I Wanna Do Right
Sam Bush (from Laps in Seven)
By Sam Bush & Jeff Black

A augmentedA song about Hurricane Katrina

Intro:
A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD

Verse 1:
      A augmentedA
Throw me a life line
      D MajorD
Is anybody home.
      E MajorE
Seems like yesterday ‘ay I was just standing on the corner,
D MajorD
waiting for the old bon ton

Verse 2:
        A augmentedA
It never was a real job
           D MajorD
Never worked all the time.
    E MajorE                       D MajorD
But it paid for a this and a that, bought the baby perfume,
D MajorD
and it kept us alive

Break 1:
  E MajorE
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to turn the
F# minorF#m
time back around and the
G+G              D MajorD
tanka tanka accordion

Chorus:
      A augmentedA    D MajorD
I wanna do right
          A augmentedA     D MajorD
I don’t want to do wrong
        A augmentedA      D MajorD
I wanna keep it simple
        A augmentedA      D MajorD
I wanna keep it strong
         A augmentedA
I need to help my brothers
D MajorD          G+G  A augmentedA D MajorD
And help the family rise above
      A augmentedA    D MajorD
I wanna do right
          A augmentedA     D MajorD
I don’t want to do wrong

Verse 3:
          A augmentedA
I miss the kind of trouble
           D MajorD
That never lasted too long.
  E MajorE
The kind where you could clear your mind with a couple of
D MajorD
drinks and a traveling song

Verse 4:
           A augmentedA
I never had a bowl of cherries no,no
        D MajorD
Now that ain’t news.
    E MajorE
But I’d give anything to get back to that dirty old
D MajorD
room full of mingingy blues

Break 2:
      E MajorE
I think I’d rather have the wind and the
F# minorF#m
rain and the president’s
G+G              D MajorD
plane and a big bass drum

Chorus:
      A augmentedA    D MajorD
I wanna do right

I wanna keep it simple
        A augmentedA      D MajorD
I wanna keep it strong
         A augmentedA
I need to help my brothers
D MajorD          G+G  A augmentedA D MajorD
And help the family rise above
      A augmentedA    D MajorD
I wanna do right
          A augmentedA     D MajorD
I don’t want to do wrong

Break 2:
      E MajorE

rain and the president’s
G+G              D MajorD
