My Gfirst payin' gig Was Uncle DJim's birthday bash When CI got through, they passed the hat I made Deighteen dollars cash Who'd-a Gthought they'd pay good money For Dbendin' guitar strings But it Cmade me think that I might have a Dchance At this Gsingin' thing C G C
[Instrumental] G C [Chorus]
And I'd Cdo it all for nothin' And I'd Gdo it all again It's Amwho I want to be And it's Gwho I've always been Some Cfolks may call me crazy Just a Emfool out chasin' dreams But Amin my heart, it's Geverything to Cme D

As I Gstand here on this stage And Dplay for you tonight CI know why I'm a lucky man DTo live this kind of life GWhen those lights come up And I Dhear those guitars ring CI tip my hat to each and every one of youD And CI thank God that I get to Ddo This Gsingin' thing
