I'm an engine driver
Cmaj         G           D
On a long run, on a long run
Cmaj           Em    Bm
Would I work beside her?
Cmaj                G   D
She's a long one, such a long one

Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me, let me go
Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

Cmaj           Em      Bm
I'm a country lineman
Cmaj           G              D
On a high line, on a high line
Cmaj            Em      Bm
So will be my grandson
Cmaj                  G     D
There are power lines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me, let me go
Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

G               Bm                   Em
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
              C          G
I am the heart that you call home
                      Bm          Em
And I've written pages upon pages
             C                      F E
Trying to rid you from my bones
   F E
My bones My bones

Interlude:.   Cmaj Em Bm Cmaj G D - Cmaj Em Bm Cmaj G D

Cmaj           Em      Bm
I'm a money lender
Cmaj           G              D
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Cmaj           Em      Bm
Take my hand for tender
C maj     G   D
I am tortured, ever tortured

Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me, let me go
Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

  G    Bm    Em
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
               C                         G
I am the heart that you call home
                      Bm    Em
And I've written pages upon pages
               C                         G
Trying to rid you from my bones
           Bm       Em                C     G
I am a writer, I am all that you have home. Home
                   Bm        Em 
And I've written pages upon pages
               C                  F    E
Trying to rid you from my bones
F E
My bones My bones

Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me, let me go
Cmaj             G      D      Cmaj          Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go
