Vic Chesnutt - Expiration Day chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Transcribed by: Scott Holcomb
Bb F Bb
I'm a machinist at the Springfield armory
Bb Eb Bb
Just slightly ahead of my time
Bb F Gm Eb
But I don't make much money
F Ab Bb
So I sell eggs and chickens on the side
Bb F Gm Eb F Ab Bb
Bb F Bb
I'm good at what I do
Bb Eb Bb
And I take great pride
Bb F Gm Eb
But I don't make much money
F Ab Bb
So I sell eggs and chickens on the side
Eb Bb
And my wife does love me
Eb Bb
But she can't realize
Eb Bb
Why I won't go back down south
Bb F
And leave the armory behind
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/v/vic-chesnutt/289847.html ]
Bb F Bb
But I lo - ve my job
Bb Eb Bb
I'll shave metal until I die
Bb F Gm Eb
And until I do, I'll take on
F Ab Bb
Any extra thing it takes to provide
Bb F Gm Eb F Ab Bb
Bb F Bb
And I know it'll kill me
Bb Eb Bb
Breathing all those fumes
Bb F Gm Eb
But I'd sooner sniff solution
F Ab Bb
Than a baker's dozen hothouse blooms
Eb Bb
And my wife does love me
Eb Bb
But she can't realize
Eb Bb
Why I won't go back down south
Bb F
And leave the armory behind
Bb F Bb
But I feel it is important
Bb Eb Bb
What I do upon my lathe
Bb F Gm Eb
I pledge to do the detail work
F Ab Bb
Until my expiration day
Bb F Bb
Until my expiration day
Bb F Bb
Until my expiration day
Bb F Gm Eb
Until my expiration day
Bb F Gm Eb F Ab Bb (x2)
