[Intro]
Em Bm F Dm Am
F Em Dm Gm F Em Dm Am [Verse]
F You gon' be a star,
Em
they said They said Dm7 You gon' take us far,
they said They said F Everywhere you go Em They're gon' know your name Dm7 Who cares if you get lonely Long as you're famous F Don't you want money and the cars Em Dm7 They said expensive liquor and cigars,
they said F I mean, what's better than having
Em
everything that you dreamed of? Dm7 Long as they need you,
you don't need love [Chorus]
F Em Just be great Put on for your city,
Dm7
for your state And whatever you do F Em Just make us proud Ain't gonna be no cryin'
Dm7
from the clouds Yeah, they say F Em Just be great Who cares if there's
Dm7
too much on your plate Don't make no mistakes and
F
hide your pain Em No rain Whatever you do,
Dm7
just make us proud Ain't gonna be no cryin'
F Em Dm7
from the clouds (Ain't gonna be no cryin'
F Em Dm7
from the clouds) [Verse]
F You gon', you gonna be a star,
Em
they said They said Dm7 Don't waste your tomorrow,
they said They said F Em You're the one that's chosen
to make it out Dm7 Gotta seize the moment Don't let us down N.C. Just gotta play your part,
Em
they said Dm7 And history,
you'll be a part of it F I mean, what's better than having
Em
everything that you dreamed of? Dm7 Long as they need you,
you don't need love [Chorus]
F Em Just be great (Great) Put on for your city,
Dm7
for your state (State) And whatever you do F Em Just make us proud (Proud) Ain't gonna be no cryin'
Dm7
from the clouds (Clouds) Yeah, they say F Em Just be great (Just be great) Who cares if there's too much on
Dm7
your plate (Your plate now) Don't make no mistakes and
F
hide your pain Em No rain Whatever you do,
Dm7
just make us proud Ain't gonna be no cryin'
F Em Dm7
from the clouds, oooh (Ain't gonna be no cryin'
F Em
from the clouds) Dm7 Oooh (Ain't gonna be no) [Bridge]
F Em I was way too far out in the world Dm7 But I still put on for my city I was handing out
too much milk money Too much kitten and
butt and ti**ies F Em I lost my voice like a pastor Faster than a Harlem shimmy Dm7 But I guess that's
what you get For trying to make heartbreak pretty F Em They say life's a bench
(Life's a bench)
and then you die Dm7 So please, if you're
penning my eulogy,
just say I tried F Em And that's word to Phineas,
Jess' and Si' Dm7 And if I don't wake up in Heaven F Then it was one heck of a ride
Em
(Heck of a ride) Dm7 If I don't wake up in Heaven F Em Then it was one heck of a ride Dm7 A heck of a ride [Instrumental]
F Em Dm7 F Em Dm7 [Outro]
F Em Momma said money can't buy me happiness Dm7 So I copped a G5 Tried to fly myself up next to it F I freaked up some commas Em Just to dot-dot-dot Where's the rest of it? Dm7 This what clean look like When clean took life and
made a mess of it F Had to realize I'm just blessed to it Em You can't take it all with you Dm7 But you can remember the best of it I pray for peace within myself F And no more regrets with it Em 'Cause when I looked at
my soul in the Mississippi Dm7 It reflected it And if you know me,
you're right next to it N.C. I'm everything you
thought I was N.C. I'm everything
I thought I was N.C. It was everything
I thought it was N.C. It was everything
I thought it was
