Busy Man
by Billy Ray Cyrus

Note: This translation was prepared in "Courier New" text format.  I
played this song off of my radio, so the key may be slightly off from
the original recording.  If it is, try using a capo or re-tuning your
guitar by a half-step.  

Intro.:  Big kudos to whoever can figure out the intro.  I can pickout
the notes, but have been unsuccessful in finding the chord combinations
in this key that will allow me to do the hammer-ons.  If you figure it
out, let me now and I'll update this submittal.

G                                                            C
There's a little boy standin' in the driveway, Basketball in hand.  
     D
Says Daddy can we play a little one-on-one.
                                                   G
You pat him on the back and say not now son, I'm a busy man.

G                                                     C
His sisters out on the sidewalk, Setin' up a lemonade stand.
    D   
Hey Daddy don't ya wanta' buy a glass from me.
                                        G
You say maybe later can't ya see, I'm a busy man.

Chorus:
          Em        G           D               G
You gotta go, Gotta run, Hit it hard and get it done.
C            Am             D
Everyone can see your goin' far.
           Em          G               D                 G
You've got responsibilities, The crazy schedule that you keep.
             C                Am
And when you say that times a wastin',
          C                  D  D7            G
You don't know how right you are,   Busy man.

G                                                              C
There's a women in the bedroom cryin', Sayin' I thought we had plans.
        D 
You say honey I'm sorry I'll make it up,
                                            G
When the job slows down and I'm not such, A busy man.

(Repeat Chorus)

Refrain:
         D                                C
Have you ever seen a headstone with these words,
    Am         C                  D
"If only I had spent more time at work".

G
There's a call one day from the office. 
                             C
They need you down in Birmin'ham.
    D
You say no way the weekends mine.
D
I've got plans with the kids and a date with my wife,
      G
I'm a busy man.

      Em        G           D                   G
Gotta go, Gotta run, Take a break and have some fun.
C                  Am                        D
Those who love you most say that you've come far.
         Em        G            D                 G
Got some new priorities in that schedule that you keep.
             C                Am
And when you say that times a wastin',
        C                  D  D7
Now you know how right you are,
          G                   G
Busy man,           Busy man.
