Chorus: D G D I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate D E7 A7 Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can G D After all I'm standing in the shadows A D Of a very famous man Verse: D As I travel around from town to town G D I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today E7 A7 Now well we're all so glad and we know he would be too D That you're carryin' on his music this way
Verse: D Yes they say Hank was the all time great G D And we know you'll be just as good as your dad G D But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends A7 D That's the part that always makes them sad Chorus: D G D I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate D E7 A7 Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can G D It's Hard standing in the shadows A D Of a very famous man Verse: D G D So many times when I'm on that stage I feel something go through me D E7 A7 And for a minute I'm in a different world and that's when it does something to me D The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud G D While I'm out there taking my bows G D A7 D I look toward the ceiling and I say to myself listen dad just listen to that crowd Verse: D But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more G D I start singing another of your great songs G D A7 *D That's the time that I know although you're gone your music will live on and on and on
