D

D              
Find a dream, put off for the families needs.
G                             D
 He puts in eight down at the factory,
G                               D
 When he gets home his feet are tired.
G                               Bm
 If he had his way, he'd been a-workin'
         D       A         D
With his hands on wood and wire.

        G                 D
Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,
                                A
Seers and Robuck, Black Diamond strings.
        Bm   G             D
Late at night he fans that fire,
                     A              D
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.

D                 
Days, years, his dream just disappears.
G                             D
 They never once heard him complainin',
G                            D
 They're every wish is his desire.
G                               Bm
 And without them he might have made it,
         D       A         D
With his hands on wood and wire.

        G                 D
Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,
                                A
Seers and Robuck, Black Diamond strings.
        Bm   G             D
Late at night he fans that fire,
                     A              D
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.

       G               D
If you ask him he will tell you
        G               A
That he don't have no regrets.
           Bm  G              D
Then he'll take his calloused fingers,
               A             D
And let 'em fly across those frets.

        G                 D
Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,
                                A
Seers and Robuck, Black Diamond strings.
        Bm   G             D
Late at night he fans that fire,
                     A              D
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.
        Bm   G             D
Late at night he fans that fire,
                     A              D
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.
