Key: Gb major•
Verse 1
F#
I was lost in trouble and strife
B
G#m
I heard a voice that had changed my life
F#
Now it's a brand new day
C#
and I ain't afraid to say
F#
You're not alone
when you're down and out
B
And I think you know who
G#m
I'm talk in' about
F#
An d I don't know how I'll get through
C#
I ask myself,
B
C#
F#
F#sus4
F#
what would Willie do?
C#
F#
What would Willie do?
Will he travel so far
B
With nothing but a song
G#m
and his old guitar
F#
And a tour bus and some semi -trucks
C#
30 crewmen and a little bit of luck
F#
He loves all the people
The ugly and the randy
B
If you don't believe me
G#m
Take a look at the family
F#
and they'll tell you that it's true
C#
B
When skies are gray what would
C#
F#
F#sus4
F#
Willie do?
C#
F#
Long ago he came unto us
B
His words were simple
but they went right through us
F#
And the whole world sang along
C#
But then they didn't want
to hear his songs
F#
He was gone
And we thought we'd lost him
B
But he grew his hair
And he moved to Austin
F#
And all of the people smiled
C#
We came to hear him sing from miles
B
Like a miracle,
C#
all those rednecks and hippies
D#m
F#
From New York City down
B
to Mississippi
F#
Stood to gether and raised their bread
C#
When it's all gone wrong
B
C#
What would Wil lie
F#
B
F#
C#
do?
F#
You know sometimes I wonder
when I ain't getting nowhere
B
What would old Willie do
F#
when it all gets too much to bear?
And I can see him on his
lonely old tour bus
C#
G#m
He's got his prob lems
C#
just like any of us
F#
Well, he'd just take a deep breath,
and then he'd let it all go
B
And he'd take another deep breath,
and he'd let it all go
F#
And he'd take another deep breath,
C#
and he'd hold it
Oh, and I bet he'd feel hungry
F#
In a way that seems strange,
B
yeah, hungry
For all the things that he just
F#
can't change.
Like the time he passed out
in his own bedroom
and his wife sewed him up in the sheets
C#
and beat him with the broom
F#
and he forgave her.
You think that's rough?
Well then the IRS came
B
and they took away all of his stuff.
They took his golf course
F#
and his recording stu dio
and well he just went out
C#
and didn't show.
B
C#
So when it's all coming down on you,
B
you better ask yourself,
C#
F#
what would Willie do?
C#
F#
What would Willie do?
Will he take a little time
B
and talk to old Rooster
As you drive on down the line
F#
There's millions down that road
C#
With a word he's gonna lighten their load
F#
He loves all the people
No matter their races
B
Hell, he even had a hit country song
With Julio Iglesias
F#
And that ain't easy to do
C#
So when it's all too much
B
C#
What would Wil lie
D#m
when the game gets tough
B
C#
What would Wil lie
D#m
when they call your bluff
B
C#
F#
What would Willie do you
