C No one on this side of town F Knows a good place for a boy to drown Am G They look at me so strange when I talk C F I wish I was a tradesman learnin' from some beat down old layman Am On some hillside they ain't named yet G Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke And everyone lately's scarin' me It's all backdoor deals and therapy The only callous I've grown is in my mind I wish I was a tradesman Playin' with some tuned up tired string band Somewhere out by the badlands Way past closin' time Chorus: Am G C So if you want to trade I'd say it's a hard F earned mile Am G C F I want to sweat like hell, throw a hammer down Am G C F And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile Am G C F G And know I didn't take no easy way out There's somethin' more that I need Than accolades and sympathy Fatiguin' in the summer heat While they smoke big cigars So give me somethin' I can't fake That rich boys can't manipulate Somethin' real that they can't take 'Cause, Lord, I'm not your star Chorus: If you wanna trade, I'd say it's a hard earned mile Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile And know I didn't take no easy way out Everyone lately's scarin' me It's all backdoor deals and therapy The only callous I've grown is in my mind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
