[Intro] G

G C G

1.There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station

D G

He said Music City is my destination

C D

He said the whole wide world's gonna sing my songs

G C

And you can take that to the bank

Because...

G C

C. I'm on a mission

G C

I'm on a mission

G D G

I'm on a mission from Hank

2.He got a furnished room and a job at the market

He kept a little notebook in his back pocket

And every time you'd see him he was writing a song,

And he'd never leave one page blank

He'd say...

C.

G Csus C Dsus D G

B1.Well, he sang when no one would listen

Csus C Em D

So, he sang until they hung on every word

3.But then one day his phone started ringing

They said we want you and the songs you've been singing

And the kid said fine just give me some time

To talk to my patron saint

You see...

C.

B2.That night as he laid in the darkness

Old Luke the Drifter came to him and said

4.Now here's your chance boy go on and take it

Just sing from the heart and you're gonna make it

But if anybody tries to change you

Into something that you ain't

You tell them...

C.
