Intro: G C Em D/F# G

Verse 1:

G C

I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk

D G

I've shoveled manure, till my pride hurt

G C

When your startin' out it's all part of the work

Em D/F# G

To do what I do

Verse 2:

G C

I've been evicted, for not makin' rent

D G

I made my daddy wonder where my good sense went

G C

For the price of a dream, my years have been spent

Em D/F# G

To do what I do

Chorus:

C

So I stand here tonight

D

With this six string guitar

G C

To be something I've always been in my heart

C D

Just for the chance to play you my song

G C

The thrill when I hear you singing along

Am C D

Has been worth everything I've been through

G

To do what I do

Verse 3:

G C

I've played for empty tables and chairs

D

For drunks that don't listen

G

Crowds that don't care

G

Been told countless times

C

Boy you ain't goin nowhere

Em D/F# G

To do what I do

Chorus 2:

C D

So I hope the critics and skeptics alike

G C

All bought a ticket to this show tonight

C D

They'll see first hand that I have survived

G C

What doesn't kill you makes you more alive

Am C D

and I'm one of the fortunate few

G

To do what I do

Verse 4:

G C

There's so much joy, this music can bring

D G

So I count my blessings when I step up to sing

G C

Cause there's so many people that would give anything

Em D/F# G

To do what I do

C D G

And I thank you, I can do what I do
