G5
This gettin' up early pulling double shifts
                                          C5
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
        G5
But I'm trying
     G5
It's been two years since we finalized
                                C5
Still ain't used to putting "X" in front of wife
        G5
But I'm trying
F5
Send more money right away
                                        C5
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
    D5
And don't you be late

Chorus:
    G5                C5
But all I can do, is all I can do
              G5      C5
And I keep on tryin'___
    G5                C5
And all I can be, is all I can be
              G5      C5
And I keep on tryin'___
            D5
But there's always a mountin in front of me
C5                                                      F5 F5 C5
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing
              G5         C5
But I keep on trying...

Verse 2:
Well I remember daddy sayin "Keep your eye on the ball"
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall"
I'm tryin'
Don't say nothing that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret, no don't do that
Daddy, I'm tryin'
Know the difference 'tween Heaven and Hell
Go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well

Chorus:
    G5                C5
But all I can do, is all I can do
              G5      C5
And I keep on tryin'___
    G5                C5
And all I can be, is all I can be
              G5      C5
And I keep on tryin'___
            D5
But there's always a mountin in front of me
C5                                                      F5 F5 C5

But all I can do, is all I can do

And I keep on tryin'

All I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin'
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, then stumbling, and then falling, and then climbing
But I keep on tryin'

This gettin' up early pulling double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
