Ian Tyson - Summer wages

^DNever hit seventeen, when you ^Gplay against the dealer You ^Dknow that the ^Bmodds won't ride with ^Ayou... And never ^Dleave your woman alone, when your ^Gfriends are out to steal her Years are ^Dgambled and ^Bmlost like summer ^Awage^Ds

^DAnd we'll keep rollin on, 'til we ^Gget to Vancouver And the ^Dlady that I ^Bmlove, she's living ^Athere It's been ^Dsix long months and ^Gmore since I've seen her Maybe ^Dgambled and ^Bmgone, like summer ^Awage^Ds

In ^Aall the beer parlors, all ^Gdown along ^Dmain street The dreams of the ^Bmseasons, get all ^Gspilled down on the ^Dfloor All the ^Abig stands of timber, just ^Gwaiting for the ^Dfalling And the hookers standing ^Bmwatchfully , ^Gwaiting by the ^Adoor

So I'll ^Dwork on the towboats, with my ^Gslippery city shoes Which lord I ^Dswore I would ^Bmnever do ^Aagain... Through the ^Dgray fog bound straits, where the ^Gcedars stand a watching I'll be ^Dfar off and ^Bmgone, like summer ^Awage^Ds

In ^Aall the beer parlors, all ^Gdown along ^Dmain street The dreams of the ^Bmseasons, get all ^Gspilled down on the ^Dfloor All the ^Abig stands of timber, just ^Gwaiting for the ^Dfalling And the hookers standing ^Bmwatchfully , ^Gwaiting by the ^Adoor

Never ^Dhit seventeen, when you ^Gplay against the dealer You ^Dknow that the ^Bmodds won't ride with ^Ayou... And never ^Dleave your woman alone, when your f^Griends are out to steal her Years are ^Dgambled and ^Bmlost like summer ^Awage^Ds X 2
