic grin[Dm]
[G]Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
[C]again[Dm][C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][F][C]
[G][Dm][G][C]
[Fm]

[Verse 4]
I [C]live the kinda [F]life most
men only [C]dream of
And I make my livin' writin' [G]songs and
[C]singin' them
But I'm fortysome years old
[F]and I ain't got no [G]pla[C]ce to go
When it's over
So I hide my age and make the stage and
Try to kick the footlights out again
