C No one on this side of town F Knows a good place for a boy to drown Am G They look at me so strange when I talk C F I wish I was a tradesman learnin' from some beat down old layman Am On some hillside they ain't named yet G Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke And everyone lately's scarin' me It's all backdoor deals and therapy The only callous I've grown is in my mind I wish I was a tradesman Playin' with some tuned up tired string band Somewhere out by the badlands Way past closin' time Chorus: Am G C So if you want to trade I'd say it's a hard F earned mile Am G C F I want to sweat like hell, throw a hammer down Am G C F And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile Am G C F G And know I didn't take no easy way out There's somethin' more that I need Than accolades and sympathy Fatiguin' in the summer heat While they smoke big cigars So give me somethin' I can't fake That rich boys can't manipulate Somethin' real that they can't take 'Cause, Lord, I'm not your star Chorus: If you wanna trade, I'd say it's a hard earned mile Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile And know I didn't take no easy way out Everyone lately's scarin' me It's all backdoor deals and therapy The only callous I've grown is in my mind | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
