Intro: GCEmDG
GC I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk DG I've shovelled manure till my pride hurt GC When you're starting out, it's all part of the work EmDG To do what I do
GC I've been evicted for not making rent DG Made my Daddy wonder where my good sense went GC For the price of a dream, my years have been spent EmDG To do what I do
Chorus:
CD So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar GC To be something I've always been in my heart CD Just for the chance to play you my song GC The thrill when I hear you singing along AmCD It's been worth everything I've been through G To do what I do
GC I've played for empty tables and chairs DG The drunks that don't listen, the crowds that don't care GC Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhere EmDG To do what I do
Chorus:
CD So I hope the critics and sceptics alike GC All bought a ticket to this show tonight CD And they'll see firsthand that I have survived GC And what doesn't kill you makes you more alive AmCD And I'm one of the fortunate few G To do what I do
GC There's so much joy this music can bring DG So I count my blessings when I step up to sing GC Cause they're so many people who would give anything EmDG To do what I do
