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


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


| G | G | D | D | G | G | D | D | Em | G | D | D |


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


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


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