 I'm an engine driver 
                      G       D            C 
 on a long run, on a long run 
                         Em   B           C 
 would I were beside her 
                           G          D 
 she's a long one, such a long one

I'm a county lineman 
on the high line, on the high line 
so will be my grandson 
there are powerlines in our blood lines 
 
and if you don't love me let me go 
and if you don't love me let me go

                    D               C 
I've written pages upon pages 
                                       F          E 
trying to rid you from my bones 
F          E            C.... 
my bones, my bones....
