Verse I:
F D#
I leave my thinking and my family at home
F D#
To work the timber till my arms get numb
D A#
I will be gone some day
D A#
All my dreams and all my pain
Verse II:
F D#
Those twisted visions of your own home town
F D#
Those countless workers with their heads bowed down
D A#
And I can see myself
D A#
Cleaning gardens at that old hotel
Pre-Chorus:
C
And I want to give you everything you deserve
A# F
And relieve you of those pressures that you feel
C
And as the cold comes and covers the minds
A# C Dm
I want to know that your body is real
Dm A# F
It's dark in the day and black in the night
D# A#
I got no money but I'll be alright
Chorus:
Gm F C A#
Give me a call and I'll work for a number
Gm F C
I'll fix your dreams for a price
Gm F C A#
Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
Gm F D#
What did you do with their lives
Verse III: (Same chords as previous verses)
F D#
I pick the splinters from my fingers to find
F D#
How many worries on my days and mind
D A#
So I can hold my own
D A#
The real reason why man must grow
Pre-Chorus:
C
I want to give you everything you deserve
A# F
And relieve you of those pressures that you take
C
And as we dine on the bones of our betters
A# C Dm
We will discover what the music can make
A# F
And all my mind knows we face
D# A#
I'm only telling us to leave this place
Chorus: (Slight change)
Gm F C A#
Give me a call and I'll work for a number
Gm F C
I'll fix your dreams for a price
Gm F C A#
Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
Gm F C
What did you do with their lives
Coda:
Gm F C A#
Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor
Gm F C
And taste like you're wasting your time
Gm F C A#
Old man crying on the bank by the river
Gm F D# (Pause)
Says goodbye to his children and wife
Dm
Goodbye
A# F
One day the words I'll speak
D# A#
Won't mean nothing to me
No
