This is quite possibly the best and most under-rated song that buck owens
plays.  It is taken from his greatest hits album.  On the album it is picked
with frequent hammer-ons, but these are the chords.

"Big In Vegas"
Buck Owens

D                                    G             D
when i was young i left the home and went away, to Vegas
D                                      G                       D
with my guitar and my dreams, i had to try to play and sing, in Vegas
       Bm                  F#m            Bm                  F#m
but my momma told me i was wrong, and she begged me to stay at home
       G                                    A       D         
but my will was strong and i had to make it big, in vegas
               
chorus:        
               A                                       G
they'll put my name up in lights where i play, and the lines out in
D                A                                 G  
front will be long, i'll get a standing ovation from the people, when 
                   D     G                    D
i start to sing my song, when i turn em on in Vegas

well i've played every honky tonk and smokey bar, in vegas
and i guess i don't have what it takes, for las vegas
but my dreams still linger on, oh my faith is almost gone,
but my will is strong and i've gotta make it big, in vegas

chorus

la la la la la la la la, big in vegas.
