(Throw in a hammer-on on the low E and A from time to time when playing G chord)

[Verse 1]
G
He works the night shift at the depot
                    D
With a pistol and a light
G
And he guards them rusty missiles
          D                    G
Counting whitetail to pass the time
G
And he's worked there for a long while
                            D
Since he came home from overseas
G
Helping Kilcorn fight the good fight
        D               G
Bring Baghdad to its knees
D                           G
And it was hotter than the mountain
D                                 G
But it weren't so's he couldn't stand
G
And it weren't so much the heat wave
       D                    G
Nearly as much as all the sand

[Repeat Riff]

[Verse 2]
G
Now his daddy, he's a log man
                        D
With a good leg and a fake
G
That he got off of a buddy
          D              G
And a shitshot that he made
G
And he worked them hands to blisters
                              D
And he raised them young'uns right
G
On a little bit of scripture
                     D
And an acreage of paradise
D                     G
And he'd go out on weekends
D                           G
And he played like Clarence White
G
But Clarence had a real job
                 D                    G
And picked the guitar when there was time

[Repeat Riff]

(Repeat 2x if there is a solo)

G
Keeps a trap line in the winter
                          D
Keeps a line wet in the spring
G
On a lock wall fishing muskie
                      D
With his eldest and steed
D                                 G
And they swap tales about their raisin'
D                          G
And they tell the office lies
G
And they go home when they've a notion
          D              G
And the muskie quit to bitin'

[End With Riff]
