C G D Em
We built those boats down at the shipyard for 40 years or more
C G D Em
We only laid our hammers down when we left for the war
C G D Em
Now these days I watch the night fall across a tired floor
C G D
Far too old for working anymore
C G D Em
Wake the same hour every morning to join the morning crew
C G D Em
We line up at the coffee shop to get the morning news
C G D Em
We still wear the same clothes, wear the same old shoes
C G D
Lookin' back is all we ever do
Em C G
An endless wire, that runs through these days
Em C D
Deepens the lines that run across my face
C G D Em
But if you want to know the kind of man I am
C D Em
Take a look at these hard workin' hands
Em C G
There's a map that has hardened in my skin
Em C D
Everywhere I go I take every place I've been
C G D Em
The lifeline is a highway through the towns of memories
C Em D
Every scar has a story
Em C G
An endless wire, that runs through these days
Em C D
Deepens the lines that run across my face
C G D Em
But if you want to know the kind of man I am
C D Em
Take a look at these hard workin' hands
C G D Em
We built those boats down at the shipyard for 40 years or more
C G D Em
Took a break for the time we served in the war
C G D Em
Another evening at the legion with the TV's evening news
C G D
Lookin' back is all we ever do
Em C G
An endless wire, that runs through these days
Em C D
Deepens the lines that run across my face

But if you want to know the kind of man I am
