Intro: C,Am,F,C C,Am,Dm,C
[C]I spit on the streets in San
Called the record company man
[F]My enthusiasm filled the room
[C]I was young and I was keen
With the devil in my stream
[F]As I hollowed at an old blues tune
[Am]We can't sign your sign
[G]'Cause we're doper than the mole
[F]That you had on your nose and your clothes
[Am]I should thank you gentleman
[G]For this life that you brought me
[F]Now move on down the road[G]
I remember how I used to say
(Chorus)
[C]They can't stop me now
[Am]The world is waiting
[F]It's my turn to stand out in the crowd[C]
[C]They can't stop me now
[Am]The tide is turning
[Dm]I'm gonna make you proud[C]
Post Chorus:
C,Am,Dm,C
Verse)
[C]Well nothing was tough
But I couldn't get enough
[F]Out this rhythm and blues I crave
[C]I was singing in the parks
[F]Singing in the clubs
[Am]Then along came Maggie May
[G]All the things he said to me
[F]And all the things I heard
[Am]I had a point to prove
[G]I will climb this mountain
[F]With this god given gift
[G]If it's the last thing that I do[F]
[G]And I remember thinking
Chorus) x2
(Bridge)
[G]Born to ramble
[F]Born to sing
[Em]In a new world of rock n[Dm] roll[G]
Woman in par[F]ticular
[Dm]Feel my heart will cry[Em]
[F]And fired up my [G]soul
[C]Thanks for the faith
Thanks for the patience
[Dm]Thanks for the helping h[F]and
[C]Thanks for the love
[G]Thanks for the guidance
[Dm]Thanks for the tartan pride
