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

Verse 2
(C minor)
I (G major) throw my old guitar across the stage (C major) and
Then my bassman takes
the (G major) ball
And the crowd goes nearly (D major) wild to see
My guitar nearly fall (G major)
After twenty years of pickin'
we're still (C major) alive
And kickin' and kickin' down
the (G major) wall
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
And (D major) walk away without a curtain (G major) call
Verse 3
(G major)
Tonight (C major) we'll kick the
footlights out again
And try to hide the mood
we're really (G major) in
Might not put on our old
Instamatic (D major) grin
Tonight we'll kick the footlights
