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