Verse I:
C A#
I leave my thinking and my family at home
C A#
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 A#
Those twisted visions of your own home town
C A#
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 Am
I want to know that your body is real
Am F C
It's dark in the day and black in the night
A# F
I got no money but I'll be alright
Chorus:
Dm C G F
Give me a call and I'll work for a number
Dm C G
I'll fix your dreams for a price
Dm C G F
Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
Dm C A#
What did you do with their lives
Verse III: (Same chords as previous verses)
C A#
I pick the splinters from my fingers to find
C A#
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 Am
We will discover what the music can make
F C
And all my mind knows we face
A# F
I'm only telling us to leave this place
Chorus: (Slight change)
Dm C G F
Give me a call and I'll work for a number
Dm C G
I'll fix your dreams for a price
Dm C G F
Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
Dm C G
What did you do with their lives
Coda:
Dm C G F
Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor
Dm C G
And taste like you're wasting your time
Dm C G F
Old man crying on the bank by the river
Dm C A# (Pause)
Says goodbye to his children and wife
Am
Goodbye
F C
One day the words I'll speak
A# F
Won't mean nothing to me
No
