Right Thing
WJ Kesel
Key: Am
Tempo: 65 BPM
Time: 6/8

Verse 1:
Am7 Em
I got a pain in my heart today

Am7 EmEbmDm
And it's stickin' around

Ya know the words that I had to say
E7 Edim7
Weren't easy to hear, no, no...

Am7 Em
You know truth is better than fiction
Am7 EmEbmDm
With some lies can be an addiction
An unfortunate condition,

E7 Edim7
But a societal affliction...

Am7 EbdimDdimAm7Em7
Gotta do the right thing

Chorus:

C
Doin' the right thing
E7
Is rarely that easy

Am7
Doin' the right thing
C7
Can cause you pain

F7
Doin'the wrong thing
E7 E7Edim7
Is often times pleasing

Am7 EbdimDdim
But it's a bad way to go
Am7 E7
And the world's gotta know

Guitar Solo1:

Verse 2:
Am7 Em
I saw a man the other day
Am7 EmEbmDm
His life was slippin away

And his last words to me
Edim7
Can set anyone free

Em Am7
Doin' the right thing
That's what he said

Em
Gotta do the right thing
Am7
That's how the hungry get fed

EmEbmDm
Don't wanna keep tellin a lie
Edim7
That's a bad way to get by
Am7 EbdimDdimAm7Em7
Gotta do the right thing...
