1ST VERSE:
G D
Two for the show, and my mother wants to go
C G C
It'll break her heart when I tell her she's too old
G D
I'm in my place, I got makeup all over my face
C G
I think I know my lines, but I don't know
CHORUS:
C G
One for the money, two for the show
C G
Three for the lady on the radio
C G
Four might be the one you'll never know, you'll never know
Am D
If only there was a better way to go
C G (Way to go)
Two for the show
2ND VERSE:
G D
I'm waiting in the wings, while the queen of virtue sings
C G C
It'll break her heart when I tell her she's out of key
G D
If they gave her half a chance, she could soon learn how to dance
C G
So she could earn her living gracefully
CHORUS:
C G
One for the money, two for the show
C G
Three for the lady on the radio
C G
Four might be the one you'll never know, you'll never know
Am D
If only there was a better way to go
G (Way to go)
Two for the show
