Never Been Done (Ron Sexsmith)

From the album "Blue Boy" (2001)

[Intro]
C F G C

[Verse 1]
C F
When he was just a boy of five
 C G
His dad sat him down and said, "Son,
 C F
The light that I see in your eyes
 G C G
Says you'll do what's never been done"

[Verse 2]
C F
Well the boy, he grew the way they do
 C G
Underneath the moon and sun
 C F
And a voice beyond his paper route
 G C
Said go do what's never been done

[Chorus]
Dm G
And he tried too hard
 F C
To be the best he could be
Am Dm
But in his father's eyes
 F G
It was always disappointing

[Verse 3]
 C F
Though he had once so many dreams
 C G
They were all wrapped up in one
C F
This scruffy boy in grubby jeans
 G C
Who would do what's never been done

[Instrumental]
C F C G C F G C

[Verse 4]
 C F
In school, he moved on well enough
 C G
To the rat race, he did run
 C F
To prove that he had the stuff
 G C
For to do what's never been done

[Chorus]
Dm G
And he worked so hard
 F C
To be the model son
Am Dm
Till he came to realize
 F G
That it just couldn't be done

[Verse 5]
 C F
Till he met a girl with golden hair
 C G
With a heart as big as the sun
 C F
Said, "If you will take me as I am
 G C G
Then you'll do what's never been done
C F
If you will take me as I am
 G C
Then you'll do what's never been done"

[Outro]
