Summer Wages Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Never hit seventeen
when you [C]play against the dealer
For [G]you know the [Em]odds
won't ride with [D]you
Never [G]leave your woman alone
when your [C]friends are out to steal her
Here's [G]our gamble and [Em]lost
like summer [D]wages[G]
And we'll keep rolling out
till we [C]get to Vancouver
and the [G]one that I [Em]love
who's living [D]there.
It's been [G]six long months
and [C]more since I've seen her,
made the [G]gamble,
and [Em]gone like summer [D]wind, [G]DJs.
In [D]all of the beer bars
[C]down along [G]Main Street
The [Em]dreams of the season
are all [C]spilled out on [G]the floor
All the [D]big stands of timber
are just wait[C]ing for the [G]fall
And the [Em]hookers waiting watchful
as they [C]sit there by [D]the door
So I'll [G]work on the towboats
in my slip[C]pery city shoes,
which I [G]swore [Em]I'd
never do [D]again.
Through the [G]grey, fog -bound streets
where the [C]cedars stand waiting,
I'll be [G]far off and [Em]gone like
summer [D]wages.[G]
And [D]all of the beer bars
[C]down the long [G]main street
[Em]Drinks of the season
are all [C]spilled out on the [G]floor
All the [D]big stands of timber
just are [C]waiting for the [G]fall
And the [Em]hookers waiting watchful,
they sit [C]there by the [D]door
Never [G]hit seventeen
when you [C]play against the dealer
For you [G]know the [Em]odds
won't ride with [D]you
Never [G]leave your woman alone
when your [C]friends are out to steal her
Years of [G]gamblin' and lost
[Em]like summer weig[D]htin'
[G]Years of gamblin' and lost
[Em]like summer weightin'

[Outro 1]
