I'M GONNA BE SOMEBODY, by Travis Tritt
Transcribed by Diron Ahlquist


[G]Bobby played his [D]guitar on the [C]hard side of [D]town

[G]Where it's hard for a [D]poor boy to find the [C]mon[D]ey.

[G]He had dedica[D]tion, he [C]had the heart and [D]soul.

[C]Somehow [D]knew he was born to [G]play.


[G]They said get a [D]real job sup[C]port your fami[D]ly

[G]Cause there's no [D]future on the [C]road your [D]takin'

[G]But he never [D]said a word, the [C]dreamer just kept [D]on

[C]Late at [D]night you could hear him [G]sing.


CHORUS

[G]I'm gonna [C]be somebod[D]y, [G]one of these [C]days I'm gonna [D]break
these         
         chains.

[G]I'm gonna [C]be somebod[D]y, some[Em]day, you can [C]bet your hard earned 
         [D]dollar I [G]will.


[G]Bobby played his [D]hometown, one [C]full moon August [D]night

[G]He heard a [D]voice out [C]in the front [D]row

[G]It's a sandy-haired [D]Texas boy with [C]same ole hungry [D]eyes

[C]Looked up at [D]Bobby and [G]said

CHORUS

You can bet your hard earned dollar I will.
