Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Bobby  played his guitar  on the harder  side of town
Where  it's hard for a poor  boy to find the money
He  had dedication,  he had  the heart and soul
 Somehow knew  he was born to play
People  would say get  a real job
 Support  your family
Cause  there's no future  in the road you're taking
He  never said a word,  the dreamer  just kept on
Late  at night  you could hear him say  (he'd say)
I'm  gonna be  somebody  someday
One  of these days  I'm gonna break  these chains
I'm  gonna be  somebody  someday
 You can bet  your hard earned dollar  I will
The  road was a struggle
 Took him ten  years to the top
But  now he's number one  on the stage and the radio
Still  he can't believe  how people come  from miles around
 When it seemed  like it was only  yesterday,  he would say
Bobby  played his hometown
 One fullmoon  August night
When  he heard a voice  in the front row saying
 It was a, sandy  haired riverboy
 With those same  old hungry eyes
Looked  up at Bobby  and said
 You can bet  your hard earned dollar  I will
