By Hank Williams Jr. [Chorus]
  D                                G        D
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate

   D                          E7               A7
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can

      G                       D
After all I'm standing in the shadows

     A           D
Of a very famous man
[Verse]
  D
As I travel around from town to town

  G                             D
I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around
They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today
  E7                              A7
Now well we're all so glad and we know he would be too

                                         D
That you're carryin' on his music this way
[Verse]
  D
Yes they say Hank was the all time great

 G                                      D
And we know you'll be just as good as your dad

 G                           D
But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends

        A7                           D
That's the part that always makes them sad
[Chorus]
  D                                G        D
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate

   D                          E7               A7
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can

      G                       D
It's Hard standing in the shadows 

     A           D
Of a very famous man
[Verse]
  D                                  G                           D
So many times when I'm on that stage I feel something go through me

         D                                   E7                              A7
And for a minute I'm in a different world and that's when it does something to me

D
The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud

G                              D
While I'm out there taking my bows

  G                             D                         A7                     D
I look toward the ceiling and I say to myself listen dad just listen to that crowd
[Verse]
      D
But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more

 G                                     D
I start singing another of your great songs

  G                          D                         A7                            *D
That's the time that I know although you're gone your music will live on and on and on
