Showboat Josh Ritter
Capo 5.
[Verse 1]
[C/G]Every time it rains, it pours,
I [C/G]pray it'll rain a little more. I'm [Dm]leaving. [Dm]
[G]'Cause I'm the guy who never cries,
[G]And I gotta' keep my reputation [C/G]clean.[C/G]
And [C/G]here's a helpful tip to rain and [C/G]mist,
And raindrops may [C/G]help to hide the tears a little [Dm]more.[Dm]
But [G]I'm the guy who never cries
L[G]ooks up at the sky with hopeful eyes
Ho[G]ping when it finally rains it p[C/G]ours.[C/G]
[Cborus]
I'm just a [C/G]showboat.
[C/G]Won't catch me crying, no.
[C/G]Won't catch me showing any hurt.[Dm] [Dm]
I'm just a [G]showboat.
[G]Pretending I can stay afloat.
[G]Pretending I'm not sinking over h[C/G]er.[C/G]
[Verse 2]
And [C/G]every time the sun goes down
I [C/G]pray the sunlight takes the sound as w[Dm]ell.[Dm]
And [G]into new arms I lie
And [G]I can keep the pain all to [C/G]myself.[C/G]
No [C/G]light to see me shake and,
No [C/G]sound to hear how I may break and,
N[C/G]o sounding of the teardrops hit the [Dm]floor[Dm]
Which i[G]s why a guy who never cries
[G]Stays up all night with tired eyes
[G]Hoping when it finally rains, it [C/G]pours. [C/G]
[Cborus]
I'm just a [C/G]showboat.
[C/G]Won't catch me crying, no.
[C/G]Won't catch me showing any hurt.[Dm] [Dm]
I'm just a [G]showboat.
[G]Pretending I can stay afloat.
[G]Pretending I'm not sinking over h[C/G]er.[C/G]
[Instrumental Break]
[C/G] [C/G] [C/G] [Dm] [Dm] [G] [G] [C/G] [C/G] [C/G] [C/G]
[Bridge]
Look at that [C/G]showboat.
[C/G]Old king thunderbolt.
Mis[C/G]ter
[C/G]Only dog in every fight
The[C/G] only guy who'd dynamite
The[C/G] only guy who never cries
It'[C/G]s never lonely all the time
[F]See him dancing up on tables
[G]Shaunas, Lisas, Ethels, Mabels
[G]Waiting for a drop of rain
[G]Fall in linen, hide the pain
[G]Fall and keep his boat afloat
[G]Pretend that he's not sinking, no
[G]Pretend that he ain't sinking over [C/G]her. [C/G]
[C/G]Pretend that he ain't sinking over [C/G]her.
