Something More Than Free Chords

(ver. 2)
Jason Isbell
[Verse 1]
     G
When I get home from work 
       C               G  
I'll call up all my friends
     G/F#     Em7                  C    
And we'll go bust up something beautiful 
        G
we'll have to build again 

     G     
When I get home from work
        C              G
I'll wrestle off my clothes
     G/F#     Em7               C
And leave em right inside the front door
          G
'cause nobody's home to know

             D
You see a hammer finds a nail
         C                      G
And a freight train needs the rails
          D                           Am7
And I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do


[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
                            Em7  D C CMaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work
          Em7            D               C   
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work

G C/G (x2)


[Verse 2]
     G                    C                G
When I get my reward my work will all be done
   G/F#     Em              C                 G
And I will sit back in my chair beside the father and the son
 G                         C                 G
No more holes to fill and no more rocks to break
   G/F#        Em          C                   G
And no more loading boxes on the trucks for someone else's sake

            D
'Cause a hammer needs a nail
          C                 G
And the poor man's up for sale
            D                           Am7
Guess I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do


[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
                            Em7  D C CMaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work
           Em7                 D              C   
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt
                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work


[Bridge]
               Dadd4add9                  C
And the day will come when I'll find a reason
           Dadd4add9                   C
And somebody proud to love a man like me
         Dadd4add9                C
My back is numb, my hands are freezing
        Dadd4add9                             C
What I'm working for is something more than free


[Chorus]
              Em7              D             C 
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
                            Em7  D C CMaj7
I'm just lucky to have the work
          Em7            D               C   
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                         Em7 D C
But I thank God for the work
But I thank God for the work

G C/G (x4)
