You Haven't Lived Until You've Played The Palace chords by

Verse 1
D

One of Irving Berlin's

most immortal phrases

is, there's no business like show

business.

And certainly nothing

represents show business

more than the Palace Theater in

New York.
G
D

As George M. Cohan once said

to Mrs. Minnie Madden Fitts,
G

Listen, kid, you haven't lived
D

until you've played the palace.
G

It's like being wed without

a wedding ring.

Though you've climbed to the heights

with your name up in lights.

Television's just a passing fancy,
G
E

and movie fame is but an empty thrill.
G

Though you're on top of the heap,
C

you are only a creep,

until you've played the palace

One word of warning or

You've got to tell the people

you were born in a trunk.

Oh, you may be the darling of the critics

And star in Noel Coward's latest play

On the stage you're a hit,

the dirty, drafty palace

The palace theater on Old Be

longs to me.

Well, that was the palace of yesterday,


but the palace of today

may not be quite as active

as it once was.

But every now and then,


we get the tremendously

successful entertainers

who re -open the palace.

They bring us the one man or

one woman show,

and their act generally ends

something like this.

I cannot go on without telling you thank

you from the bottom of my heart

for letting me appear

before you tonight.

It makes me feel so humble.

All All during my 22 record

-breaking weeks

at the Palladium in London, England,
D

my 31 weeks at Monsignor's in Paris,

France,
D

and my six days at Schlachtenhafter's

Rathskeller

in Berlin.

Stupid krauts.
D

My one thought has been,

next comes the Palace Theater on
C#

Old Broadway.
D

It's like a dream come true.

You know, I've been trooping

ever since I was four years old.

I never had a childhood.

no dolls and games

and little girls to play with only little boys

which isn't quite the same

do you know what it is like to look for love you and you and you
D

an d you you you well I do and it's not good

I suppose it was because I was so pretty, clever,

sweet, dainty, and talented.

Such a little doll.

No one would touch me

with a 10 -foot pole.

All I had was money, fame,

a large annuity,

and real estate holdings in Beverly Hills.

A mighty poor substitute for

affection.

But let's leave sleeping dogs lay.

Tonight, you wonderful audience,

in answer to thousands and thousands

and thousands of requests,

here is little me trying to sing for you

my song of inspiration,

Somewhere There's a Little Blue Bird.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
