Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

D MajorD    A minorAm   G+G    D MajorD


[Verse 1]

   D MajorD     A minorAm     G+G      D MajorD
In a hall, on a wall, in a house in Reseda
D MajorD     A minorAm      G+G        A augmentedA
There's a poster held up by two nails and a pin
    D MajorD      A minorAm     G+G        D MajorD
It's my Daddy, the actor, 'bout to die with his boots on
    D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
He's the man standing up there, beside Errol Flynn

[Verse 2]

   D MajorD     A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
He got third or fourth billing at the end of each picture
    D MajorD       A minorAm      G+G       A augmentedA
"But that don't mean much", he would say with a grin
   D MajorD       A minorAm      G+G       D MajorD
But he'd hold my hand tight as he pointed his name out
    D MajorD       G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Only four or five names down below Errol Flynn


[Chorus]

G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD        G+G
Now, fame, it is fleeting and stars, they keep falling
   G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD         A augmentedA
And staying right up there, that's the business of art
  G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD       G+G
And luck kisses some and she passes by others
    G+G                  A augmentedA
Disappointment and bourbon are hard on the heart
 A augmentedA
They’re hard on the heart


[Verse 3]

    D MajorD    A minorAm        G+G       D MajorD
Now, the women and beers, and the years with old Errol
D MajorD     A minorAm       G+G       A augmentedA
They took their toll, they took me from his side
 D MajorD        A minorAm      G+G    D MajorD
He kissed me goodbye at the old Union Station
    D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
That's the last time I saw him, the last time I cried

[Solo]

D MajorD   A minorAm   G+G  D MajorD     D MajorD  A minorAm   G+G
A augmentedA    D MajorD   A minorAm   G+G    D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA D MajorD


[Chorus 2]
G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
Now I'm sitting alone in a house in Reseda
G+G      A augmentedA         D MajorD       A augmentedA
Watchin' the Late Show as the moonlight shines in
   G+G  A augmentedA       D MajorD          G+G
And up on the screen, well, here comes my Daddy
     G+G                   A augmentedA
It's a sad, funny feeling, now I'm older than him
  A augmentedA
I’m older that him


[Verse 4]

   D MajorD         A minorAm       G+G    D MajorD
So, you daddies and daughters, you sons and you mothers
  D MajorD     A minorAm     G+G     A augmentedA
Remember life's over before it begins
   D MajorD     A minorAm      G+G     D MajorD
So love one another and stand close together
   D MajorD       G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
As close as my Dad did  to   Errol Flynn
   D MajorD     A minorAm      G+G     D MajorD
So love one another and stand close together
   D MajorD       G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
As close as my Dad did to old Errol Flynn


[Outro]
