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 _ and [C#] I ain't afraid to say _
[F#] You're not alone when you're [C#m] down and [A#] [B] out
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#]
What [F#] would Willie do?
Well he'd travel so far
[B] With nothing but a song and [G#m] 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 _
When [C#] skies are gray, [B] what [C#] would Willie [F#] _ do?
[G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#]
Long [F#] ago, _ Willie came unto [A#]
us
[B] His words were simple, but they went right through us
And [F#] 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 [B] down to Mississippi
Stood [F#] together and raised a broom _
When [C#] it's all gone wrong, [B] what would [C#] 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
He's [C#] 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#] 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 recording [F#] 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 airload
Well he [F#] loves all the people, no matter their races
[B] Hell, he even had a hit country song with Julio [F#] Iglesias
And that ain't easy to do
So when [C#] it's all too [B] much
What would [C#] Willie [D#m] do when the game gets tough?
[B] What would [C#] Willie do when they [D#m] call your bluff?
[B] What [C#] would Willie [F#] _ do? _ _ _ _
