Simak lirik dan chord lagu "If Today Doesn’t Do Me In" dari Ian Noe berikut ini.

D                    F#m
In a heavy rain standing
G                         D
Off an old county road
Bm                        A             G D
'Side a high rolling river so swift
D                                    F#m
There was a hitchhiking stranger
G                              D
Quite pale from the cold
Bm                    A                       G    D
On a cane, tryin' to thumb down a lift
D                                F#m
Well, I pulled up beside him
G                                 D
And let my window on down
Bm                              G                            A
To the rain and the bone-chilling wind
D                                      F#m
Said "You look awful worn
G                             D
In this late-winter storm
Bm                       A                  G              D
Which way are you headed, my friend?"

[Chorus]
G           A            G          D
"Right up to the spotlight
Bm                             G A
Drinkin' all that Coke and gin
D                               F#m
And I'll be suit-wearin' man
G                          D
With gold in my hand
Bm             A                 G D
If today doesn't do me in"

[Verse 2]

D                            F#m
Behind a gas station counter
G                              D
Moving crates full of things
Bm                         A              G D
That looked far too heavy for her
D                                  F#m
There stood a girl with a frown
G                                       D
Said, "Let me just set these down
Bm                A               G  D
And I'll be right with you, sir"
D                          F#m
I said, "No hurry here
G                      D
Take all the time that you want"
Bm                                   G                      A
She said, "A little time and you just wait and see
D                           F#m
Oh, I'll be without a care
G                             D
When I finally get there"
Bm                           A                       G     D
I said, "Miss, tell me where might that be"

[Chorus]
G         A             G             D
"Right up to the spotlight
Bm                      G           A
Drinkin' all that Coke and gin
D                            F#m
And I'll be a dress-wearin' girl
G                      D
With the heels and the pearls
Bm          A                   G D
If today doesn't do me in
Bm             A                G D
If today doesn't do me in"

[Verse 3]
D                            F#m
Well, I got a head-full this morning
G                               D
Cuttin' out through the fog
Bm                         A                    G                D
You know, I can't help but wonder what's left
D                                 F#m
From every road that dead-ends
G                              D
To those old bitter men
Bm                        A                G         D
Passing time on the old courthouse steps
D                            F#m
And there's a feeling you get
G                       D
Not far from despair
Bm                          G                  A
That sometimes sets in on your mind
D                           F#m
But if it's all that you've got
G                         D
You still set the clock
Bm                         A             G   D
And get up with a reason to climb

[Chorus]
G      A                G    D
Right up to the spotlight
Bm                      G       A
Drinking all that coke and gin
D                                 F#m
And I'll leave these shadows behind
G                               D
For a new peace of mind
Bm              A              G   D
If today doesn't do me in
Bm                 A          G   D
If today doesn't do me in
