Summer Wages
D G
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
D Bm A
You know that the odds won't ride with you...
D G
And never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her
D Bm A D
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
D G
And we'll keep rollin on, 'til we get to Vancouver
D Bm A
And the lady that I love, she's living there
D G
It's been six long months and more since I've seen her
D Bm A D
Maybe gambled and gone, like summer wages
Chorus:
A G D
In all the beer parlors, all down along main street
Bm G D
The dreams of the seasons, get all spilled down on the floor
A G D
All the big stands of timber, just waiting for the falling
Bm G A
And the hookers standing watchfully , waiting by the door
D G
So I'll work on the towboats, with my slippery city shoes
D Bm A
Which lord I swore I would never do again...
D G
Through the gray fog bound straits, where the cedars stand a watching
D Bm A D
I'll be far off and gone, like summer wages
Chorus:
A G D
In all the beer parlors, all down along main street
Bm G D
The dreams of the seasons, get all spilled down on the floor
A G D
All the big stands of timber, just waiting for the falling
Bm G A
And the hookers standing watchfully , waiting by the door
D G
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
D Bm A
You know that the odds won't ride with you...
D G
And never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her
D Bm A D
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages X 2
