[Intro]
F Dm F Dm
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
F C G
Are secretly unhappy men because
Bb Gm Bb Gm
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
D G C
Get paid for what they do but no applause
E B7 E
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
C Am G
For anything theatrical, and why?

[Verse 1]
C Am
There's no business like show business
C Am
Like no business I know
G C
Everything about it is appealing
G C
Everything the traffic will allow
G Am
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
D G
When you are stealing that extra bow

[Verse 2]
C Am
There's no people like show people
C Am
They smile when they are low
Dm G C A
Even when they tell you that your show will fold
D G C A
You may be stranded out in the cold
Dm G C A
Still, you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Dm G C
Let's go on with the show

[Bridge]
F Dm F Dm
The cowboys, the tumblers, the wrestlers, the clowns
F C G
The roustabouts who move the show at dawn
Bb Gm Bb Gm
The music, the spotlight, the people, the towns
D G C
Your baggage with the labels pasted on
E B7 E
The sawdust and the horses and the smell
C Am G
The towel you've taken from the last hotel

[Verse 3]
C Am
There's no business like show business
C Am
Like no business I know
G C
You get word before the show has started
G C
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
G Am
Top of that your pa and ma have parted
D G
You're broken hearted but you go on
