TIMBER MAN
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Many many years ago when this land was young,
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
A lot of our country was covered by big, tall, beautiful trees.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And men had to have the trees to make wood to build houses,
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Make furniture with, to make boats, even to make paper with.
ch]E[/ch
So as more and more people came, more wood was needed,
ch]B7[/ch
So more and more trees were cut down.
ch]E[/ch
And the man that lived in the forest and cut down the trees
ch]E[/ch
Was called the timber man.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Well, my world is green and dark and dumb, My home is in the loggin' camp,
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
All week I cut down the mighty trees, Saturday I get to do as I please.
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
I give the man more than his hire, and he'll never know it, if I tire,
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Show me the toughest tree around, the timber man will bring it down.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Swing it hard, cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Move when the axe is in my hand make way for the timber man.
ch]E[/ch
Spoken: Yeah, he was a mighty big tough man usually,
That timber man that lived in that forest and cut down those big trees.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Well, they say there's sawdust in my brain,
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And don't get caught out in the rain. I got stump water in my blood,
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The sweat from my brow turns the ground to mud.
ch]B7[/ch
When the men don't know how to fell a tree,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The one they'll come and ask is me.
ch]B7[/ch
I'll mark my spot and I'll take my stand,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The tree?s gonna fall for the timber Man
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Swing it hard cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Move when the axe is in my hand, make way for the timber man.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
And when they're cuttin' on a tree and it's just about ready to fall,
ch]E[/ch
The man yells out
