I was lost in [F#] trouble and [F#] strife I heard a voice [G#m] and it changed my life
[F#] Now it's a brand new day [C#] and I ain't [C#] afraid to say
[F#] You're not alone when you're [G#m] down and [B] out
And 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?
[F#] [C#]
[F#] What 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
[C#] When skies are gray, [B] what [C#] would Willie [F#] do?
[C#] Long [F#] ago, Willie came unto [A#] us
[B] His words were simple, but they went right [B] through us
[F#] And the whole world sang along
But then [C#] they didn't want to hear his [C#] songs
He was [F#] gone, and we thought we'd [G#] 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 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?
[C#] [C#]
[F#] You know sometimes I wonder, when I ain't getting nowhere
[B] Well 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
[Fm] Well he'd [F#] just take a deep breath
And then he'd let it all go
[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
And he forgave her
[F#] You think that's rough?
Well then the [G#] IRS came and they took away [B] 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 [C#] on you
You [B] better ask yourself
[C#] What would Willie [F#] do?
What 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#] There's millions down that road
[C#] With a word he's gonna lighten their load
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 [C#] when it's all too [B] much
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?
