[Intro]
E Esus E D A
[Chorus]
A D G G G/F#
It's those middle-aged groupies and second-hand stars
A/E A7 D
Shinin' their memories like second-hand cars
G G/F# Em
Plannin' their comebacks in kitchens and bars
A A7 D
Those middle-aged groupies and second-hand stars
[Verse 1]
D G G/F# Em
Soon as he can get his shit together
A D
Gonna quit his job and write some songs
G G/F# Em
He'll call and get the old group back together
A A7 D
They'll be right on top before to long
[Verse 2]
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away
D G G/F# Em
As soon as all the kids get a little bit older
A A7 D
She's gonna lose some weight and fix her hair
G G/F# Em
Cause back in fifty-nine, that cowboy told her
A A7 D
He'd be proud to take her anywhere
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em
And it's those middle-aged groupies and second-hand stars
A A7 D
Shinin' their memories like second-hand cars
G G/F# Em
Plannin' their comebacks in kitchens and bars
A A7 D
Those middle-aged groupies and second-hand stars
[Verse 3]
D G G/F# Em
Soon as he can fix his 12-string Martin
A A7 D
Soon as he can save a little cash
G G/F# Em
He'll get some transplant hair and start in startin'
A A7 D
To pick up all the pieces of the past
[Verse 4]
Meanwhile a thousand miles away
G G/F# Em
She recalls that small motel room outside of Denver
A A7 D
Said he wrote that sweet song just for her
G G/F# Em
Maybe if she wrote him, he'd remember
A A7 D
Things could be the way that they once were
G G/F# Em
But now it's late; time she started supper
A A7 D
It's funny how the time slips quickly past
G G/F# Em
While a thousand miles away, a Buick's honkin'
A A7 D
He gets up, goes out to pump some gas
[Chorus]
G G/F#
It's those middle-aged groupies and second-hands stars
A/E A7 D
Shinin' their memories like second-hand cars
G G/F# Em
Plannin' their comebacks in kitchens and bars
A A7 D
Those middle-aged groupies and second-hand stars
[Outro]
N.C.
You know gang, if it wasn't for middle aged groupies, some of us wouldn't have no fans at all
