C  Em  Am  G

F                           Fmaj7
(Spoken) This is your life
        C     C7
It’s my life

[Chorus]
F             Fmaj7
Bud-a-dee dee dee
        C     C7
It’s my life

[Verse 1]
F                     Fm7                       C       C7
Lord I’ve walked down, These old roads  so many times
              F            Fmaj7                                      C          C7
Same ol’ sack on my back,  same old dents all we kids put in the road signs

[Verse 2]
F                 Fmaj7        Em                           Am
I waded rushin’ streams Come filled with dreams they pass me by
F              G                                       C              C7
Until spring they’re only pictures Left hangin’ in my frame of mind

[Verse 3]
                 F        Fmaj7
I’m just another face you see
                          Em
On these highways runnin’ through days,
Am                 F             G
singin’ songs with love in ev’y way for everyone,
            C        C7
For everythin’

[Interlude]
F   Fmaj7  C   C7

[Chorus]
F            Fmaj7
Bud-a-dee-ee-ee
            C      C7
Oh, it’s my life

[Verse 2]
F            Fmaj7
I do understand
            Em          Am
I’m not the man that’s ever tried
F             G
to make any one-life stands with anyone
       C       C7
Or any place, Hoo hooo

[Verse 3]
F                   Fmaj7
Lord these winter snows
Em              Am
I say, heaven knows how slow
       F              G
All these night times go
           C          C7
When she’s cold to me

[Outro]
         F                      Fmaj7
Yeah I paint songs in the wind
        C
And see through colors, they just came in
         F                              Fmaj7
Oh Lord, they’ve never really been out
                                                       C   Em  Am   G
It’s just all those see-through people, they can’t see in
C
It’s my life
