If you think I’m feeling older and missing my younger days

| Oh, then you | should have known me much better |
Cause my past is something that never
| A |
| Still I | would not be here now if I never had the hunger |
And I’m not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends

| Cause I | never felt the desire ‘til their music set me on fire |
| E6 | D |
| And then I was | saved, | yeah |
| E6 |
| That’s why I’m keeping the | faith |
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
| D |
| I | put on my shark skin jacket |
You know the kind with the velvet collar
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
| D |
| Combed my | hair in a pompadour |
Like the rest of the Romeos wore

| Say | goodbye to the | oldies but | goodies |

| Learned stickball as a formal education |
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
| D |
| I | heard about sex but not enough |
| A |
| I found you could dance and still look tough any | way |
I found out a man ain’t just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay
| D |
| I | thought I was the Duke of Earl |
When I made it with a red-haired girl
| E6 |
| We were keeping the | faith |
| E | D | A |
| You can | get just so | much from a | good thing |
| E | D | A |
| You can | linger too | long in your | dreams |

| Now I | told you my reasons for the whole revival |
Now I’m going outside to have an
Ice cold beer in the shade

When the rock 'n' roll

| Well, he sta | rted with a | bank in Color | ado |

| Took the t | eller by surpr | ise | and |

| But the | cowboy and the rancher knew his name | | |
| G | Em | F |
| Well, he r | obbed his way from | Utah to Oklah | oma |
| G | Em | F | C | D |
| And the l | aw just could not s | eem to track him | down | | |
| G | Em | F | C | G/B |
| And it se | rved his legend | well, for the f | olks they’d love to te | ll | ’bout |
| Am7 | D7sus |
| When Billy the Kid | came to town |
| G | Em | F |
| Well o | ne cold day a p | osse captured B | illy |

| The hangin’ | of Billy the Kid |
| C | D | Em | Bm |
| Well he n | ever traveled he | avy, yes he | always rode al | one |
| C | C/D | F/G |

| From a t | own known as | Oyster Bay, Long I | sland |

| Well I’m | on the | Downeaster | Alexa |

| And I’m | cruising through | Block Island | Sound |
| C | G | Am |
| I have | charted a | course to the | Vineyard |
| G | D | C |
| But | tonight I am | Nantucket | bound |
| C | D | G | C |
| We took on | diesel back in | Montauk | yesterday |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| And left this | morning from the | bell in Gardiner’s | Bay |
| C | D | G | C |
| Like all the | locals here I’ve | had to sell my | home |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| Too proud to | leave I worked my | fingers to the | bone |
| G | D | Em |
| So I could | own my | Downeaster | Alexa |
| G | D | C |
| And I | go where the | ocean is | deep |
| C | G | Am |
| There are | giants out | there in the | canyons |
| G | D | C |
| And a | good captain | can’t fall | asleep |
| C | D | G | C |
| I’ve got | bills to pay and | children who need | clothes |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| I know there’s | fish out there | but where God only | knows |
| C | D | G | C |
| They say these | waters aren’t | what they used to | be |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| But I’ve got | people back on | land who count on | me |
| G | D | Em |
| So if you | see my | Downeaster | Alexa |
| G | D | C |
| And if you | work with the | rod and the | reel |
| C | G | Am |
| Tell my | wife I am | trolling | Atlantis |
| G | D | C |
| And I | still have my | hands on the | wheel |
| G | D | Em |
| Now I | drive my | Downeaster | Alexa |
| G | D | C |
| More and | more miles from | shore every | year |
| C | G | Am |
| Since they | tell me I | can’t sell no | stripers |
| G | D | C |
| And there’s | no luck in | swordfishing | here |
| C | D | G | C |
| I was a | bayman like my | father was | before |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| Can’t make a | living as a | bayman | anymore |
| C | D | G | C |
| There ain’t much | future for a | man who works the | sea |
| C | D | Em | D/F# |
| But there ain’t no | island left for | islanders like | me |
| G | C | G/B | C |
| I | am the entertainer and I | know just where | I | stand |
| C | G/B | C | D |
| A | nother serenade | r and another | long-haired b | and |

| To | day I am your champion, I | may have won your hearts |

| G |
| Ah, but | still they come to haunt me |
| C/E | C |
| S | till they want their | say |
| C | D |
| So I’ve l | earned to dance with a h | and in my pants |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
| Let ‘em | rub my neck and I | write ‘em a check |
| D | G |
| And they | go their merry wa | y |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
| I | am the entertainer, | been all around | the | world |
| C | G/B | C | D |
| I’ve | played all kinds of palace | s and laid all | kinds of | girls |
| G | C/E | C |
| I | can’t remember faces, | I don’t remember | names |
| C | D |
| Ah, but | what the hell, you know it’s | just as well |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
| ‘Cause a | fter a while and a t | housand miles |
| D | G |
| It all becomes the s | ame |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
| I | am the entertainer, I | bring to you | my | songs |
| C | G/B | C | D |
| I’d | like to spend a | day or two, but I can’t | stay that | long |
| G | C/E | C |
| No, I’ve | got to meet expenses, I | got to stay in | line |
| C | D |
| Gotta | get those fees to the | agencies |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
| And I’d | love to stay but there’s | bills to pay |
| D | G |
| So I | just don’t have the ti | me |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
| I | am the entertainer, I | come to do | my | show |
| C | G/B | C | D |
| You’ve | heard my latest recor | d, it’s been on the | radi | o |
| G |
| Ah, it | took me years to write it, they were the |
| C/E | C |
| Best years of my | life |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| It was a b | eautiful song, but it | ran too long |
| Am7 | C |
| If you’re | gonna have a hit, you | gotta make it fit |
| D | G |
| So they | cut it down to 3:0 | 5 |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
| I am the entertainer, the | idol | of my | age |
| C | G/B | C | D |
| I | make all kinds of mone | y when I go | on the | stage |
| G |
| Ah, you’ve | seen me in the papers |
| C/E | C |
| I’ve | been in the ma | gazines |
| C | D |
| But if | I go cold I | won’t get sold |
| Am7 | C |
| I’ll get | put in the back in the | discount rack |

Something sacred I lost

| But the | river is | wide |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| And it’s | too hard to | cross |
| Em | Gmaj7 |
| And even though I know the | river is wide |
| Cmaj7 | G |
| I walk | down every evening and | stand on the shore |
| Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
| I try to cross to the | opposite side |
| A7 | D |
| So I can | finally find out what I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
| In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
| Through the | valley of | fear |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| To a | river so | deep |
| G |
| I’ve been searching for | something |
Taken out of my soul
| G7 | C |
| Something | I could never | lose |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| Something | somebody | stole |
| Em | Gmaj7 |
| I | don’t know why I go | walking at night |
| Cmaj7 | G |
| But now I’m | tired and I don’t want to | walk anymore |
| Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
| I | hope it doesn’t take the | rest of my life |
| A7 | D |
| Until I | find what it is I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
| In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
| Through the | jungle of | doubt |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| To the | river so | deep |
| G |
| I know I’m | searching for something |
Something so undefined
| G7 | C |
| That it can | only be | seen |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| By the | eyes of the | blind |
| G |
| In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the
| G7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
| C | Cmaj7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
| D |
| I go walking in the, in the middle of the |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the
| G7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
| C | Cmaj7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
| D |
| I go walking in the, in the middle of the |
| Em | Gmaj7 |
| I’m not sure about a | life after this |
| Cmaj7 | G |
| God | knows I’ve never been a | spiritual man |
| Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
| Baptized by the | fire |
| A | D |
| I wade into the | river that is running through the | promised land |
| G |
| In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
| Through the | desert of | truth |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| To the | river so | deep |
| G |
| We all end in the | ocean |
We all start in the streams
| G7 | C |
| We’re all | carried a | long |
| Cmaj7 | D |
| By the | river of | dreams |
| G |
| In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the
| G7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
| C | Cmaj7 |
| I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
