Toolmaster of Brainerd

But on the day when the shutdown came
G Em F#
All his old girlfriends looked the same
Bm A G E
He rumbled down for a change of scenery
F# Bm A G E F#
Hello, Toolmaster of Brainerd
[Hook]
F# Bm A G E F#
Toolmaster of Brainerd
[Verse 2]
Bm A G E
Inside his case was a Gibson disaster
F#
Toolmaster of Brainerd
Bm A G E
He played guitar like a master but faster
F#
Toolmaster of Brainerd
G D
He came to town on a charter bus
G Em F#
Too young and sweet to be hustling us
Bm A G E
He played guitar like a natural disaster
F# Bm A G E F#
Play on, Toolmaster of Brainerd
[Hook]
F# Bm A G E F#
Toolmaster of Brainerd
[Bridge]
N.C.
Lost feet calling at the milking stool
Up in Brainerd where the children go to milking school
He learned to play the Gibson that his dog had found
N.C.
And it came to haunt the bars of Minneapolis town
N.C.
Now spell casters, the jeweled and cruel pastors
In town came to shackle and chain the toolmaster (he will!)
A fool fast in the jaws of cash flashers
N.C.
Insane with blue magic and flames
Toolmaster returned!
[Verse 3]
Bm A G E
A letter came from the Buckeye creamery
F#
It said, "Mr. Master of Brainerd..."
What?
Bm A G E
"We're going to start up the old machinery
F#
Mr. Master of Brainerd"
Why?
G D
Then all this old girlfriends lined up in the sky
G Em F#
And told him to kiss the Twin towns goodbye
Bm A G E
He rumbled up north for a change of scenery
F# Bm
Goodbye, Toolmaster of Brainerd
[Hook]
F# Bm A G E F#
Toolmaster of Brainerd
