Dave Gunning - Hard Workin' Hands
We built those Amboats down at the shipyard Gfor Cforty years or more
We Fonly laid our hammers down when left for the war G  
Now these Amdays I watch the night fall GaCcross a tired floor
FFar too old for working anymore G  
Wake the Amsame hour every morning Gto Cjoin the morning crew
We Fline up at the coffee shop to get the morning newsG  
AmWe still wear the same clothesG, Cwear the same old shoes
FLooking back is all we ever doG  C  
CHORUS:
An endless Fwire that runs through these Cdays
Deepens the Flines that run across my Amface
But if you want to Gknow the Ckind of man I Fam
Take a look at these Ghard workin' FhandsC  F  C  
GThere's a Ammap that has hardened Gin my Cskin 
FEverywhere I go, I take every place I've Gbeen
The Amlifeline is a highway Gthrough the Ctowns of memoriesF  
Every scar has a stoGryC  
CHORUS:
An endless Fwire that runs through these Cdays
Deepens the Flines that run down my Amface
But if you want to Gknow the Ckind of man I Fam
