CWhen he was just a Fboy of five
His Cdad sat him down and said, G"Son,
The Clight that I see Fin your eyes

CWell the boy, he grew the Fway they do
UnderCneath the moon and Gsun
And a Cvoice beyond his Fpaper route
Said go Gdo what's never Cbeen done
[Chorus]
DmAnd he tried too Ghard
To Fbe the best he Ccould be
AmBut in his father's Dmeyes
It was Falways disaGppointing
[Verse 3]
Though Che had once so Fmany dreams
They were Call wrapped up in Gone
CThis scruffy boy in Fgrubby jeans
Who would Gdo what's never Cbeen done
[Instrumental]
C  F  C  G  C  F  G  C

In Cschool, he moved on Fwell enough
To the Crat race, he did Grun
To Cprove that he Fhad the stuff
For to Gdo what's never Cbeen done
[Chorus]
DmAnd he worked so Ghard
To Fbe the Cmodel son
AmTill he came to reaDmlize
That Fit just couldn't Gbe done
[Verse 5]
Till Che met a girl with Fgolden hair
With a Cheart as big as the Gsun
Said, "If Cyou will take me Fas I am
Then you'll Gdo what's never Cbeen Gdone
CIf you will take me Fas I am
Then you'll Gdo what's never Cbeen done"
