Gotta Be Strong
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Verse Jason Lancaster:]
G
Just a mother and her son sit at home every night
Cadd9
While the daddy's off at work just trying to get by
G
He's on the graveyard shift, sweat caught in his eyes
Cadd9
Why's their father not home
Oh, boy I want to know why
Am C
That every night he grabs his keys
G
Walks out the door
Cadd9
Son, I'm begging you, please
[Chorus]
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
D Dsus4 D
So that one day he can be free
Em C
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down
D
Few land on their feet
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
Bm7
When the reach feels too high
Em C
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
D
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
G Cadd9
[Verse Cody Carson:]
G
Just a husband and his wife sitting home at night
Cadd9
While their kids have moved on, just passing the time
G
I see the smile on his face
Thinking about the days
Cadd9
Sit and talked for a while
The whole day was ours
Am C
But now and then he feels the pain in his chest
G
Walks out the door
Cadd9
Never finds enough rest
[Chorus]
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
D Dsus4 D
So that one day he can be free
Em C
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down
D
Few land on their feet
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
Bm7
When the reach feels too high
Em C
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
D
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
G Cadd9
[Verse Derek Sanders:]
G
Just a family and a son standing by a graveside
Cadd9
Two men that had it all, kept them warm at midnight
G
Made life look so easy, a sight to see
Cadd9
The son thinks deep down it's who he'd like to be
[Chorus]
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
D Dsus4 D
So that one day he can be free
Em C
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down
D
Few land on their feet
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
Bm7
When the reach feels too high
Em C
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
D
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
G Cadd9
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
G
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
Cadd9
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
