[Verse 1]
Dm9
   I'm a father to my children
                    Am
I'm a husband to my wife yeah
Dm9                                    E7#9
   Seems I've been something to some body
              Am
Ev'ryday of my  life
          Dm9                 E7#9
If this is   part of a master plan
            Am
It don't do much to preserve a man
I'd like to see
F9                        E7#5#9
  What it feels like to be
                 Am
Nothin' to nobody
             Am
Nothin' to nobody

[Verse 2]
Dm9
   I'm a keeper to my brother
                         Am
I'm my mama's fair haired  boy
Dm9                                  E7#9
   But you know, people, I would rather  
                    Am
No body's pride and joy
      Dm9                     E7#9
No man   is island so they say
But, baby,
       Am                         D9
I could  go there for just one day
Cause I'd like to see
F9                      E7#5#9
  What it feels like to be    
                 Am
Nothin' to nobody
Yeah, I wanna be

[Bridge]
D9
  Free as a bird
And flyin' south for the winter
F9                          E7#9            Am
  And by the time they miss me  I'll be long  gone, gone,
gone.
C9
  For some people life is just a garden
              B9                                Bb9
Seems they can  pick and choose for them selves,   hey,
hey
      Am/G#                     Am/G    F#m7b5
For me     life can just be the burdens,
                Fmaj7
But I choose to carry,
carry it for some one else

   Preacher on Sun day
E7#9               Am                       D9
