Song:  Do What You Gotta Do 
Artist:  Garth Brooks

COWPIE already has a version of this but a lot of parts are wrong.  Here's a  
revised version.  This song has my favorite part of any song:  "They'll come  
lookin' for someone to blame" in acapella, 3 part harmony.  You gotta admit,  
it's pretty cool.  E-mail me with corrections or suggestions. 
 
DROP D TUNING 
 
For the intro strum D and play around with you pinky on the third fret.   
You?ll figure it out. 
 
Verse 1: 
 
  D                      G          D 
Sometimes you've got to take the heat 
D                  G                   D 
If your gonna walk down on the mean street 
          G            Bm 
Take the heat and you see it through 
                      A 
'Cause sometimes it comes down to 
                    D     G  Bm  A 
Do what you gotta do 
 
Verse 2: 
 
  D                      G             D 
Sometimes it goes right down to the wire 
D                     G               D 
And you might have to walk through the fire 
      G                Bm 
Walk on, boy, all the way through 
                           A 
'Cause sometimes it just comes down to 
                   D 
Do what you gotta do 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
               G 
Well there's people that'll tell you its just no use 
             A 
And there's people that'll tell you that your gonna lose 
  D             A           Bm                  A         G     A 
People that'll tell you anything your going to listen to 
 
Do what you gotta do 
 
Verse 3: 
 
G Bm A 
 
D                          G       D 
Someday they're going to call your name 
                 *No Chord*                 D 
They'll come looking for someone to blame 
             G                       Bm 
What's your name, boy, hey you just tell them true 
                             A 
'Cause they can't take the truth from you 
                            D  A  A  D 
So do what you gotta do 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
        G 
Well, they'll call you a hero or a traitor 
        A 
But you'll find out that, sooner or later, 
  D      A       Bm            D     G 
Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you 
    A               D 
Do what you gotta do 
 
             D       A      Bm 
There ain't nobody in this world 
             A          G       A 
That's gonna do it for you 
                     D  G  A  D 
Do what you gotta do
