Intro: G C Em D G


 G                      C
 I've been a waiter, a roofer, a 
clerk
      D                     G
 I've shovelled manure till my pride
 hurt
      G                            
 When you're starting out, it's all
 C
 part of the work
Em     D      G
 To do what I do

 G                     C
 I've been evicted for not making 
rent
      D                        G
 Made my Daddy wonder where my good 
sense went
         G                    C
 For the price of a dream, my years 
have been spent
Em     D      G
 To do what I do

Chorus:

      C                            
 So I stand here tonight with this 
D
six string guitar
       G                     C
 To be something I've always been in
 my heart
 C                      D
 Just for the chance to play you my 
song
     G                      C
 The thrill when I hear you singing 
along
           Am         C        
 It's been worth everything I've 
       D
been through
              G
 To do what I do


  G                    C
 I've played for empty tables and 
chairs
     D                             
 The drunks that don't listen, the 
G
crowds that don't care
 G                                 
 Been told countless times Boy you 
      C
ain't goin' nowhere
Em     D      G
 To do what I do

Chorus:

      C                    D
 So I hope the critics and sceptics 
alike
 G                      C
 All bought a ticket to this show 
tonight
     C                          D
 And they'll see firsthand that I 
have survived
     G                     C
 And what doesn't kill you makes you
 more alive
         Am         C         D
 And I'm one of the fortunate few
              G
 To do what I do



 G                        C
 There's so much joy this music can 
bring
    D                           G
 So I count my blessings when I step
 up to sing
               G                 
 Cause they're so many people who 
       C
would give anything
Em     D      G
 To do what I do

     C           D
 And I thank you
                 G
 I can do what I do
