The Opening Act

G D A G

 D
Thunder Bay must have been a big 
mess
 G
Night bus to Regina, I'm not at my 
best
 D                                 
Trying to play straight, but I come
    A
 undone
 D
No, I can't connect, I'm missing the
 mark
 G
Second night of the tour and I'm 
having second thoughts
 D        A          D
On this road headed west
 D
Winnipeg on a Friday night
 G
Well, it's cold to the bone, so I'm 
gonna get high
 D                                 
Starting to remember the words and 
            A
the reason why
 D
Saskatoon is colder yet
 G
But I'm finally getting into the set
 D
I know this is what I do, but 
sometimes I forget

[Chorus]
 G               A           
And the opening act was a nice 
         D
surprise
 G                D           
Couldn't get her name straight, 
  G             A
maybe I'm too high
 G          D                  
Many a mile to nowhere doing the 
    G
same old thing
 D                        G       
So I'll sing my song and see what 
           D
tomorrow brings

[Verse 2]
 D
In Calgary, I broke a spoke
                            G      
I'm forgetting all the words, 
                D
trying to make it a joke
 D                                 
Feeling kind of low, but you make 
   A
it work
 D
Edmonton's a beautiful drive
 D
See the northern lights, pull over 
for a while
 A               D
Oh, the silence is nice
 D
Then it's over the mountains to the 
rainy city
       G              D
The Orpheum is oh—so pretty
D                           A
Always a party in Vancouver town
D
But I'm up at dawn to get the first 
ferry
                  G            D
Sleeping on the bus, feeling weary
A                        D
Yeah, I'm starting to rust

[Chorus]
 G               A           
And the opening act was a nice 
    D
surprise
 G                D           
Couldn't get her name straight, 
  G             A
maybe I'm too high
 G          D                  
Many a mile to nowhere doing the 
    G
same old thing
 D                        G       
So I'll sing my song and see what 
           D
tomorrow brings

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
 D
Victoria Airport on three hours 
sleep
 G
I'm standing in line asleep on my 
feet
 D                                 
And I bounce in my seat all the way
    A
 to YVR
 D
And when I get home, I should be 
tired
 G
But my body's burnt and my brain is 
wired
 D               A            D
And I sing this song all night long

[Chorus]
 G                            
And the opening act was a nice 
       D
surprise
 G                             
Couldn't get her name straight, 
             A
maybe I'm too high
 G          D                  
Many a mile to nowhere doing the 
    G
same old thing
 D               A        G
So I'll sing my song and see
 D                 A         G
Yeah, I'll sing my song and see
 D                 A         G   
Yeah, I'll sing my song and see 
             D     A
what tomorrow brings
