Em D Bm

( Bm )           D            Am
I go down the beaten track
                      Em         Bm
Along the river with an empty bag
                D          Am
At the end she said to me
                          Em
Why are you here with the autumn leaves?

                             G
'Cause this is my life, my friend
            Bm             A
And this is my time to stand
            Em            G
Now this is my life, my friend
            Bm            A     Bm
And I can't be no one else

                  D           Am
I'm done, tipping on my toes
                       Em           Bm
Strike an iron, and attack my soul
                    D         Am
Misty moon, you're gonna see
                           Em
I've got your blues to get on my feet

                              G
'Cause this is my life, my friend
            Bm           A
and this is my time to stand
            Em             G
Now this is my life, my friend
            Bm        A
and I can't be no one else

G
I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight
Em/D                              Bm         A
I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay free, to be me
G
I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose
Em/D                                Bm            A
I don't wanna play, I just wanna remember, oh my name

               Em             G
'Cause this is my life, my friend
            Bm           A
and this is my time to stand, Oh

Em                       G  Bm  A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

            Em             G
Now this is my life, my friend
            Bm        A
and I can?t be no one else
               Em             G
'Cause this is my life, my friend
            Bm        A
and I can't be no one else
            Em/D           D
Now this is my life, my friend
