D
Well I got my welding tickets
G
Set out on the road
Hm
To a place I never heard of
G A
About two years ago
D
I wonder what they’re doing
G
Back home in Sunnybrae?
Hm
I’m in Vermilion River
A D
They’re a million miles away
G D
What would they say if I went back empty handed?
G A D
They won’t know who I am for all I know
Em G A Hm
But I know they'd compare me to my brothers
Em G D
And laugh behind my back if I went home

D G
I tried my hand at farming and on the oil fields
Hm
Hell I’ve done my share of drinking
G A
to forget about how I feel
D G
Once there was a lady, she set my heart in flames
Hm A D
I’m in Vermilion River, she’s a million miles away
G D
What would she say if I went back empty handed?
G A D
She has another man for all I know
Em G A Hm
But I know, she’d compare me to her lovers
Em G D
And pretend we never met if I went home

G D
Before I go I have to make a confession
G D
Between me, you, Jesus and the wall
Em G A Hm
I burnt down a house, and no one knows about it
Em G D
So now Vermilion River is my home
Em G A Hm
I burnt down a house, and no one knows about it
Em G D
So now Vermilion River is my home
