I did what I had to do,
           G7 (320001@1)             Cand (x32010@1)saw it thru without exemption, 	


  C (x32010@1)         C7I (x32310@1)planned each chartered course,

            Dm7			GBut (320003@1)thru it all, when there was dout, 
         Em (022000@1)            AmI (x02210@1)ate it up, and spit it out

if not himself, then he has not 
           Dm7		   G (320003@1)     
To say the things he truly feels,
