[Verse 1]
C
My leading lady is gone
F        G          C
And it's hard to go on
F                    C
Without the part she played
Dm7               F           G
My life's just an empty stage

[Chorus]
             F             C
Cause she's a  hard act to follow
  F                    G       C
I thought I'd find somebody by now
          F             Am
But she's   hard act to follow
    Dm7                 G           C
Her leavin' brought the whole house down

[Verse 2]
C
She was so right for the part
    F                 G       C
The way she fit right into my heart
F                  C
After the love she gave
Dm7            F             G
Who could ever take her place

[Chorus]
             F             C
Cause she's a  hard act to follow
  F                    G       C
I thought I'd find somebody by now
          F             Am
But she's   hard act to follow
    Dm7                 G           C
Her leavin' brought the whole house down

[Solo]
| C | F G | C |

[Bridge]
F                    C
Without the part she played
   Dm7            F           G
My life's just an empty stage

[Chorus]
             F             C
Cause she's a  hard act to follow
  F                    G       C
I thought I'd find somebody by now
          F             Am
But she's   hard act to follow
    Dm7                 G           C
Her leavin' brought the whole house down

[Outro]
F                Am
   A hard act to follow
    Dm7                       G7    C    G  C
Her leavin' brought the whole house down
