Chords for The Limeliters live 1981 "There's A Meetin' Here Tonight" "Acres of Limeliters"

[N] There's a grin on [E] every upturned face and a smile in every eye.
Brothers and sisters, let me hear you [B] shout.
Let me hear your joyful [E]
cry.
[G] _ There's a meeting here tonight.
[D] There's a meeting here tonight.
[G] I know you fly your friendly face.
There's a meeting here tonight.
[B] _ [E] There's a meeting here [B] tonight.
There's a meeting here [E] tonight.
I know you fly your friendly face.
There's a meeting here tonight.
There's a meeting here tonight.
[B] There's a meeting here tonight.
I know you fly your [E] friendly face.
There's a meeting here tonight.
There's a meeting here tonight.
[B] There's a meeting here tonight.
Great [E] God, I know you fly your [A] friendly [C] _ _ face. _ _
[G] [E] There's a meeting [B] _ here _ [C] tonight.
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _

I'll be [E] acknowledging the bulk of the [D#] applause tonight.
[F#] _
_ _ Glenn and Alex are no longer geared for total approval.
_ _ [E] But I [C#] groove with it. _
_ Manhattan audiences are [D] uniformly so receptive
that my only regret [C#] is that you may [D] not see us in Nevada
where we have access to so [Bm] many production [C#m] values.
And you know how [B] critical that is in this industry.
You don't care, I say.
_ [F#] Well, there, of course, we have a circular staircase
which surrounds the stage,
and [Bm] _ Glenn appears [B] when the curtain rises at the rear
on a platform in a sequin and [C] rhinestone bespattered getup
that we got quite reasonably, actually,
at [D] a _ _ garage sale out in back of Elton John's house.
_ _ _ [Bm]
The miracles of modern couture,
[E] just a few little wedge-shaped pieces in the back,
and [C] _ [C#] there he was. _ _
50-year-old rock star, [B] presto change [G#] over. _
And then, [C#] of course, the [G] showgirls. _
24 [D#] of them.
We got them from the retirement [D] list at Toledo,
_ and [G#] they're still [E] tall. _ _
_ [A#m] _ _ And they're just [E] loads of fun to work [F#] with,
especially when they take their medication.
_ _ [D] Otherwise, [C#m] they are subject to mood swings,
[C#] which _ can [F#] be sticky wicket.
_ I'm [Em] not going to prolong this delirious hilarity unduly,
_ lest you [C#m] lose sphincter control
_ [Cm] and we be confronted with [C#] an environmental [C] impact
with which we are ill [B]-equipped to deal. _ _
So, [C] we're going to crisply move now
[D#] into a song that is [B] autobiographical in character.
Oh, good, [G#] I heard someone say.
_ [C#] _
Perhaps not.
[Gm] At any rate, _ [C#] it deals [F#m] with the 60s and [C#] 70s.
That's the 1960s and 70s, of course.
A [D#] period during which Alex began to produce distinguished albums,
and Glenn, of course, an unending stream of [E] beautiful love songs
that found [G] a secure niche in the recollection
of many sensitive [C#] Americans,
[D] particularly those in litigation.
_ _ And there is some [C#m] mention made of an impressive list
of fiscal [C] eccentricities that I perpetrated myself,
still being [C#] amortized, be it noted.
At any rate, _ [G#] the title is crisp and memorable,
and it is [E] Acres of Limelighters in D Major, God [A] Willing. _ _ _
Thank you.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ [D] We've traveled all over this country
_ A-pickin' and [Bm] singin' for gold
[D] In concerts, in nightclubs, on TV
[G] Yes, [D] we [A] have been [D] frequently sold
_ Yes, we [A] have been frequently [G]
sold
[D] Yes, we have been frequently [Bm] sold
_ [D] In concerts, [A] in [D] nightclubs, on TV
[G] Yes, [D] we [A] have been [D] frequently sold
_ We never [A] turned [D] down a good offer
[A] _ _ [D] Commercials for coffee [Bm] and Coke
_ [D] We published, [A] promoted, [D] and [G] hustled
Cause [D] we were [A] afraid to [D] be broke
[A] _ [D] Yes, we were [C#m] afraid to [Bm] be broke
[G] _ [D] Yes, we were afraid [Bm] to be broke _
We [D] published, promoted, and hustled
[G] Cause [D] we were [A] afraid to [D] be broke _
We met lots of groovy young ladies _
[A] _ [D] You might say those [Bm] were the days
But [D] now that we're older and wiser
[G] We [D] think that [A] monogamy [D] pays _
We think that [C#m] monogamy [Bm] _ _
[G] pays
[D] We think that [Bm] monogamy pays
Why this shuriken?
[D] Now that we're [A] older [D] and wiser
[G] We think that [A] _ [D] monogamy pays
[A] _ [D] Yes, we were as fond of each _ [A] other
[D] As any of those who [B] are wed
_ [D] Except that [A] when we [D] had a quarrel
[G] We _ [D] never [A] could make up [D] in bed [A] Never
We [D] never [C#m] could make up [Bm] in [G] bed
[D] We never could make up [Bm] in bed
But there was that one time
[D] Except that when we had a quarrel
[G] We _ [D] never could make up in bed
_ [A] [D] So Alex became a producer Too true
And Glenn became very [Bm] well known
_ [D] While Lou played executive hippie
[G] At [D] his [A] Morningstar groupie [D] rest home
Now that we're [C#m] all back [Bm] _
[G] together
[D] It's clear once again what [Bm] we've lacked
_ [D] We're naturally drawn to each other
[G] A [D] _ [A] naturally [D] unnatural act
_ [Bm] [D] A naturally [Bm] unnatural [G] act
[D] A naturally unnatural [Bm] act
_ We're [D] naturally drawn to each other
[G] A [D] naturally [A] unnatural act
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
