Errol Flynn chords by Donnie Fritts

[Intro]

D       Am      G       D


[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Solo]

D      Am      G   D         D    Am     G
A        D      Am     G        D      G     A D


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


[Verse 4]

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


[Outro]
