[Verse 1]
Cmaj
No one on this side of town
Fmaj7
Knows a good place for a boy to drown
Am G
They look at me so strange when I talk
Cmaj Fmaj7
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

[Verse 2]
Cmaj
And everyone lately’s scarin’ me
Fmaj7
It’s all backdoor deals and therapy
Am G
And the only callous I’ve grown’s in my mind
Cmaj Fmaj7
I wish I was a tradesman playin’ with some tuned-up tight string band
Am G
Somewhere out by the badlands way past closin’ time

[Chorus]
Am G C F
So if you want to trade I’d say it’s a hard earned mile
Am G C F
I want to sweat like hеll, throw a hammer down
Am G C F
And know the old feelin’ of a five o’clock smilе
Am G C F G*
And know I didn’t take no easy way out

***

[Verse 3]
Cmaj
There’s something more that I need
Fmaj7
than accolades and sympathy
Am G
Fatiguing in the summer heat while they smoke big cigars
Cmaj
So give me something I can’t fake
Fmaj7
That rich boys can’t manipulate

Something real that they can’t take
Am G
Cause lord I’m not your star

[Chorus]
Am G C F
So if you want to trade I’d say it’s a hard earned mile
Am G C F
I want to sweat like hеll, throw a hammer down
Am G C F
And know the old feelin’ of a five o’clock smilе
Am G C F
And know I didn’t take no easy way out
