Intro: GCEmDGGC
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
CD
And I thank you
G
I can do what I do
