Summer Wages by Matthew Barber
Summer Wages
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
[Intro:]
D
[Verse 1:]
G
Never hit 17, when you play against the dealer
D Bm A
Cause you know That the odds won''''t ride with you
D G
And never leave your women alone when your friends are out to steal her
D Bm A D
She might be gambled and gone like summer wages
[Verse 2:]
G
And we''''ll keep rolling on till we get to Vancouver
D Bm A
Cause the lady that I love she''''s living there
D G
And it''''s been six long months or more since I''''ve seen her
D Bm A D
She might be gambled and gone like summer wages
[Chorus:]
A G D
In all the beer parlors all down the long main street
Bm G A
Dreams of the season are spilled down on the floor
G D
Big stands of timber wait there just for falling
Bm G A
The Hookers standing watch for me, waiting by the door
[Verse 3:]
D G
So I work on them toes with my slippery city shoes
D Bm A
Though I swore I would never do that again
D G
Through the great fog bound streets where the sea stands awaiting
D Bm A D
I''''ll be far off and gone like summer wages
[Instrumental:]
D G D Bm A D G D Bm A D
[Chorus:]
[Verse: 4:]
D G
Never hit 17, when you play against the dealer
D Bm A
Cause you know That the odds won''''t ride with you
D G
Never leave your women alone when your friends are out to steal her
D Bm A D
She might be gambled and gone like summer wages
Bm A D G D
And the years are gambled and lost like summer wages
