A  G  D  A
G  D  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                                   G
Tried busking down in Frisco, tried dancin' in L.A.
  D                                  A
I played the blues in Chicago, boy I ran home in Santa Fe
                              G
I played guitar for many men, signed a deal or two
    D                               A
And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                                  G
I got hot chicks down in Texas, no work in Alabam'
D                                 A
Snowed in out on Belibor you were always in a jam
                                  G
Worked carnivals down in Georgia, night clubs attitude
    D                               A
And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues
 
 
[Bridge]
A        G                A          G              A
Well the manager's got no money, the bookers had no jobs
    G             A               G                  A
The record man he fell asleep, he says I look like a slob
    G                       A                  G              A
The bus breaks down and the motel's bad you're always in a stew
    G                 A                         G       A
You can't quit you're too far gone, you got the sho-biz blues

A                          G
I tried to love the ladies everywhere I went
D                                     A
When I got down and out they wouldn't ever pay my rent
                                        G
If you crave your neighbour lights, the spotlight's right on you
D                                        A
When it's time to get the catch with the sho-biz blues
 
 
[Verse 4]
A                                     G
Now you can't sleep till two o'clock, you ain't no millionaire
     D                           A
This entertaining lifestyle just seems to go nowhere
                                     G
You write a song it seems okay, they say it's nothin' new
D                                         A
It don't take long to find you've got the sho-biz blues
