Chords for Billy Joel - The Entertainer (Audio)

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I am the entertainer [C] and I know just where I stand
Another [G] serenader and another [D] long-haired band
[G] Today I am your [D] champion, [C] I may have won your hearts
But I know the [Am] game, you'll forget my name
And I won't be [C] here in another [D] year if I don't stay [G] on the toss _
_ I am the entertainer [C] and I've had to pay my price
Things I did [G] not know at first, I learned [Em] by [D] doing twice
[G] Ah, but still they come to haunt me, [C] still they want their say
So I've earned [G] a dance [D] with a hand in my pants
[A] Let them rub my neck [Em] and I'll write them a check
And [D] they go their merry [G]
way
_ _ _ I am the entertainer, [C] been [D] all around [C] the world
I've played all kinds [G] of palaces, and laid [C] all kinds [D] of girls
[G] I can't remember faces, [C] I don't remember names
Ah, but what the hell, you [D] know it's just as well
[Am] Cause after [C] a while and a thousand miles, [D] it all becomes [G] the same
I _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
am the _ entertainer, I [C] bring to you my songs
I'd like to [G] spend a day or two, I can't [D] stay that long
[G] Now I've got to meet expenses, [C] I've got to stay in line
Gotta get the [D] fees to the agencies, [C] and I'd love to stay
But there's bills to pay, [D] so I just don't [G] have the time
I _ _ _ _ am the entertainer, [Em] I come to do [C] my show
You heard my [Em] latest [G] record, it's been on the radio
[D] [G] Ah, it took me years for writers, they [C] were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song, [D] but it ran too long
If [Am] you're gonna have a hit, you [C] gotta make [D] it big
So they cut it down [G] to three or five
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ am the entertainer, the [C] idol of my age
I make all [G] kinds of money when [C] I go [D] on the stage
[G] Ah, you've seen me in the papers, [C] I've been in the magazines
But if I go [D] cold, I won't get sold
[Am] I get put [C] in the back, in the discount rack, [D] like another can [G] of beans
I _ _ _ am the entertainer, [C] and I know just where I stand
Another [G]
serenade, and [C] another [D] long hair band
[G] Today I am your champion, [C] I may have won your hearts
But I know the [D] game, you'll forget my name
[Am] I won't be here in [C] another year, [D] till I know stay on the [G] charts _ _ _ _ _ _
