What Would Willie Do Chords by Gary Allan

[F#] I was lost _ in trouble and strife I [B] heard a voice _ [G#m] and it changed my life
[F#] Now it's a brand new day _ _ [C#] and I ain't afraid to say _
You're [F#] not alone when you're down [C#m] and [A#] out
And [B] I think you know who [G#m] I'm talking about
[F#] And I don't know how I'll get through _
[C#] I ask myself, [B] what [C#] would Willie [F#] do?
_ _ _ _ [C#] _
[F#] What would Willie do?
Well he'd travel so far
[B] With nothing but a song [G#m] and his old guitar
[F#] And a tour bus and some semi-trucks _
[C#] 30 crewmen and a little bit of luck
He [F#] loves all the people, the ugly and the randy _
[B] If you don't believe me, take [G#m] a look at the family
And [F#] they'll tell you that it's true _ _
[C#] When skies are gray, [B] what [C#] would Willie [F#] do?
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] [F#] Long ago, _ Willie came unto us
[B] His words were simple, but they went right through us
[F#] And the whole world sang along
_ But then [C#] they didn't want to hear his songs
[F#] _ He was gone, and we thought we'd lost him
But [B] he grew his hair and he moved to Austin
[F#] And all of the people smiled
_ They came [C#] to hear him sing from miles
Like [B] a miracle, all [C#] those rednecks and hippies
[D#m] From New York City [C#] down [B] to Mississippi
Stood [F#] together and raised a broom
_ When [C#] it's all gone wrong, [B] what [C#] would Willie _
[F#] do?
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
[F#] You know sometimes I wonder, when I ain't getting nowhere
Well [B] what would old Willie do when it all gets too much to bear?
[F#] _
_ And I can see him on his lonely old tour bus _
[C#] He's got his problems just like any of us
_ Well he'd [F#] just take a deep breath
And then he'd let it all go
[E] _ [F#] _
[B] Then he'd take another deep breath
And he'd let it all go
[F#] Then he'd take another deep breath _ _
[C#] And he'd hold it
_ _ _ Oh and I bet he'd [F#] feel hungry
In a way that seems strange, yeah [B] hungry
For all the things that he just can't change
[F#] Like the time he passed out in his own bedroom
And his wife sewed him up in the [C#] sheets
And beat him with the broom
[F#] [C#] And he forgave her
[F#] And you think that's rough?
Well then the IRS came and [G#m] they took away [B] all of his stuff
They took his golf course and his [F#] recording studio
Well he just went out and did another show
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ So [B] when it's all coming down on [C#] you
You [B] better ask yourself
[C#] What would Willie [F#] do?
_ _ _ _ [C#] What [F#] would Willie do?
Well he'd take a little time
[B] And talk to old Rooster
As he'd drive on down the line
[F#] And there's millions down that road _
[C#] With a word he's gonna light an air load
_ He [F#] loves all the people
No matter their races
[B] Hell he even had a hit country song
With Julio Iglesias
[F#] And that ain't easy to do
So [C#] when it's all too much
[B] What [C#] would Willie [D#m] when the game gets tough?
[B] What [C#] would Willie [D#m] when they call your bluff?
[B] What [C#] would Willie [F#] do? _ _ _ _ _ _
