Thank you, here's a tune that I like to do that was written by Ian Tyson, it's [Bb] called Summer Wages.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Gm]
[F] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] Never get seventeen
[Eb] When you play against the dealer
[Bb] Oh you know [Gm] that the odds won't ride [F] with you
And [Bb] never leave your woman alone
When [Eb] your friends are about to steal
[Bb] Your years are gambled [Gm] and lost
Like summer [F] [Bb] wages
And we'll keep it going on
[Eb] Until we get to Vancouver
And [Bb] the woman [Gm] that I love is living [F] there
It's [Bb] been six long months
[Eb] And more since I've seen her
She [Bb] may be far off [Gm] and gone
Like summer [F] [Bb] wages
And [F] all the beer [Cm] taverns
[Eb] All down [Bb] along Yonge Street
The dreams [Dm] of the season
Are [Eb] both spilled down [Bb] on the floor
[F] All the big stands of timber
[Eb] Just waiting [F] [Bb] for a balling
[Gm] And the [Bb] hustlers sitting watchfully
[Eb] As they wait there by [F] the door
[Bb] So I work on them towboats
[Eb] In my slippery city shoes
[Bb] Which I swore [Gm] I would never do [Bb] again
[F] And [Bb] through the grape of bound streets
[Eb] Where the cedars stand
Sitting watching [Bb] I'll be far off
[Gm] And gone like [F] summer [Bb] wages
She's
[Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] [F] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
a woman so fine
[Eb] I may never try to find her
Poor [Bb] good memories [Gm] are what we [Bb] had before
[F]
Well she [Bb] should never be changed
For [Eb] their ball they don't take with me
But [Bb] now I've gambled [Gm] and lost my summer [F] [Bb] wages
Years [Eb]
