Chords for Billy Joel - The Entertainer (from Old Grey Whistle Test)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey, that's all my hair. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the entertainer, [C] and I know just where I stand.
Another [G] serenader, and another [D] long-haired man.
[G]
Today I am your champion, [C] and may you want your hearts.
But I know the [E] game, you'll forget my [Em] name,
and I won't be here in another [E] year, if I don't stay on the [G] charts.
_ Oh, I'm the entertainer.
[E] I've had to pay [C] my price.
Things I did [G] not know at first, I learned by [D] doing twice.
[G] Ah, but still they come to haunt me.
[Em] Still they want [C] their say.
So I learn to dance with [D] the hand of my pants.
I let them rub my [C] neck, and I write them a check,
and [D] they go their merry [G] way.
_ _ Oh, _ _ I'm the entertainer.
[C] Been all around the world.
Played all [G] kinds of palaces.
[C] Played all [D] kinds of girls.
[G] I can't remember faces.
[C] I don't remember names.
Oh, but what [D] the hell, you know it's just [Am] as well,
because after a [C] while and a thousand [D] miles,
it all [G] becomes the same. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I am the entertainer.
[C] I bring to you my songs.
I'd like to [G] spend a day or two, but I can't [D] stay that long.
[G] Oh, I got to meet expenses.
[C] I got to stay in line.
Gotta get those [D] fees to the [Am] agencies,
and I'd love to [C] stay, but there's bills to [D] pay.
So I just don't have the [G] time. _
_ _ _ _ I am the entertainer.
I come to [C] do my show.
You heard my [G] latest record.
It's been on the [D] radio.
[G] Ah, it took me years to write it.
They were the best years [C] of my life.
It was a beautiful [D] song, but it ran too [Am] long.
If you're going to have a [C] hit, you got to make it [D] rich,
so they cut it down to [G] 305.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I am the entertainer, [Em] the [D] idol of my [C] age.
Make all [G] kinds of money when I go [D] on the stage.
[G] Well, you've seen me in the papers, [C] been in the magazines,
but if I go [D] cold, I won't get sold.
[A] I get put in the back in [C] the discount rack
[D] like a daughter in a [G] bead. _ _ _ _ _ _
I am the entertainer, [C] and I know just where I stand.
Another [G] serenade and another [D] long-haired man.
[G] Today I am the champion.
[C] They may have won your hearts, but I know the [D] game.
You'll forget my name.
I won't be [C] here another [D] year if I don't stay on the [G] job. _ _ _
