What Would Willie Do

      D
I was lost in trouble and strife
          G
I heard a voice and it changed my 
life
D
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 I'm talking
 about

When I don't know how I'll get 
through
  A          G          A      D
I ask myself What would Willie do?


[ CHORUS 1 ]

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


[ VERSE 2 ]

D
Well long ago 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,

they came to hear him sing from 
miles.
       G                 A
Like a miracle all those rednecks 
and hippies
     D                    
from New York city down to 
 G
Mississippi
      D
stood together and raised a brew
          A              G        
When it's all gone wrong what 
  A
would Willie do?


[ BRIDGE ]

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


[ CHORUS 2 ]

D
What would Willie do well he'd take 
a little time
    G
and talk to old Rooster 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
and that ain't easy to do
             A            G
So when it's all too much what would
 Willie
         D                         
when the game gets tough what would
 A
 Willie
          D               G       
when they call your bluff what 
   A      D
would Willie do?
