Blue Collar Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]If [F]a m[C]an [F]had[C] the money,
in this [F]land of milk and honey,
If that [C]wolf would just stop
knocking at my [G]door,
I'd buy an [C]acre in the country,
far [F]away from the city,
And I'd [C]get me some chickens
and go [G]fishing with the kids,
Like my [C]daddy before me,
I'd [F]live off the land,
Raise my [E]children where
the air is fit [Am]to breathe[C]
I'd [F]sell this old guitar,
buy [C]a pickup and a [F]plow
And I'd quit [C]singing, I'd quit [G]singing
These [C]blue [G]-collar [F]blues
These [C]blue [G]-collar [F]blues
[C]Hopefully [G]someday [F]I may lose
[C]These blu[F]e col[Em] lar blu[Dm]es
These [F]blue col[G]lar [C]blues[F][C]
[F]I trade a[C]ll these fancy freeways
[F]For that old two lane
Black[C]top country road
That still [G]runs through my mind
The one I [C]traveled as a youngster
Before [F]I hit the city
Before [C]I made my killing
Just [G]killing myself
And I'm [C]living for the day,
working for [F]that greenback dollar
That'll [E]free me from this
brick -and -mortar world
[Am]of seeming dream[C]s
[F]And they'll never miss me,
someone [C]will take my [F]place
And they'll be [C]singing,
they'll be [G]singing
These [C]blue [G]-collar blu[F]es
These [C]blue [G]-collar [F]blues
[C]Hopefully [G]someday [F]I may lose
[C]These blu[F]e -co[Em]lored blu[Dm]es
These [F]blue [G]-colored [C]blues
[F][C][F][C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C]
[F]Hopeful[C]ly som[G]eday I m[F]ay lose
[C]These [F]blue [Em]-collar b[Dm]lues
These [F]blue [G]-collar blues
[C][F][C][F]
