Intro: 
NONE 

Verse 1:
 A       D               A 
Started work when I was ten 
         D               A 
Like my father did back then 
         D                     A      D       A   Asus4 A 
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames 

 A     D                     A 
Fifty years up in that that mill 
          D                  A 
I nearly killed myself and still 
         D             A          D  Dsus4 D 
I ain't got no dollar bill to my name 


Instrumental: 
A  D  A  D  A  D  A D A D 


Verse 2: 
 A        D                    A 
Old Bill Hicks from nowhere's middle 
           D               A 
Taught me how to play the fiddle 
          D               A        D    A  Asus4 A 
In East Ohio there ain't too much goin' on 

 A      D                A 
But we like it that way here 
          D             A 
Not much changes every year 
             D               A 
Except the whiskey jug gets lower 
           D  Dsus4  D 
Till it's gone 



                 G 
At the same old screen door 
          D 
That the dog scratched through 
                  G 
And the same old wood floor 
       D 
Underneath my shoe 
                  G 
And the same old woman 
         D            Bm 
Making chicken every night 
          A              A 
Yeah, I guess did alright 



Instrumental: 
D  A  D  A  D   A D A D 


Verse 3: 
A     D          A 
I was only seventeen 
       D                  A 
Met a girl from Bowling Green 
            D        A       D       A  Asus4 A 
It was the fieriest kind of winter fling 

 A        D               A 
She got pregnant with my son 
          D               A 
I didn't have nowhere to run 
      D                A              D    Dsus4 D 
So I manned up and we married in the Spring 


 
                 G 
At the same old screen door 
          D 
That the dog scratched through 
                  G 
And the same old wood floor 
       D 
Underneath my shoe 
                  G 
And the same old woman 
         D             Bm 
Causin' trouble every night 
          A                A 
Yeah, I guess I did alright 



Instrumental:

Verse 4: 
 A       D               A 
Started work when I was ten 
         D               A 
Like my father did back then 
         D                     A      D       A   Asus4 A 
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames 

 A       D            A 
Now I'm nearly sixty-eight 
       D                 A 
Got a gal that sets me straight 
              D             A 
And I've got supper on my plate 
               D               A 
And I've got grandkids on the way 
           D             A 
And I owe money to the state 
            D              A 
Because my taxes all were late 
             D                A 
But if you think I care then you're 
N.C.          D  Dsus4 D 
Just makin' noise 



                 G 
At the same old screen door 
          D 
That the dog scratched through 
                  G 
And the same old wood floor 
       D 
Underneath my shoe 
                  G 
And the same old woman 
        D                  Bm 
Leavin' on that old porch light 
          A  N.C. 
Yeah, I guess I did alright
