verse 1 

A                           Bm 
It all started back in 1981.' 
E                              A  F#m 
Our life together had just begun. 
                                   Bm 
I didn't know what my future would hold, 
A          D      Bm 
But you gave me a chance, 
    E  
So I set out on the road. 


verse 2 

A                        Bm 
It wasn't easy going then. 
   E                                            A E F#m E F#m 
There were times I almost threw that old towel in, 
                               Bm 
But you kept callin me back to the stage, 
A             D                E 
And I finally found my place in each and every face. 

D                          A 
I'm not sayin I'm through by any means. 
        Bm                  E                 A  
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. 
               Bm                  E        A  Bm  E A 
And just know that I'll always remember you. 



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.
