What Am I Living For by Mark-Almond 




    What Am I Living For 





[Verse 1]
G        D               C
Well I said to my best friend,
          G          D        C
can't you see what a mess I'm in?
   G           D                C
My daddy he taught me to drink whisky
        Am                             D
But my momma she died from a-drinkin' gin
G   D                        C
My brother, he works in a coal mine,
 G         D              C
works so hard to get his pay
 G               D                    C
My sister, she believes in sweet lord Jesus
         Am                       D
And she's waitin' for redemption day

[Chorus]
C   Bm         Am
   What am I livin' for?
C   Bm            Am
   Why am I living, why am I giving all my life
F
To bring up a family, children, and wife
D                                         G
Tell me my friend hasn't that been done before?
G D C  G D C

[Verse 2]
G    D               C
I remember my first job,
     G       D         C
I was singin' with a band
G         D            C
Every payday came around
         Am             D
I'd take my money from the man
G      D                   C
He said "Now spend it wisely, boy,
   G      D                   C
or save it while you have the time"
         G                 D      C
But I got drunk on a stand and I blew the band
        Am                            D
Now I'm standing in the unemployment line

[Chorus]
C   Bm         Am
   What am I livin' for?
C   Bm            Am
   Why am I living, why am I giving all my life
F
To bring up a family, children, and wife
D                                         G
Tell me my friend hasn't that been done before?
G D C   G D C

[√erse 3]
 G      D          C
I had me a sweet woman,
 G   D                    C
mine until the sun don't shine
  G        D            C
I came home one morning, early
      Am                         D
And I found her with a friend of mine
G          D              C
It's not so much I needed her
G        D              C
But oh, God, how to stay away
 G                D               C
I packed my bags, and I hit the road
          Am                     D
And I've never seen her to this day

[Chorus]
C   Bm         Am
   What am I livin' for?
C   Bm            Am
   Why am I living, why am I giving all my life
F
To bring up a family, children, and wife
D                                         G
Listen my friend it's all been done before
