    D MajorD
Well I got my welding tickets
G+G
Set out on the road
   Hm
To a place I never heard of
 G+G        A augmentedA
About two years ago
 D MajorD
I wonder what they?re doing
   G+G
Back home in Sunnybrae?
  Hm
I?m in Vermilion River
     A augmentedA       D MajorD
They?re a million miles away


        G+G            D MajorD
What would they say if I went back empty handed?
   G+G        A augmentedA      D MajorD
They won?t know who I am for all I know
   E minorEm       G+G    A augmentedA   Hm
But I know they'd compare me to my brothers
  E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD
And laugh behind my back if I went home


| G+G | G+G | D MajorD | D MajorD | G+G | G+G | D MajorD | D MajorD | E minorEm | G+G | D MajorD | D MajorD |


 D MajorD              G+G
I tried my hand at farming and on the oil fields
     Hm
Hell I?ve done my share of drinking
   G+G        A augmentedA
to forget about how I feel
D MajorD             G+G
Once there was a lady, she set my heart in flames
  Hm             A augmentedA       D MajorD
I?m in Vermilion River, she?s a million miles away

        G+G            D MajorD
What would she say if I went back empty handed?
  G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD
She has another man for all I know
   E minorEm     G+G     A augmentedA   Hm
But I know, she?d compare me to her lovers
    E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD
And pretend we never met if I went home


     G+G           D MajorD
Before I go I have to make a confession
    G+G           D MajorD
Between me, you, Jesus and the wall
 E minorEm           G+G   A augmentedA   Hm
I burnt down a house, and no one knows about it
  E minorEm      G+G      D MajorD
So now Vermilion River is my home
 E minorEm           G+G   A augmentedA   Hm
I burnt down a house, and no one knows about it
  E minorEm      G+G      D MajorD
So now Vermilion River is my home
