[Verse 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G]
Looks like this [C]may well be it,
[Am]yeah we're goin' [D]down
Ocean's fast [C]approaching,
[D]an d there's this screeching sound
[G]They found that little ol'[C] black box,
[Am]that they all listene[D]d to
The last [G]words that [C]were spoken were,
[D]"What would Bob do?"
[G]

[Verse 2]
What would [C]Bob do?
What [Em]would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What
would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 3]
I was knocking on [C]the pearly gates,
[Am]made of precious [D]stone
Looked kind of oth[C]er worldly,
[D]inside there was a throne
[G]I was let in by a str[C]anger,
who [Am]I'd seen somewhere [D]be fore
I thought, well [C]it'll come to me,
[D]here in the evermore
[G]Suddenly from out[C] of nowhere,
[Am]a vision did [D]appear
It was my old [C]granddaddy, he [D]said "Son,
what are you doin' here?"
[G]"Well it wasn't in my [C]plans you know,
[Am]I done come un[D] stuck
I played out all [C]my hand and I
[D]just ran all out of luck"
[G]He said, "Well if you can[C]'t pot the black,
[Am]and you know it's not [D]the cue
It may [G]be time [C]to ask yourself,
[D]what would Bob do?"
[G]

[Verse 4]
What would [C]Bob do? What
[Em]would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What
would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 5]
Now you may well [C]just find yourself,
[Am]on the ballroom fl[D]oor
You know [G]you cannot get [C]away,
[D]you cannot reach the door
[G]Just try to rel[C]ax yourself,
[Am]and sit down on [D]your hips
You [G]don't have [C]to move too much,
[D]and try no to lick your lips
[G]If things seem to be [C]working,
and [Am]she hasn't moved [D]away
You can breathe [G]a little [C]easier,
[D]and think of what to say
[G]If you spin around and[C] she is gone,
[Am]and you know it's not [D]with you
Then you have [C]to ask yourself
[D]"What would Bob do?"
[G]What would Bob[C] do?

[Verse 6]
[Em]
What would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What
would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 7]
[G]I was standing by [C]a house at night,
[Am]going up in flames [D]and smoke
I [G]was los[C]ing everything, [D]it really was no joke
[G]To cap it off I'm[C] naked,
and [Am]there's people [D]all around
I could see [G]an old [C]dog barking,
but [D]I couldn't hear the sound
[G]The only thing tha[C]t I could hear,
[Am]which came out of [D]the blue
Was the voice [G]inside [C]my own head, say
[D]ing, "What would Bob [G]do?"

[Verse 8]
What would [C]Bob do? What
[Em]would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What
would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 9]
As luck would sometimes have [C]it, the
[Am]good Lord was in [D]my dream
He [G]was smiling [C]sweetly,
and [D]was wearing Lincoln green
[G]I asked if he wou[C]ld come again,
[Am]if the rumours were [D]all true,
He thought awhile [C]and spoke and said,
[D]now "What would Bob do?"
[G]

[Verse 10]
What would [C]Bob do?
What [Em]would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 11]
And as the lights [G]they all came down,
[Am]I was standing by the [D]stage
He was cloaked in dark[C]ness,
and [D]his face it showed no [G]age
I took one step closer,
just [Am]to get a better [D]view
I swear I saw him smile and say
now "What would Bob do?"
[G]

[Verse 12]
What would [C]Bob do?
What [Em]would [D]Bob do?
What [G]would [C]Bob do? [D]What
would Bob [G]do?

[Verse 13]
Then I suddenly [G]awakened,
and [Am]I simply can't [D]pretend,
To under[G]stand [C]the way of things,
[D]and how it all may [G]end
But if the question's simple [C]say,
[Am]do I wear red, [D]or blue
Now they're [G]are times [C]you ask [D]yourself,
[G]"What would Bob[C] do?"
What [Em]would

[Verse 14]
[D]Bob [G]do?[C] Wha[D]t would Bob do?
[G]What would Bob[C] do?[D][Em]
[D]What wou[G]ld Bob[C] do?[D]

[Outro 1]
