Chord A Backstage Pass by Johnny Cash

Intro "Hello I'm Johnny Cash ! One night I had a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show..." Chorus D There were wackoes and weirdoes A And dingbats and dodoes E And athletes and movie stars A And David Allan Coe D There was leather and lace A And every minority race E A With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show Verse 1 A E Kristofferson got an offer for a movie A Promoters closed another deal or two D Waylon got a call from his son Shooter B E And he went home the minute he was through A E I moved with the mob at intermission A To the green room where you see who you can see D There were has-been's and would-be's and never-were's A E A Paupers punks and millionaires and me Chorus D And there were wackoes and weirdoes A And dingbats and dodoes E And athletes and movie stars A And David Allan Coe D There was leather and lace A And every minority race E A With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show Verse 2 A E Hells Angels blocked the traffic to the building A In order for the beer truck to come through D And waitin' in the wings to sing with Willie B E Were hopeful stars of flickering magnitude A E There was a singer Willie knew back in the fifties A Who once paid him fifty dollars for a song D There were women who once did and some who still would A E A I heard one ask "did Connie come along ?" Chorus D And there were wackoes and weirdoes A And dingbats and dodoes E And athletes and movie stars A And David Allan Coe D There was leather and lace A And every minority race E A With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show Outro A I wish you could've been there A Well maybe you were !
