Half a chance Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Em][Am][F][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]Goin' down a dusty road,
I [Em]turned my [Am]head [F]‘round
Looking for somewhere to go,
[Em]a place to lay my head [Am]down
[F]Check into a small hotel and there
[Em]before [Am]my ey[F]es
Stood a man with a trumpet in his hand
[F#dim]Trying to make the people understand,
[Am]he s[C]tops a[Am]nd sighs [F]and says

[Verse 2]
[E]"Half a chance
Give the singers half a chance and they'll
[C]sing and dance through [Am]the night
[E]Lend an ear, please
And the band will play the things
you'll want to hear[E]
[E]There's no doubt
That before tonight is over [C]you'll scream
and [Am]shout [E]‘Hip hooray!'
In the meantime
There is only one more thing I'd
like to say"[E][E]

[Verse 3]
[F]Spoke about the well- known
faces appear[Em]ing in t[Am]he show
[F]Star attraction of the evening would
be [Em]Billy with his big ban[Am]jo
[F]But first of all,
a sweet little lady [Em]who'd have us all screamin' [Am]for more[F]
Lily, the [F#dim]striptease queen with the biggest
pair you've ever seen.
[Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[E]Down and down
Went her long black stockings and, as they [C]hit the ground,
the boys went [Am]mad
[E]Everyone agreed
That it was the greatest time they'd
ever had[E][E]
[E]On and on
Now the night was nearly over ex
[C]cept for Billy and his big [Am]ban jo
[E]Billy sang a song called ‘The
Truckdriver Man'
And we joined in for a chorus or two and then I went to [E]bed.
[F]

[Verse 5]

There is only one more
thing I'd like to say"[E]
