[Verse 1]
                  G
Tonight they’re shutting down the borders
             C                G
And they’ve boarded up the schools
                 Em               D
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks,
                            G
One last paycheck coming through
               G
I know you're feeling kinda nervous
             C             G
We're all a little bit confused
    Em               D
Nothin's the same, this ain't a game
                     G
We got to make it through
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

       G
As we wait outside the window
       C                G
Older loved ones stay inside
          Em           D
Moms and babies blowing kisses
                        G
Maybe saving someone's life
             G
They had to cancel graduation
          C                 G
It ain't fair to scrap the prom
              Em         D
Our kids sit home in isolation
                       G
Evening news is always on
 
 
[Chorus]
                G                  C            G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
     Em                     D                             G
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
               G                                 C         G
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
                Em          D                   G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can

[Verse ]

      G                              C           G
The chicken farm from Akansas bought workers P.P.E
       Em       D                            G
Not before 500 more had succumbed to this disease
                                     C              G
Honest men and honest women, working for an honest wage
         Em              D
I got a hundred point 1 fever
                           G
And we still got bills to pay
 
 
 
[Chorus]
                G                  C           G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
     Em                     D                             G
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
               G                                 C         G
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
                Em          D                   G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
 
 
[Bridge]
              C                          Em                D
They built a hospital on East Meadow in Central Park last night
          C                                      G                 D
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks manning the front line
      Am
I saw Red Cross on the Hudson
            C
They turned off the Broadway lights
        C
Another ambulance screams by
               D
There by the grace of God go I
 
 
[Verse]
              G
Altough I'll keep my social distance
           C                G
What this world needs is a hug
          Em            D
Until we find the vaccination
                           G
There's no substitute for love
             G
So love yourself and love your family
           C                  G
Love your neighbor and your friend
         Em                  D
Ain't it time we love the stranger
              G
It's just a friend you ain't met yet
 
 
[Chorus]
                G                  C            G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
     Em                     D                             G
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
               G                                 C          G
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
                Em          D                   G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
                Em          D                   G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
