C  G  D  Em C  G  D 


               C                 G            D           Em
We built those boats down at the shipyard for 40 years or more
   C             G                 D               Em
We only laid our hammers down when we left for the war 
          C                G          D              Em
Now these days I watch the night fall across a tired floor
C               G          D                 
Far too old for working anymore 

         C               G          D                Em
Wake the same hour every morning to join the morning crew
   C              G              D               Em
We line up at the coffee shop to get the morning news
         C             G        D                 Em
We still wear the same clothes, wear the same old shoes
C               G           D                 
Lookin' back is all we ever do

           Em         C                  G              
An endless wire, that runs through these days
            Em         C             D              
Deepens the lines that run across my face
    C      G                D             Em
But if you want to know the kind of man I am
C                    D            Em
Take a look at these hard workin' hands

          Em           C              G              
There's a map that has hardened in my skin 
             Em        C                D              
Everywhere I go I take every place I've been
    C             G                   D             Em
The lifeline is a highway through the towns of memories
C          Em    D
Every scar has a story


           Em         C                  G              
An endless wire, that runs through these days
            Em         C             D              
Deepens the lines that run across my face
    C      G                D             Em
But if you want to know the kind of man I am
C                    D            Em
Take a look at these hard workin' hands


               C                 G            D           Em

C            G            D                Em
Took a break for the time we served in the war
        C              G               D            Em
Another evening at the legion with the TV's evening news
C               G           D                 
Lookin' back is all we ever do

           Em         C                  G              
An endless wire, that runs through these days
            Em         C             D              
Deepens the lines that run across my face
    C      G                D             Em
