National Lampoon - The B-Side Of Love

      [Intro]
G A D

[Verse]
D
I've been into C & W
      Em
Since 1946
       A
Been a sideman, backup singer,
       G             D
Second stringer, overdubber
     D
I've played the Grand Ole Opry
         Em
And I've bus-toured throught the sticks
         A
I've met superstars and poets
           G              D
Saints and sinners, money grubbers.

[Chorus 1]
     G               A
I've hung around and sung around
     D              Em
With country pickup bands
          A                             D G D
I've seen things most folks got no idea of
          D
But there ain't a lot of future
   Em
In playin' one night stands
      A                          G
Where clap is just the B-side of love

[Verse 2]
     D
They call it country singin'
    Em
And bluegrass white trash folk
    A
And down-home cowboy
                      D    G D
Rockabilly Nasheville blues
        D
There's those that take it serious
     Em
Some treat it like a joke
        A                            D
But all I know, it's kept my kids in shoes.

[Bridge]
  F#
I faked the parts I couldn't read
  Bm
I wouldn't waste a dime
     E                       A
On a retake in the studio of time

[Chorus 2]
         G                A
'Cause a snuff queen is a dimestore
        D             Em
Plastic budget rent-a-wife
       A                          D    G D
Like a pigeon's just an imitation dove
     D
I've never had a bullet
       Em
On the hit parade of life
    A                          D    G D
And clap is just the B-side of love
    A                          D    G D
And clap is just the B-side of love
