A                           Bm
It all started back in 1981.'

verse 3

Spoken
                                    Bm
When I first set out on the road, I figured
                                         A               E
I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks.
                       A
Well, it's goin on 30 now
      D            E                           F#m
And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
                                      Bm
When I hear that announcer say my name,
D          A
And I walk through those curtains
D
And see your smilin' faces,
A
My feet don't touch the ground again
E                                                       A
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.
                                Bm
I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this,

But I figure a few.
E
I do want you to know, though,

That when I do walk off this stage for the last time,
F#m                 A       F#m
And I'm all settled in, away from all this,
                    Bm
You won't be far away.
                  F#m        Bm    F#m             D
I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind.
   E
And I'll always remember you.


D                         A
I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
                Bm                E                  A
Cause there's still things that I want to say and do.
          D                                A
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
         D                E                A
And just know that I'll always remember you.
             D
You've pulled me through some hard times.
       A
Hope I've pulled you through a few.
     Bm             D          E    A E A
And just know that I'll always remember you.
