TIMBER MAN

E A
Many many years ago when this land was young,
E B7
A lot of our country was covered by big, tall, beautiful trees.
E A
And men had to have the trees to make wood to build houses,
B7 E A
Make furniture with, to make boats, even to make paper with.
E
So as more and more people came, more wood was needed,
B7
So more and more trees were cut down.
E
And the man that lived in the forest and cut down the trees
E
Was called the timber man.
E A B7 E
Well, my world is green and dark and dumb, My home is in the loggin' camp,
E A B7 E
All week I cut down the mighty trees, Saturday I get to do as I please.
B7 A E
I give the man more than his hire, and he'll never know it, if I tire,
B7 A E
Show me the toughest tree around, the timber man will bring it down.
A E B7 E
Swing it hard, cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
A E B7 E
Move when the axe is in my hand make way for the timber man.
E
Spoken: Yeah, he was a mighty big tough man usually,

That timber man that lived in that forest and cut down those big trees.
E A
Well, they say there's sawdust in my brain,
B7 E A
And don't get caught out in the rain. I got stump water in my blood,
B7 E
The sweat from my brow turns the ground to mud.
B7
When the men don't know how to fell a tree,
A E
The one they'll come and ask is me.
B7
I'll mark my spot and I'll take my stand,
A E
The tree?s gonna fall for the timber Man
A E B7 E
Swing it hard cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
A E B7 E
Move when the axe is in my hand, make way for the timber man.
E B7
And when they're cuttin' on a tree and it's just about ready to fall,
E
The man yells out
