All I Can Do Is Write About It

Lynyrd Skynyrd

 G
G D C (spoken "2-3-4")
G D Em C, G D C

 GD
Well this life that I've lived
 EmC
Has took me everywhere
 GDC
 There ain't no place I ain't never gone

 GD
But it's kinda like the sayin
 EmC
That you heard so many times
 GDC
Well there just ain't no place like home

 GDEmC
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins
 GDC
Or the fish in a river swiwin free
 GDEmC
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
 GDC
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennesee

 GDC
And lord I can't make any changes
 GDC
 All I can do is write 'em in a song
 GDEmC
 Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
 GDC
 Lord take me and mine before that comes

 GDC
 GDC
 Like to see the mountain stream a flowing
Do you like to see a youngin with his dog
 GDEmC
 Did you ever stop and think about well the air you're breathing
 GDC
 Well you better listen to my song

And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
Lord take me and mine before it comes

(key change to A for piano solo)
A E D (played 4x)
(back to G)

 GDC
 I'm not tryin to put down no big city
But the things they write about us is just a bore
 GDEmC
 You can take a boy out of old Dixieland
 GDC
 But you'll never take Dixie from a boy

 GDC
 And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
 GDEmC
 Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
 GDC
 Lord take me and mine before that comes

 GDAmC
Yes well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping
 GDC
 Lord take me and mine before that comes.
