Intro:  F7 Bb Ab F7 Bb Ab
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bonnie_raitt/what_is_success_crd.html ]
(F7) How...... (Bb) (Ab) does a (F7) one decide  (Bb)
(Ab) that the (F7) methods he's using (Bb) (Ab) they
(F7) just won't jive.   (Bb) (Ab)  (Eb) truly believe
(Bb) and (Eb) trying over (Bb) and over again (F7)
(Bb) (Ab)  (Eb) livin in (Bb) hopes, (Eb) that some
(Bb) day he'll be in (C7)with the winners?

When...should one change his mind and jump the fence,
for the dollar sign? It's a sad thing, it's a bad
thing but so necessary.  That this cold world forced
your values to become monetary.  (C7) (F) (C7)

CHORUS: (F7) Hmmmmm........ (Bb) (Ab)
(F7) Tell me what I need is (Bb) success (Ab)

Is it do your own thing, or to join the rest?  Or
should you truly believe or keep trying over and over
again? Livin in hopes that someday you'll be the
winners.
