[Verse 1]
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 B A B E
When I don't know how I'll get through, I ask myself, what would 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 A
From New York City down to Mississippi
E
Stood together and raised a brew
B A B E
When your skies are grey, what would Willie do
[Break]
A B E E
[Verse 3]
E E7
You know, sometimes I wonder when I 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 E7
And I bet he’d just take a deep breath and he’d let em all go
A
Then he'd take another deep breath and he’d let ‘em all go
E B
Then he'd take another deep breath...then he'd hold it
E E7
And then I bet he’d feel hungry in 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
