I hope this makes sense,any suggestions, let me know.
The little walk downs make this song sound good.

intro:   G C Em F#/ G

(G)I've been a waiter, a (C)roofer, a clerk
I've (D)shoveled manure, till (F#/)my pride (G)hurt
When (G)your startin' out it's all (C)part of the work
(Em)To do (F#/)what I (G)do


(G)I've been evicted, for (C)not makin' rent
Made (D)my dad wonder
Where my (F#/)good sense (G)went
For the(G)price of a dream, my good(C)years have been spent
(Em)To do (F#/)what I (G)do

chorus;

So I(C) stand here tonight
With this (D)six string guitar
To be (G)somethin' I've (B)always (C)been in my heart
(B/C)Just for the chance to (D)play you my song
The )G)thrill when I (B/)hear you (C/)singin' along(B/)
Has been (Am)worth every(B/)thing I've been (D)through
To do what I (G)do


(F#/ G)I've played for empty (C)tables and chairs
For (D)drunks that don't listen
(F#/ G)Crowds that don't care
(G)Been told countless times
Boy you ain't (C)goin' nowhere
(Em)To do (F#/)what (G)I do


So I (C)hope the critics and (D)skeptics alike
(G)All bought a ticket (B/)to (C)this show tonight
(B/ C)They'll see first hand that (D)I have survived
(G/B)What doesn't kill you (C/)makes you more alive
And I'm (Am)one of the (B/)fortunate (D)few
To do what I (G)do

(F#/G)There's so much joy, this (C)music can bring
So (D)I count my blessings when I (G)step up to sing
(F#/)Cause there's (G)so many people 
That would (C)give anything
(Em)To do (F#/)what I (G)do

(A/B/)And I thank (D)you, I can do what I (G)do(Em /F#/ G)
