Intro

G C Em D G G C I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk D G I've shovelled manure till my pride hurt G C When you're starting out, it's all part of the work Em D G To do what I do G C I've been evicted for not making rent D G Made my Daddy wonder where my good sense went G C For the price of a dream, my years have been spent Em D G To do what I do

Chorus

C D So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar G C To be something I've always been in my heart C D Just for the chance to play you my song G C The thrill when I hear you singing along Am C D It's been worth everything I've been through G To do what I do G C I've played for empty tables and chairs D G The drunks that don't listen, the crowds that don't care G C Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhere Em D G To do what I do

Chorus

C D So I hope the critics and sceptics alike G C All bought a ticket to this show tonight C D And they'll see firsthand that I have survived G C And what doesn't k**l you makes you more alive Am C D And I'm one of the fortunate few G To do what I do G C There's so much joy this music can bring D G So I count my blessings when I step up to sing G C Cause they're so many people who would give anything Em D G To do what I do C D And I thank you G I can do what I do
