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