Footlights Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Cm][G][Cm]

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

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

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

[Interlude 1]
out again
[G][C]
[G][D]
[G][Cm]

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

[Outro 1]
[G][Cm]
