[Intro]
C C
C
Find a dream, put off for the families needs
F C
He puts in eight down at the factory
F C
When he gets home his feet are tired
F Am
If he had his way, he'd been a workin'
C G C
With his hands on wood and wire
F C
Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple
G
Sears and Robuck - Black Diamond strings
Am F C
Late at night he fans that fire
G C
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire
C
Days - years - his dream just disappears
F C
They never once heard him compl ainin'
F C
They're every wish is his des ire
F Am
And without them he might have made it
C G C
With his hands on wood and wire
[Repeat Chorus]
F C
If you ask him he will tell you
F G
That he don't have no re grets.
Am F C
Then he'll take his calloused fingers,
G C
And let 'em fly ac ross those fr ets.
[Repeat Chorus]
Am F C
Late at night he fans that fire
G C
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire
