Verse 3
I was knocking on (C major) the pearly gates,
(A minor) made of precious (D major) stone
Looked kind of oth (C major) er worldly,
(D major) inside there was a throne
(G major) I was let in by a (C major) stranger,
who (A minor) I'd seen somewhere (D major) be fore
I thought, well (C major) it'll come to me,
(D major) here in the evermore
(G major) Suddenly from (C major) out of nowhere,
(A minor) a vision did (D major) appear
It was my old (C major) granddaddy, he (D major) said "Son,
what are you doin' here?"
(G major) "Well it wasn't in (C major) my plans you know,
(A minor) I done come (D major) un stuck
I played out all (C major) my hand and I
(D major) just ran all out of luck"
(G major) He said, "Well if you (C major) can't pot the black,
(A minor) and you know it's not (D major) the cue
It may (G major) be time (C major) to ask yourself,
(D major) what would Bob do?"
(G major)
Verse 4
What would (C major) Bob do? What
(E minor) would (D major) Bob do?
What (G major) would (C major) Bob do? (D major) What
would Bob do? (G major)
Verse 5
Now you may well (C major) just find yourself,
(A minor) on the ballroom (D major) floor
You know (G major) you cannot get (C major) away,
(D major) you cannot reach the door
(G major) Just try to (C major) relax yourself,
(A minor) and sit down on (D major) your hips
You (G major) don't have (C major) to move too much,
(D major) and try no to lick your lips
(G major) If things seem to (C major) be working,
and (A minor) she hasn't moved (D major) away
You can breathe (G major) a little (C major) easier,
(D major) and think of what to say
(G major) If you spin around (C major) and she is gone,
(A minor) and you know it's not (D major) with you
Then you have (C major) to ask yourself
(D major) "What would Bob do?"
(G major) What would (C major) Bob do?
Verse 6
(E minor)
What would (D major) Bob do?
What (G major) would (C major) Bob do? (D major) What
would Bob do? (G major)
Verse 7
(G major) I was standing by (C major) a house at night,
(A minor) going up in flames (D major) and smoke
I (G major) was los (C major) ing everything, (D major) it really was no joke
(G major) To cap it off (C major) I'm naked,
and (A minor) there's people (D major) all around
I could see (G major) an old (C major) dog barking,
but (D major) I couldn't hear the sound
(G major) The only thing (C major) that I could hear,
(A minor) which came out of (D major) the blue
Was the voice (G major) inside (C major) my own head, say
(D major) ing, "What would Bob (G major) do?"
Verse 8
What would Bob do? (C major) What
(E minor) would (D major) Bob do?
What (G major) would Bob do? (C major) (D major) What
would Bob do? (G major)
Verse 9
As luck would sometimes have (C major) it, the
(A minor) good Lord was in (D major) my dream
He (G major) was smiling sweetly, (C major)
and (D major) was wearing Lincoln green
(G major) I asked if he (C major) would come again,
(A minor) if the rumours were (D major) all true,
He thought awhile (C major) and spoke and said,
(D major) now "What would Bob do?"
(G major)
Verse 10
What would (C major) Bob do?
What (E minor) would (D major) Bob do?
What (G major) would (C major) Bob do? (D major) What would Bob do? (G major)
Verse 11
And as the lights (G major) they all came down,
(A minor) I was standing by the (D major) stage
He was cloaked in dark (C major) ness,
and (D major) his face it showed no (G major) age
I took one step closer,
just (A minor) to get a better (D major) view
I swear I saw him smile and say
now "What would Bob do?"
(G major)
Verse 12
What would (C major) Bob do?
What (E minor) would (D major) Bob do?
What (G major) would Bob do? (C major) (D major) What
would Bob do? (G major)
Verse 13
Then I suddenly (G major) awakened,
and (A minor) I simply can't (D major) pretend,
To under (G major) stand (C major) the way of things,
(D major) and how it all may (G major) end
But if the question's simple (C major) say,
(A minor) do I wear red, (D major) or blue
Now they're (G major) are times (C major) you ask yourself, (D major)
(G major) "What would (C major) Bob do?"
What (E minor) would
Verse 14
(D major) Bob (G major) (C major) do? (D major) What would Bob do?
(G major) What would (C major) Bob do? (D major) (E minor)
(D major) What (G major) would Bob do? (C major) (D major)
