[E] [A]
Many many years ago when this land was young,
[E] [B7]
a lot of our country was covered by big, tall, beautiful trees.
[E] [A]
And men had to have the trees to make wood to build houses,
[B7] [E] [A]
make furniture with, to make boats, even to make paper with.
[E]
So as more and more people came, more wood was needed,
[B7]
so more and more trees were cut down.
[E]
And the man that lived in the forest and cut down the trees
[E]
was called the timber man.
[E] [A]
Well, my world is green and dark and dumb,
[B7] [E]
my home is in the loggin' camp,
[E] [A]
All week I cut down the mighty trees,
[B7] [E]
Saturday I get to do as I please.
[B7] [A] [E]
I give the man more than his hire, and he'll never know it, if I tire,
[B7] [A] [E]
show me the toughest tree around, the timber man will bring it down.
[A] [E] [B7] [E]
Swing it hard, cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
[A] [E] [B7] [E]
move when the axe is in my hand make way for the timber man.
[E]
Yeah, he was a mighty big tough man usually,
that timber man that lived in that forest and cut down those big trees.
[E] [A]
Well, they say there's sawdust in my brain,
[B7] [E]
and don't get caught out in the rain.
[E] [A]
I got stump water in my blood,
[B7] [E]
the sweat from my brow turns the ground to mud.
[B7]
When the men don't know how to fell a tree,
[A] [E]
the one they'll come and ask is me.
[B7]
I'll mark my spot and I'll take my stand,
[A] [E]
the tree’s gonna fall for the timber Man
[A] [E] [B7] [E]
Swing it hard cut it clean, no halfway or in-between,
[A] [E] [B7] [E]
move when the axe is in my hand, make way for the timber man.
[E] [B7]
And when they're cuttin' on a tree and it's just about ready to fall,
[E]
the man yells out : “Timber ! Timber !"
