Summer Wages Song Lyrics and Chords by Doyle Lawson

 

Summer Wages
Recorded J.D. Crowe
Written by Ian Tyson
G 
Never hit seventeen when you  
C 
play against the dealer
 
For you  
G 
know that the  
Am 
odds won't ride with  
D7 
you
 
And  
G 
never leave your woman alone
 
When your  
C 
friends are out to steal her
 
Here's a  
G 
gamble and  
Am 
lost like summer  
D7 
wa-
G 
ges
 
And we'll keep rollin' on till we  
C 
get to Vancouver
 
And the  
G 
woman that I  
Am 
love is living  
D7 
there
 
Its been  
G 
six long months and  
C 
more since I've seen her
 
She may be  
G 
gambled and  
Am 
gone like summer  
D7 
wa-
G 
ges
 
And  
D7 
all the beer taverns all  
C 
down along  
G 
Young 
 
Street
 
The dreams of the  
G7 
season are all  
C 
spilled down on the  
G 
floor
 
All the  
D7 
big stands of timber just  
C 
waitin' for  
G 
fallin'
 
And the hustlers sit and  
G7 
watchfully as they  
C 
wait there by the  
D7 
door
G 
So I'll work on them towboats in  
C 
my slippery city shoes
 
Which I  
G 
swore I would  
Am 
never do a
D7 
gain
 
Through the  
G 
gray fog bound straights
 
Where the  
C 
cedars stand watchin'
 
I'll be far  
G 
off and  
Am 
gone like summer  
D7 
wa-
G 
ges
 
She's a woman so fine I may  
C 
never try to find her
 
For good  
G 
memories are  
Am 
what we had  
D7 
before
 
They  
G 
should never be changed
 
For they're  
C 
all that I'll take with me
 
Now I've  
G 
gambled and  
Am 
lost my summer  
D7 
wa-
G 
ges
 
C 
Years are  
G 
gambled and  
Am 
lost like summer  
D7 
wa-
G 
ges
