    NOBODY GONNA TELL ME WHAT TO DO      Van Zant

Em               Em+C#                   Em+D                Em+C  
Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift
Em              Em+C#
When I threw my hard hat at him
      Em+D            Em+C  
And suggested the box where he could stick it
G              Em                        C
I walked down-stairs an told em I was leaving Bethlehem
          Em                    D 
Like I'd seen the Saviour had tears in my eyes
  C
Holding my hands up and shouting Amen

CHORUS
             G                  D               C   
Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
         G                   D    
I spent most of my life a wrapped up tight
      C             Bb          Am    G 
In somebody else's hand me down old shoes
           D               Em               C    
Starting today I'm someone I'd be proud to know
Am         G               C 
You might tell me where to go
           G                  D               G  D C G D C  
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do




    Em          Em+C#                   Em+D              Em+C  
We buried Daddy just last week at the church 'To Save The soul'
Em               Em+C#  
Man he dreamed of pilot's wings
           Em+D              Em+C  
Spent his whole life diggin' coal
   G            Em                     C          
I got a guitar under my bed but I've been too scared to fly
 Em                                   D           n.c. 
But that's enough of that stuff I'm packin' up my truck
n.c.
They can just kiss my butt goodbye

to chorus
lead
ENDING
             G                  D               C   
Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do

(Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do)
         G                   D    
I spent most of my life a wrapped up tight
      C             Bb          Am    G 
In somebody else's hand me down old shoes
           D               Em               C    
Starting today I'm someone I'd be proud to know
Am         G               C 
You might tell me where to go
           G                  D               G  D C G D C  
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
G n.c.                                  Em         
I walked downstairs and told em I was leaving Bethlehem
