Big In Vegas

C                                 
When I was young I left the home 
   F             C
and went away  to Vegas

With my guitar and my dreams  I had 
   F                        C
to try to play and sing  in Vegas

       Am                  Em     
But my momma told me I was wrong  
        Am                  Em
and she begged me to stay at home

       F                           
But my will was strong and I had to
         G7      C
 make it big  in Vegas


               G7               
They'll put my name up in lights 
                       F
where I play  and the lines out in

front will be long  I'll get a 
                        F
standing ovation from the people 
when

                   C     F        
I start to sing my song  when I 
             C
turn 'em on in Vegas


Well I've played every honky tonk 
    F             C
and smokey bar in Vegas

And I guess I don't have what it 
F              C
takes  for Las Vegas

       Am                  Em     
But my dreams still linger on  oh 
   Am              Em
my faith is almost gone

       F                           
But my will is strong and I've 
         G7      C
gotta make it big  in Vegas


               G7               
They'll put my name up in lights 
                       F
