Boss Man [Live] chords and lyrics - GORDON LIGHTFOOT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Boss man, boss man,
what do you say?
I gotta get you alone in the
mine some day
Boss man, boss man turn it around
If you don't look away

[Verse 2]
how can I sit down?
[G]Look at this load [Bb]upon my [G]back
Get this wheel back on the track
I can't hold on but I [Bb]can't let [G]go
And I can't say yes, I can[Bb]'t say n[G]o
[C]Holes in my pockets and holes

[Verse 3]
[C]
in my shoes
If you're ready for me, I'm ready for you
The company plan takes all my pay
Got a child in July and another last May
Boss man, [G]boss man,

[Verse 4]
[F]what do you say?
[G]Gonna get you alone in the
mine some day
Push your face down in the coal
'Cause you got no heart,
[F]you got [G]no soul

[Verse 5]
[C]Country life's the life for me
In ten more years I'll a pensioner be
The younger lad knows
when the girls are out

[Verse 6]
But you might say he's a rural sprout
[G]Boss man, boss man, what do you say?
Gonna get you alone in the
mine some day
Boss man, boss man, [Bb]clear [G]the track
You're gonna tear the skin

[Verse 7]
right off of my back
[G]
[C]Boss man, boss man, what do you say?
If you can't lend a hand
then get outta my way
It'll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me
[G]Boss man, boss man,

[Verse 8]
[F]pay my [G]rent
A dollar I've earned is a dollar I've spent
The company plan takes [F]all my [G]check
For breakin' my back
and riskin' my neck

[Verse 9]
[C]Boss man, boss man, what do you say?
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
I can't hold on but I can't let go

[Outro 1]
And I can't say yes, I can't say no
[C][D]
