Blue Collar Boys

Intro
D    G D/F# A  D    G D/F# A

Verse 1
D                  G
We were just river kids
A                      D
Pickin' up stones like David did
         G                                           A
Watchin' them longnecks break off of Freight Train Bridge
D                      G
We went to church in a Detroit car
    A                          D
Our daddies drank draft at the local bar
        G                                  A
With an achin' back just like old Granddad did

Chorus
            G                 D
And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
A                     D
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
G                                       A
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
   G                D
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
A               D
Bust our backs, barely getting by
    G           D                A
Carolina to California up to Illinois
              G    D/F# A
Yeah, there's guys like us

Verse 2
          D                         G
We're the white paint peeling off a picket fence
    A                      D
The rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench
         G                                          A
When the sun's coming up you can bet we're clocking in
     G                                       A
Cash our paycheck, two day break, and do it again

Chorus
            G                 D
And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
A                     D
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
G                                      A
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
   G                D
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
A               D
Bust our backs, barely getting by
    G           D                A
Carolina to California up to Illinois
              G    D/F# A
Yeah, there's guys like us

Bridge
      D              G
We're worn out boots and old Levi's
    D           G                      A
The wind behind the stars and stripes, and we

Chorus
     G                 D
Like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
A                 D
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
G                                      A
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
   G                D
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
A               D
Bust our backs, barely getting by
