Billy Joe Royal - I've got to be somebody

I ^Cnever had any reason, ^Ffor ambition or ^Cdrive^F. In fact, I ^Cnever had anybody ^Fthat cared if I'm ^Calive^F. But ^Cthen one day she came my way and I ^Eheard a voice within me say don't ^Flet her get away.. whatever you ^Fmdo. But I ^Cnever thought that this could ^Fbe..that ^Cshe would ever look at ^Fme, serious^Dmly.

And ^Gthat's why (oh, Lord, oh, ^CLord) I gotta be some^Ambody. I'm down on my ^Fknees..begging please, please, please, ^Gplease. I've got to win her love for ^Amme.

I ^Cgrew up on the sidewalks, ^Fgot along the best I ^Ccould^F. ^CMama worked all day long, and ^FPapa was no ^Cgood.^F I've ^Cnever asked for much before but ^Ehere I am at Heaven's door..so, ^Fhelp me, please, don't let her pass me ^Fmby. Cause I ^Cwould rather die, than ^Fsee, her ^Cmlove turn in^Cto sympat^Fhy for ^Dmme. ^G

And ^Gthat's why (oh, Lord, oh, ^CLord) I gotta be some^Ambody. I'm down on my ^Fknees..begging please, please, please, ^Gplease. I've got to win her love for ^Amme. ^{E Dm C}

^FMmmmm-mmmm-mmm..gotta be some^Cbody.^{F C}Got to be some^Fbody. ^CSo tired of being a no^Fbody.

Oh, ^CLord, Lord, Lord, I gotta be some^Ambody. I'm down on my ^Fknees..begging please, please, please, ^Gplease..(Fade.)
