[F#] I was lost in trouble and strife [B] I 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 [B] And I think you know who [G#m] I'm talking about
And [F#] 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#] Thirty 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, [G#m] take a look at the family [F#] And they'll tell you that it's true
[C#] When skies are gray, [B] what [C#] would Willie [F#] do?
[C#] [F#]
[C#] Long [F#] ago, Willie came unto us [B] His words were simple, but they went right through [G#m] us
[F#] And the whole world sang along But then [C#] they didn't want to hear his songs
He [F#] 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
[F#] Stood 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 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 [B] they took away 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 when [B] 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 And [F#] there's millions down that road
With [C#] a word he's gonna light an airload
Well, 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 do?
[D#m] When the game gets tough
