Verse I:
C# B
I leave my thinking and my family at home
C# B
To work the timber till my arms get numb
A# F#
I will be gone some day
A# F#
All my dreams and all my pain
Verse II:
C# B
Those twisted visions of your own home town
C# B
Those countless workers with their heads bowed down
A# F#
And I can see myself
A# F#
Cleaning gardens at that old hotel
Pre-Chorus:
G#
And I want to give you everything you deserve
F# C#
And relieve you of those pressures that you feel
G#
And as the cold comes and covers the minds
F# G# A#m
I want to know that your body is real
A#m F# C#
It's dark in the day and black in the night
B F#
I got no money but I'll be alright
Chorus:
D#m C# G# F#
Give me a call and I'll work for a number

I'll fix your dreams for a price
D#m C# G# F#
Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
D#m C# B
What did you do with their lives
Verse III: (Same chords as previous verses)
C# B
I pick the splinters from my fingers to find
C# B
How many worries on my days and mind
A# F#
So I can hold my own
A# F#
The real reason why man must grow
Pre-Chorus:
G#
I want to give you everything you deserve
F# C#
And relieve you of those pressures that you take
G#
And as we dine on the bones of our betters
F# G# A#m
We will discover what the music can make
F# C#
And all my mind knows we face
B F#
I'm only telling us to leave this place
Chorus: (Slight change)

What did you do with their lives
Coda:
D#m C# G# F#
Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor
D#m C# G#
And taste like you're wasting your time
D#m C# G# F#
Old man crying on the bank by the river
D#m C# B (Pause)
Says goodbye to his children and wife

Goodbye

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
No
