What Would Willie Do

       E      E7
I was lost in trouble and strife
          A             F#m
I heard a voice and it changed my 
life
E                              B
Now it's a brand new day and I ain't
 afraid to say
            E                E7
You're not alone when you're down 
and out
  A                       F#m
I think you know who I'm talking 
about
       E                      
When I don't know how I'll get 
            B           A       
through, I ask myself, what would 
   B      E
Willie do

[Verse 2]
      E          E7
Long ago he came unto us
    A
His words were simple but they went 
right through us
        E
And the whole world sang along
              B
But then they didn't want to hear 
his songs
       E           E7
He was gone and we thought we'd lost
 him
             A
But he just grew his hair and he 
moved to Austin
E
And all of the people smiled
             B
They came to hear him sing from 
miles
           A               B
And like a miracle all the rednecks 
and the hippies
     C#m           B     
From New York City down to 
  A
Mississippi
        E
Stood together and raised a brew
          B               A       
When your skies are grey, what 
   B      E
would Willie do

A   B   E   E

[Verse 3]
              E                    
You know, sometimes I wonder when I
       E7
 ain't gettin' nowhere
           A
What would old Willie do when things
 get too much to bear
                 E
And I see him on sittin’ his lonely 
old bus
                 B
And he's got his problems just like 
any of us
               E               
And I bet he’d just take a deep 
                 E7
breath and he’d let em all go
A
Then he'd take another deep breath 
and he’d let ‘em all go
          E                
Then he'd take another deep 
                    B
breath...then he'd hold it
                         E         
And then I bet he’d feel hungry in 
                 E7
a way that seems strange
     A
Yes, hungry for all the things he 
just can't change
         E
Like the time he passed out in his 
own bedroom
           B
And his ex-wife sewed him up in the 
sheet and she beat him with a broom
          E
And he forgave her, and you think 
that's rough
         A
Then the IRS Came and they took away
 all of his stuff
              E
They took his golf course and his 
recording studio
            B
And he just went on out and did 
another show
             A                  B
So when it's all coming down on you,
                   A            
I think you better ask yourself, 
 B          A       E
what would Willie do

[Verse 4]
           E                   
What would Willie do, well he'd 
           E7
travel so far
                   A
With nothing but a song and an old 
guitar
      E
And a tour bus and some semi-trucks
           B
And thirty crewman and a little bit 
of luck
         E                       
He loves all the people, the rank 
            E7
and the randy
   A
If you don't believe it, take a look
 at the family
            E
And they'll tell you that it's true
          A               B       
When your skies are gray, what 
   A      E     C7
would Willie do?

[Verse 5]
           F
What would Willie do, he'd take a 
little time
         Bb
And he’d talk to old Rooster as they
 drive on down the line
        F
There's millions down that road
           C7
And with a word he's gonna lighten 
their load
         F
He loves all the people no matter 
their races
         Bb
Hell, he even made a hit country 
song with Julio Iglesias
    F
And that ain't easy to do
             C7            Bb 
So when it's all too much, what 
        C7
would Willie
         Dm             C7   Bb  
When the game gets tough,    what
       C7
 would Willie
          Dm             C7   Bb 
When they call your bluff,    
        C7     F
what would Willie do?
