Do What I Have To Do Lyrics - Phil Ochs

Pre>intro: dm g dm g 

Dm g dm g 

All around this country, trouble in the air 

Bb am f c7 

And I hear the voices calling me 

F bb f dm 

Asking "do you know and do you care? 

Bb c7 f f7 

Do you know and do you care? " 

Bb f f7 

So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do 

Bb f f7 

Say what I have to say 

Bb am f c7 

And I'm gonna be what I have to be 

F bb f dm 

Now won't you come on along with me? 

Bb c7 f 

Won't you come along with me? 

Don't want to cause no sorrow 

Don't want to cause no pain 

I'm only gonna cause what I have to cause 

Until this land is free of shame 

'til this land is free of shame 

So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do 

Say what I have to say 

And I'm gonna be what I have to be 

Now won't you come on along with me? 

Won't you come along with me? 

Only one thing I know, I know we're not alone 

Was a million here before we came 

Be a million when we're gone, we're gone 

Million when we're gone 

So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do 

Say what I have to say 

And I'm gonna be what I have to be 

Now won't you come on along with me? 

Won't you come along with me? 

Oh, I'm afraid of trouble, yes I'm afraid of jail 

But I'm more afraid, lord, not to try 

More afraid of what happens, now, if we fail 

What happens now if we fail 

So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do 

Say what I have to say 

And I'm gonna be what I have to be 

Now won't you come on along with me? 

Won't you come along with me?
