[A]
[D] I know that I'm not great, and [G] some say I am [D] a fake.
Anymore I don't know, I'm [E] just doing the best I [F#m] [A] can.
[G] After all I'm standing [D] in the shadows [A] of a very [D] famous man.
As I travel around town to town, [G] I have a lot of [D] Dad's fans and friends come around.
They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today.
[E] While we're all so glad and we [A] know he would be too that you're carrying on [D] his music this way.
Yes they say Hank was a all time great, [G]
and we know [D] you'll be just as good as your Dad.
[G] But I just smile and say [D] there'll never be another Hank Williams friends.
[A] That's the part [D] that always makes him sad.
Yes I know [A] that [D]
I'm not great, [G] and some say I [D] am a take.
Anymore I don't know, [E] I'm just doing the [C#m] best [A] I can.
[G] It's hard standing [D] in the shadows [A] of a very [D] famous man.
So many times when I'm on that stage, [G] I feel [D] something go through me.
And for a minute I'm in a different world.
[E] And that's when it does [A] something to me.
[D] The people are hollering and clapping real loud.
[G]
While I'm out [D] there taking my bows,
[G] I look up toward the ceiling [D] and say to myself,
Listen [A] Dad, just listen [D] to that crowd.
But as the show goes on, the people clap and holler [G] more.
I start to sing [D] another of your great songs.
[G] That's the time that I know [D] although you're gone,
[A] Your music will live on and on and on.
