Never Been Done (Ron Sexsmith)
From the album "Blue Boy" (2001)
Capo 1
[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"
