Fsus2 Am7 G/D Fsus2
[Verse 1]
He's got Csawdust in the pockets of his Fsus2dusty worn out Cjeans,
And a Fsus2little more Crolled up in the G/Dcuffs of his sleeves.
At Cnight he dreams in yellow birch he Fsus2dreams in solid Am7oak,
When they Cpainted at the fir at the old church, well his G/Dheart damn near Cbroke.
[Verse 2]
CSaid I know you've come here for some Fsus2fatherly adCvice,
There's Fsus2little I can Ctell you 'bout G/Dgetting through this life.
I Cdo know it ain't easy and someFsus2times it don't make Am7sense,
But Ceverything that means anything you'll learn G/Dstanding at this Cbench.
[Chorus]
Fsus2Snap a chalk line to stayC straight Fsus2measure twice for you Ccut,
And Fsus2always bend a nailAm7 if you driveG/D it through a nut. Fsus2
A Fsus2little oil on your Cwet stone keeps a E7/Bgood edge on your Fsus2plane,
But don't Fsus2buy a word of whatC you've heard, you don't G/Dhave to go with the Fsus2grain;
Son, you don't Chave to goG/D with the Cgrain.

[Verse 3]
He Csaid I'm just a dreamer, wouldn't Fsus2change if I Ccould.
Only Fsus2dreams crash and Cburn G/Dwhen they're made of wood.
But I've Cseen a world with no seams, and Fsus2one where there's no Am7nails,
CSometimes I've imagined the G/Dworld just of Ctails.
[Chorus]

And Fsus2always bend a nailAm7 if you driveG/D it through a nut. Fsus2

But don't Fsus2buy a word of whatC you've heard, you don't G/Dhave to go with the Fsus2grain;
Son, you don't Chave to goG/D with the Cgrain.
