Lyrics and Chords
Well she’s
G
thirty-seven years to
Cadd9
day.
G
Cadd9
And
G
all she ever seemed to
Cadd9
say…
G
Cadd9
She said
Em
”I…
C
I could have
G
been someone,” “You know
D/F#
but
Em
I…
C
I was
G
staring into the
D
sun.”
Chorus
AND SHE SAID,
Em
”YOU COULD FIND THE
C
HARD WAY OF DOING
G
ANYTHING”
Em
”YOU COULD TRY TO
C
MAKE IT ON YOUR
G
O—
D
OWN”
AND SHE SAID
Em
”YOU COULD FIND THE
C
HARD WAY OF DOING
G
ANYTHING”
C
”BUT YOU MAY NEVER
G
MAKE IT ALL A
D
LONE.”
So she
G
ordered up another
Cadd9
round,
G
Cadd9
And she said,
G
”Well I don’t mean to bring you
Cadd9
down.”
G
Cadd9
“But on the
Em
road that we must
C
travel.., take
G
care.”
“Before the
EM
yellow brick turns to
C
gravel, You got to
G
hurry up and take your
D
share!”
Chorus
Bridge
C
”WHATEVER YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE, LEAVE A
G
TRAIL!”
“DON’T YOU KNOW,
B7
SOMETIMES SOME THINGS IN LIFE, WELL YOU
C
JUST CAN’T HELP!”
G/B
Am7
”BUT I SEE BIG THINGS IN YOUR
D
FUTURE,”
D7
“ONCE YOU
Am7
SHINE YOUR LIGHT DOWN THE LINE THAT
D
SUITS
YA’…
D7
B7
Am7
…”OR YOU CAN FIND THE HARD WAY!”

So she
G
lit another ciga
Cadd9
rette,
G
Cadd9
And through her
G
smoke came a passion I’ll
Cadd9
never
forget.
G
Cadd9
She said, “De
Em
si—
Cadd9
ire… is an
G
Angel,.”
D/F#
”And
Em
Pri-
C
ide is such a lonely mis
G
take.”
D/F#
”In
Em
Ambitio-
D/F#
on… lie’s a
Cadd9
danger,”
G/B
”When
Am7
loneliness
D
… is the price you
G
pay!”
Chorus
AND SHE SAID,
Em
”YOU COULD FIND THE
C
HARD WAY OF DOING
G
ANYTHING”
Em
”YOU COULD TRY TO
C
MAKE IT ON YOUR
G
O—
D
OWN”
AND SHE SAID
Em
”YOU COULD FIND THE
C
HARD WAY OF DOING
G
ANYTHING”
C
”BUT YOU MAY NEVER
Em
MAKE IT ALL A
D
LONE.”

Em
OWN…

Em
OWN…
