Capo 2nd Fret (To Match Recording)

Intro: (C)  (C)
        
Find a (C) dream, put off for the families needs
(F) He puts in eight down at the (C) factory
(F) When he gets home his feet are (C) tired
(F) If he had his way, he'd been a (Am) workin'
With his (C) hands on (G) wood and (C) wire

 	 Saginaw (F) spruce, Tennessee (C) maple
 	 Sears and Robuck - Black Diamond (G) strings
 	 Late at (Am) night (F) he fans that (C) fire
 	 When he grabs hold of that (G) wood and (C) wire
              
(C) Days - years - his dream just disappears
(F) They never once heard him compl(C)ainin'
(F) They're every wish is his des(C)ire
(F) And without them he might have (Am) made it
With his (C) hands on (G) wood and (C) wire

Repeat Chorus

(F) If you ask him he will (C) tell you
That he (F) don't have no re(G)grets.
Then he'll (Am) take his (F) calloused (C) fingers,
And let 'em fly ac(G)ross those fr(C)ets.

Repeat Chorus

 	 Late at (Am) night (F) he fans that (C) fire
 	 When he grabs hold of that (G) wood and (C) wire
