[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Never hit seventeen
When you [C]play against the
dealer [Dsus4]for you know
[G]The [Em]odds won't ride with [Dsus4]you[D]
Never [G]leave your woman alone
[C]When [G]your [C]friends are out to
steal her years [G]again
And [Em]lost like summer [Dsus4]wages[D][G]
And [C]we'll [G]keep rollin' on
till we [C]get to Vancouver
And the [G]one that I [Em]love
is livin' [Dsus4]there
[D]It's been [G]six long months
and [C]more since I've seen her
Never made the [G]gamble
and [Em]gone like summer
[Dsus4]wages[D][G]
In [D]all of the beer bars
[C]down along [G]Main Street
The dreams [D]of [G]the sea[Em]son
are all [C]spilled out [Dsus4]on the fl[D]oor[G]
Are the [D]big stands of timber
just [C]waiting for the fall
[G]And the hookers waiting wat[Em]chfully
as they [C]sit there [G]by [C]the [D]door[Am][D]
So I'll [G]work on the towboats
with my [C]slippery city shoes on
Which I [G]swore I would [Em]never do
[Dsus4]again[D]
Through the [G]gray fog -bound streets
Where the [C]cedars stand waiting
I'll be [G]far off and [Em]gone like summer [Dsus4]wages
[D][G][D][Em][D][G][C][Dsus4][G]
[Em][D][G]
[Em]And [D]all of the beer bars
[C]down along [G]Main Street
The dreams of the sea[Em]son
are all [C]spilled out [D]on the [G]floor
By the [D]big stands of timber
just [C]waiting for the [G]fall
And the hookers waiting [Em]watchfully
as they [C]sit there by the [D]door[Dsus4]
[Am]So I[D]'ll work[G] on the towboats
with my slip[C]pery city shoes on
Which I [G]swore I would [Em]nev
er do [Dsus4]again
[D]Through the [G]grey fog -bound streets
where the [C]cedars stand waiting
I'll be [G]far off and [Em]gone like
summer [Dsus4]wages[D][G]
[C]Years [D]I g[G]ambled and
[Em]lost like summer wages
[D][G]
