[Bridge 1]
Dm A7I keep listening for footsteps,
Dm Bb A7But I ain't ever hearing any
Dm A7From the boat, I fish for bullheads
Dm C/E F FoI catch a lot, sometimes too many
[Verse 3]
F7 Fo F7A summer breeze is blowin',
Bb Eb7 BbA squall is setting in.

[Verse 5]
F7 Fo F7One of the bosses' hangers-on sometimes comes to call

F7 Fo F7They say times are hard,
Bb Eb7 BbIf you don't believe it you can follow your nose.

Bb Ebm BbWe will just have to see how it goes.
[Interlude 2] F7 F#o F#7 F7 [Verse 7]
F7 Fo F7My old man he's like some feudal lord,

Bb Ebm BbThings come alive or they fall flat.
[Verse 8]
F7 Fo F7You can smell the pine wood burnin'
Bb Eb7 BbYou can hear the school-bell ring.
F7 Fo F7Got to get up near the teacher, if you can
Bb Ebm Bb A7If you wanna learn anything.
[Bridge 3]
Dm A7Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion
Dm Bb A7It don't give you an appearance of a youthful touch."
Dm A7Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off
Dm C/E F FoIf it bothers you so much."
[Verse 9]
F7 Fo F7They all got out of here any way they could -
Bb Eb7 BbCold rain can give you the shivers.
F7 Fo F7They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
Bb Ebm BbAll the rest of them rebel rivers.
[Interlude 3] F7 F#o F#7 F7 [[Verse 10]
F7 Fo F7If you ever try to interfere with me, or cross my path again,
Bb Eb7 BbYou do so at the peril of your own life.

Bb Ebm BbI've seen enough heartache and strife.
[Verse 11]
F7 Fo F7My grandfather was a duck trapper
Bb Eb7 BbHe could do it with just dragnets and ropes

Bb Ebm Bb A7I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes.
[Bridge 4]
Dm A7I had 'em once though I suppose
DmTo go along with all the ring dancing,
Bb A7Christmas Carols on all the Christmas Eves
Dm A7I left all my dreams and hopes
Dm C/E F FoBuried under tobacco leaves
[Verse 12]
F7 Fo F7Not always easy kicking someone out,
Bb Eb7 BbGot to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task.
F7 Fo F7Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
Bb Ebm BbAnd, tears or not, it's too much to ask.
[Outro] F7 F#o F#7 F7 Bb6
