[Intro]
D
DFame a dream, put off for the families needs.
 GHe puts in eight down at the Dfactory,
 GWhen he gets home his feet are Dtired.
 GIf he had his way, he'd been a-Bmworkin'
With his Dhands on Awood and Dwire.
Saginaw Gspruce, Tennessee Dmaple,
Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond Astrings.
Late at Bmnight Ghe fans that Dfire,
When he grabs hold of Athat wood and Dwire.
DDays, years, his dream just disappears.
 GThey never once heard him comDplainin',
 GThey're every wish is his deDsire.
 GAnd without them he might have Bmmade it,
With his Dhands on Awood and Dwire.
Saginaw Gspruce, Tennessee Dmaple,
Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond Astrings.
Late at Bmnight Ghe fans that Dfire,
When he grabs hold of Athat wood and Dwire.
If you Gask him he will Dtell you
That he Gdon't have no reAgrets.
Then he'll Bmtake Ghis calloused Dfingers,
And let 'em fly Aacross those Dfrets.
Saginaw Gspruce, Tennessee Dmaple,
Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond Astrings.
Late at Bmnight Ghe fans that Dfire,
When he grabs hold of Athat wood and Dwire.
Late at Bmnight Ghe fans that Dfire,
When he grabs hold of Athat wood and Dwire.

[Intro]

Fame a dream, put off for the families needs.

He puts in eight down at the factory,

G D

When he gets home his feet are tired.

G Bm

If he had his way, he'd been a-workin'

D A D

With his hands on wood and wire.

G D

Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,

Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond strings.

Bm G D

Late at night he fans that fire,

A D

When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.

Days, years, his dream just disappears.

G D

They never once heard him complainin',

G D

They're every wish is his desire.

G Bm

And without them he might have made it,

D A D

With his hands on wood and wire.

G D

Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,

Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond strings.

Bm G D

Late at night he fans that fire,

A D

When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.

G D

If you ask him he will tell you

G A

That he don't have no regrets.

Bm G D

Then he'll take his calloused fingers,

A D

And let 'em fly across those frets.

G D

Saginaw spruce, Tennessee maple,

Sears and Roebuck, Black Diamond strings.

Bm G D

Late at night he fans that fire,

A D

When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.

Bm G D

Late at night he fans that fire,

A D

When he grabs hold of that wood and wire.
