I'm Gonna Be Somebody

Travis Tritt

	I was going through the archives and saw this song. I figured it out
for myself a long time ago and saw what I thought to be a few errors so
I thought I would just post my own complete version. There was also a
whole verse missing, I don't know if this was done purposely or not, but
I'll get it in there. Thanks.

INTRO: G C D D  G C D D
G                D             C                D
Bobby played his guitar on the harder side of town
G                     D                    C  D
Where it's hard for a poor boy to find the money
G          D          C                 D
He had dedication, he had the heart and soul
C          D                   G       D
   Somehow knew he was born to play

G                  D
People'd say get a real job
   C             D
Support your family
G                D                         C  D
Cause there's no future in the road you're taking
G               D         C                 D
He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
C       D                        G                   D
Late at night you could hear him say         (he'd say)

Chorus:
G         C        D
I'm gonna be somebody someday
G            C               D
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains 
G         C        D       Bm
I'm gonna be somebody someday
        C                    D         G      C   D
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will

G              D
The road was a struggle 
         C                D
Took him ten years to the top
G                   D                        C   D
But now he's number one on the stage and the radio
G                 D               C                D
Still he can't believe how people come from miles around
        C                  D          G             D
When it seemed like it was only yesterday, he would say

Chorus

G                D
Bobby played his hometown
    C               D
One fullmoon August night
G               D                      C  D
When he heard a voice in the front row saying
          G            D
It was a, sandy haired riverboy
           C               D
With those same old hungry eyes
C               D      G
Looked up at Bobby and said

Chorus
Chorus
        C                    D           GCG
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
