Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Partners Brothers and Friends guitar chord

D

The promoter says he wants to cancel

G

Cause there ain't enough tickets sold

A

The air conditioner on the bus just broke

D

and I can't shake this cold

The single lost the bullet,

G

the singer's losin' his wife;

A

well I might be crazy but I wouldn't change

D

A single thing about this life.

Sometimes we feel like champions,

G

sometimes we just can't win,

A

sometimes our records hit the top of the charts

D

or the discount bargain bins.

Through 20 years of touring

G

We've remained partners, brothers, and friends

A

we keep it together cause we're sure

D

we're gonna be big time before it all ends.

G

Well you know you've got the Nitty Gritty

D

and Jimmy's got his drums along

A

then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be

D

singing all our favorite songs

G

Catch the fire from the folks in the front row

D G

fan the flames as the beat gets strong

D F# B A

it's great to be a part of something

G A D

so good that's lasted so long

Well I saw a story in the paper

G

suddenly the band's big news

A

the critics all like our records just fine

D

but they seem a bit confused

is it folk or rock or country

G

seems like everybody cares but us

A

so just leave us an early wakeup call

D

so we don't miss the bus

Chorus

D G

The band says it can't stand my latest song, it's too personal

A

but my first wife's second marriage blew up

D

she had to get the dang thing annulled

well if that ain't something to sing about

G

well you tell me what is

A

and we'll give it a beat and put it on the street

D

and we just might have another hit

Chorus

(Great Song)
