[Spoken Intro]
D
I never saw myself playing music in front of people,
let alone for a living. But I was studying abroad in Estonia,
folks started listening to me practice.
Then one night, I got called up to play a few songs at a concert I was at,
and that seemed to go pretty well.
Then that next week, I got a call from a fashion designer.
She asked me to play for a show that Friday. So I said yes, and it went like this:
[Verse 1]
D
Well the first time I ever played for a dollar
G D
Was a lingerie fashion show
D
There were people all around just bobbin' their heads
A7
With a smile and a look of hope
G D
As the girls walked straight and turned on the dime
G
To the rhythm of a country rhyme
D
I look back on all the times I ever played
A7 D
And think "Where the hell did I go wrong?"
[Chorus]
D A D
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
D A D
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
G A
I got the words all wrong to every damn song
D G
I was lookin' at the girls walkin' 'round in thongs
D A D
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
[Verse 2]
D
Well since then, I can't quite contend
G D
Although I played a hundred shows or more
D
From Arkansas to Estonia
A7
And the New York City dance floors
G A
I've played for thousands of people in hundreds of places
D G
Earned my share of pennies too
D
And I look back on all the times I ever played
A7 D
And think "Where the hell did I go wrong?"
[Chorus]
D A D
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
D A D
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
G A
I got the words all wrong to every damn song
D G
I was lookin' at the girls walkin' 'round in thongs
D A D
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
[Solo]

[Chorus]
D A D
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
D A D
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
G A
I got the words all wrong to every damn song

Well I peaked the first show I ever played
