Old Carhartt

[Verso 1]
 
C            C/B             Am 
 He couldnt wait to hit the road 
    Fmaj7         C 
The day he turned 18 
        C/B         Am 
So much fire in his soul 
    Fmaj7    C 
The pain was gasoline 

C   C/B           Am 
 Oh he was headed west 
   Fmaj7           C 
To work out on the rig 
        C/B             Am 
Pay was fair and he was young 
      Fmaj7           C 
Wild, free and having fun 

C         C/B           Am 
 Now that boy is twenty-four 
Fmaj7        C 
Life it is a wreck 
C      C/B                  Am 
We all know that hes blue collared 
        Fmaj7           C 
Proudly wears it on his chest

Fmaj7         C

       C/B                 Am 
And he swears it keeps him warm 
       Fmaj7        C 
in the North Dakota wind 
                G7 
Oh North Dakota wind

Fmaj7         C

C         C/B           Am

          Fmaj7          C 
Under the stars until it ends 

C    C/B             Am 
 And now that boy is tired 
Fmaj7          C 
Barely holdin on 
       C/B                 Am

But the boy we knew is gone
