Introdução:
C
It's Saturday night and the bar room is howlin'
G C
With young weekend cowboys, all struttin' and a-prowlin'
Am
Drinkin' straight bourbon and tryin' not to shiver
G C
As it burns down their throats and plays hell with their liver
G
On a small stage in the bar's furthest corner
C
Sits Henry Holloway playin' his guitar
F
Under the spotlight sweat on his face glistenin'
F C
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G C
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F C
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G Dm C
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
C
Evelyn sits by the stage she's the only one clappin'
G C
With eyes brightly shinin', feet in time a-tappin'
Am
Face full of love as she watches her man
G C
In his shirt of blue rhinestones she sewed on by hand
G
Sweet red lips movin' as she sings along
C
Joinin' with Henry on his every song
F
Although she's heard them about one million times
G Dm C
'Cause love is tone deaf as well as stone blind!
F C
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G C
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F C
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G Dm C
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
C
Now the noise in the bar's like a volcano explodin'
G C
But up on the stage young Henry is floatin'
Am
Eyes closed and driftin' through his favorite dream
G C
He sings of places that he's never seen
G
Like Nashville and Memphis, New York and L.A.
C
You can bet even money he'll get there someday
F
But if he don't, he might just not care
G Dm C
'Cause when he sings his songs, he's already there
F C
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G C
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F C
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G Dm C
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
C
Now Saturday night's turned into Sunday mornin'
G C
The bar room is empty the bar tender's yawnin'
Am
Home go the cowboys with their jeans and high boots
G C
Come Monday they'll put on their ties and dark suits
G
Back to the motel go Henry and Evelyn
C
She falls asleep with her arms wrapped around him
F
She dreams of motel rooms and cheap crowded bars
G Dm C
Henry lies wide awake, and dreams of the stars
F C
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G C
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F C
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G Dm C
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
