Verse I:
B A
I leave my thinking and my family at home
B A
To work the timber till my arms get numb
G# E
I will be gone some day
G# E
All my dreams and all my pain
Verse II:
B A
Those twisted visions of your own home town

Those countless workers with their heads bowed down
G# E
And I can see myself
G# E
Cleaning gardens at that old hotel
Pre-Chorus:
F#
And I want to give you everything you deserve
E B
And relieve you of those pressures that you feel

And as the cold comes and covers the minds

I want to know that your body is real

It's dark in the day and black in the night

I got no money but I'll be alright

Give me a call and I'll work for a number

Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
C#m B A
What did you do with their lives
Verse III: (Same chords as previous verses)
B A
I pick the splinters from my fingers to find

How many worries on my days and mind
G# E
So I can hold my own
G# E
The real reason why man must grow
Pre-Chorus:
F#
I want to give you everything you deserve
E B
And relieve you of those pressures that you take

We will discover what the music can make

And all my mind knows we face
A E
I'm only telling us to leave this place

Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor
C#m B F#
And taste like you're wasting your time

Old man crying on the bank by the river

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
No
