Dave Gunning - Hard Workin Hands

      Dave Gunning - Hard Workin' Hands




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


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


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


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


CHORUS:
           F                            C
An endless wire that runs through these days
            F                      Am
Deepens the lines that run down my face
                   G        C            F
But if you want to know the kind of man I am
                     G            F       C   F   C
Take a look at these hard workin' hands

          F                                          G
We took a break for the time when we left for the war
        Am                   G         C       
Another evening at the legion with the TV's evening news
    F                           G   C
And looking back is all we ever do
