Verse 1
D 
I  was lost in trouble and strife,
G 
Em 
I heard a voice and it changed my life
D 
And now it's a brand new day,
A 
and I ain't afraid to say
D 
You're not alone when
you're down and out
G 
And I think you know who
Em 
I'm talking about
D 
When I don't know how I'll get through
A 
G 
A 
I ask myself what would Willie
D 
Dsus4 
D 
A 
do

Verse 2
D 
What would Willie do, well he'd travel so far with
G 
Em 
nothing but a song and his old guitar
D 
And a tour bus and some semi-trucks,
A 
thirty thirty crew men and a little bit of luck
D 
Well he loves all the people,
the ugly and the randy
G 
If you don't believe me
Em 
take a look at the family
D 
And they'll tell you that it's true
A 
G 
When skies are gray what would
A 
D 
Dsus4 
D 
Willie do
A 
Well long ago

Verse 3
D 
he came unto us,
G 
his words were simple but they went right through us
D 
And the whole world sang along,
A 
but then they didn't want to hear his songs
D 
He was gone and we
thought we'd lost him
G 
But he grew his hair and he
moved to Austin
D 
And all of the people smiled,
A 
they came to hear him sing from miles
G 
A 
Like a miracle all those
rednecks and hippies
Bm 
D 
From New York City down
G 
to Mississippi
D 
Stood together and raised a brew
A 
G 
When it's all gone wrong what
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
would Willie do

Verse 4
D 
You know sometimes I wonder
when I ain't gettin' nowhere
G 
What would old Willie do when it all
D 
gets too much to bear
And I can see him on his
lonely old tour bus
A 
And he's got his prob
Em 
A 
lems just like any of us
D 
Well he'd just take a deep breath
and then he'd let it all go
G 
And he'd take another deep breath
D 
and let it all go
And he'd take another deep
A 
breath...and he'd hold it
D 
Ah and I bet he'd feel hungry
in a way that seems strange
G 
Yeah hungry for all the things
D 
that he just can't change
Like the time he passed out
in is own bedroom
A 
And his wife sewed him up in the sheets and beat
D 
him with a broom and he forgave her
And you think that's rough,
G 
well then the IRS came and they took away all of his stuff
D 
They took his golf course and his recording studio,
A 
and he just went out and did another show
G 
So when it's all coming down on you
A 
G 
A 
You better ask yourself what
D 
A 
would Willie do

Verse 5
D 
What would Willie do,
well he'd take a little time
G 
And talk to old rooser as he'd drive
on down the line
D 
And there's millions down that road,
A 
and with a word he's gonna lighten their load
D 
He loves all the people no
matter their races
G 
Hell he even had a hit country
song with Julio Iglesias
D 
A 
And that ain't easy to do, so when it's all too much,
G 
A 
what would Willie
Bm 
When the game gets tough
G 
A 
what would Willie
Bm 
When they call your bluff
G 
A 
D 
what would Willie do
