Chords for What would Willie do

[E] I was lost in troubling strife
[A] I heard a voice _ [Gbm] and it changed my life
[E] And now it's a brand new day
And I ain't [B] ashamed to say
_ [E] You're not alone [Ab] when you're down and [A] out
I think you know who [Gbm] I'm talking about
[E] When I don't know how I'll get through
[B] I ask myself, [A] what [B] would Willie [E] do? _ _
_ _ _ Long ago he came unto [A] us
His words were simple, but they went right through [E] us
And the whole world sang along
_ [B] But then they didn't want to hear his songs
_ [E] He was gone, _ and we thought we'd lost [A] him
But he just grew his hair and he moved to [Gbm] Austin

They [B] came to hear him sing from my house

[Dbm] From New York [B] City [A] down to Mississippi

_ _ _ You know, sometimes I wonder
When I ain't getting nowhere

When things get too much to bear?
[E] And I see him sitting on his lonely old bus
_ And he's got [B] his problems just like any of us
_ _ [E] And I bet he'd just take a deep breath
And he'd let them all go
[Ab] And then he'd [A] take another deep breath
And he'd let them all go
And [E] then he'd _ take another deep breath
And then [B] he'd hold it
[E] _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ And then I bet [E] he'd feel hungry
In a way that seems strange [A] Yes, hungry
For all the things he just can't [E] change
Like the time he passed out in his own bedroom
And [B] his ex-wife sewed him up in the sheet
And she beat him with a broom
And [E] he gave her
And you [Bm] think that that's rough
[A] Then the IRS came
And they took away all his stuff
[E] They took his golf course and his recording studio
_ And he just [B] went on out and did another show
_ [Abm] So [A] when it's all coming down [B] on you
I think you'd [A] better ask yourself
